Fall Guys and Final Fantasy XIV are setting up a crossover collaboration

Yes, Final Fantasy XIV will have a two-way crossover with Fall Guys. Legendary director Yoshi-P of FFXIV and XVI fame recently took center stage at Final Fantasy Fest to announce the collaboration least likely to appear on anyone’s bingo card.

At first, it looks like the only thing these two games have in common is their status as multiplayer juggernauts, but the concept looks like great fun. While we still don’t know the exact nature of the upcoming minigames, we know that we’ll get to play as characters from Final Fantasy XIV as they try to make it through Fall Guys-like obstacle courses.

I’ve previously talked about the most fun minigames in the history of the Final Fantasy series. Seeing a bunch of superhuman Final Fantasy heroes getting absolutely obliterated in a gauntlet of slapstick contraptions might have me rethinking that list.

Final Fall Guys

The coolest part is that it won’t be just a Final Fantasy XIV thing. Fall Guys will also have a lot of Final Fantasy stuff making its way into its world.

Eight Final Fantasy-inspired costumes are making their way into Fall Guys, as well as emotes, celebrations, and more. Ever wanted to look like a Fall Guys-ified Alisaie, Alphinaud, Goobue, Namazu, or just a simple Chocobo? You can get them all and more by acquiring the Warriors of Light Fame Pass on August 22.

We still don’t have the release date for the Final Fantasy XIV Fall Guys-themed minigames. We just know some of them will be waiting for players in the Gold Saucer once the 6.5x patch series begins to roll out.

You can currently play FFXIV on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. It’ll release for the Xbox Series X|S featuring crossplay in Spring 2024.

Fall Guys is free-to-play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
