Final Fantasy 14players will lose the opportunity to claim a free Fantasia if they don’t act before August 5. The freebie will vanish once the 7.3 update forFinal Fantasy 14arrives.
Final Fantasy 14has seen a lot of controversy recently, but it hasn’t been all bad news. Alongside the launch of Dawntrail,Final Fantasy 14underwent a graphical upgradethat changed and improved the appearance of character models, among other things. However, this led to some player characters appearing slightly different to how they were previously. As a result, free Fantasias have been offered, but strictly on a limited basis. These items essentially allow players to return to the character creator and change their Warrior of Light however they like, including by changing race or gender.
When the 7.2 patch landed forFinal Fantasy 14, the developers included an opportunity to pick up a free Fantasia. This opportunity will end with therelease of the 7.3 patch forFinal Fantasy 14, which will launch on August 5, following maintenance. Players who haven’t yet redeemed the Fantasia should make sure to pick it up by August 4, as major patches are typically accompanied by 24-hour maintenance periods. The item normally costs $10 on theFinal Fantasy 14Online Store, and once acquired, can be kept indefinitely.
Acquiring Final Fantasy 14 Free 7.2 Patch Fantasia
Those who haven’t yet gotten this particular Fantasia don’t have to work hard to get it. Players will need to go toOld Gridaniaand find the Wandering Moogle NPC there, located at (X:10.7 Y:6.4), near Apkallu Falls and the achievement reward NPC Jonathas. If using aetherytes, players can warp to either Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre or the Lancer’s Guild, as the location is roughly equidistant from either. Just talk to the Wandering Moogle, and if not already acquired, it will hand the player a free Fantasia.
At this time, the developers ofFinal Fantasy 14haven’t stated if a new free Fantasia will be offered in the future. The upcoming 7.3 patch is making some changes to the way that hoods are displayed, as well as adding morehats for Hrothgar and Viera, but no sizable changes to characters' overall appearance have been announced. Those who miss this opportunity or have already utillized their free Fantasias will likely have to go to the online store to get another one. However, players will want to keep their eyes open for potential sales, as online store items are often discounted during the game’s annual anniversary celebration, which typically begins in late August.
