MMOs love a good recurring seasonal event, and Final Fantasy 14 is no different. It’s cultivated a decent rotation at this point, and while Square Enix doesn’t tend to share the exact dates for its events super far ahead, each one tends to occur at roughly the same time each year.
There’s your classic Valentine’s, Easter, and Halloween events (all with their own Final Fantasy-esque names), along with ones similar to Japanese holidays, and fictional in-universe ones. Final Fantasy 14 occasionally peppers in special limited-time collaborations too—like the Final Fantasy 15 collaboration event with the Regalia mount.
To make sure you’re keeping up with each seasonal celebration, here’s a schedule outlining details on the current Final Fantasy 14 event, what to expect next, and anything you may have missed.

What is the current Final Fantasy 14 event?
Final Fantasy 14 is currently running its annual Make it Rain campaign, which starts in Ul’dah with the quest ‘It Could Happen to You’. The event provides increased MGP from Gold Saucer activities, and even discounts on some MGP-related prizes when purchased from the campaign attendant.
It’s also where we’re able to re-obtain the coveted Senor Otter backpack that mysteriously made its way into people’s inventories with Patch 7.5—something that turned out to be a bug.
