Halloween Celebrations Begin in Final Fantasy XIV Online

Beginning today, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online players can ‘trick-or-treat’ themselves to the annual All Saints’ Wake event, which runs through Thursday, November 1 at 8:00 AM PDT. All adventurers are invited to take part in this limited-time event and explore a haunted manor, featuring a special questline and many frightful rewards available through this seasonal content.

As part of the in-game event, players can earn unique items during this year’s return of the Continental Circus to Gridania, including two ghost minions, Little Yin and Little Yang, and an array of housing items to bring the spooky spirit of All Saints’ Wake into any player home. Furthermore, certain items from past All Saints’ Wake events will be available for purchase during the event period.

Following the Halloween season, Square Enix will host the North American stop of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival tour in Las Vegas on November 16-17, 2018. Fans who are not able to attend the sold out event can tune into the FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival live stream, available for free on the official FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Twitch channel: https://twitch.tv/finalfantasyxiv

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
