I reckon one of many advantages of being the director on a number of video games is you possibly can simply give ’em crossover occasions with out an excessive amount of faff, and with Naoki Yoshida being on the helm of each Ultimate Fantasy 14 and Ultimate Fantasy 16, it makes an terrible lot of sense to mash them collectively into one cool questline.
That is precisely what’s taking place within the critically acclaimed MMO later this yr, with crossover quest collection The Path Infernal giving us PC gamers an opportunity to get some tangential Ultimate Fantasy 16 goodies down our gullets. We did not get an entire lot of information, however a video performed through the London Fan Pageant keynote confirmed the Warrior of Mild going toe-to-toe with eikon Ifrit with some particular Ultimate Fantasy 16 dodges and strikes thrown in, and even a glimpse of protagonist Clive Rosfield combating alongside him.
There will be some themed goodies to be earned all through the questline too, like a mount for Clive’s lovely canine companion Torgal. Yoshida additionally promised some particular themed gear up for grabs, which appears to see our Warriors of Mild with the ability to don Clive’s garb.
I do know, it is not fairly Ultimate Fantasy 16 on PC simply but however hey, it is the closest we now have up to now. We nonetheless do not know when that’ll be ported over and with Yoshida already saying that the port’s launch would not line up with the sport’s six-month console exclusivity lifting, this crossover must be a pleasant technique to go the time earlier than we get the true factor. There is not any strong launch date for the questline but, but it surely must be out earlier than latest enlargement Dawntrail hits subsequent summer time.
