We are pleased to announce the return of the "Strange Happenings in Vana'diel" event, held in celebration of the Echoes of Vana'diel crossover between FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV!
* Erroneous text has been amended.
* Updated: Sep. 24, 2026 6:20 p.m. (PDT)

Out of nowhere, giant monsters have appeared in places where they most definitely do not belong. These unexpected visitors have the potential to throw the surrounding areas into utter chaos. Therefore, we are calling upon all available adventurers to help investigate this incident and defeat the invaders!

Additionally, it's rumored that the monsters may drop rather unusual materials when defeated. These materials can be used to significantly upgrade the equipment for each race, as well as craft weapons modeled after those wielded by Gulool Ja Ja.
