Square Enix Reveals Collaboration With Twitch For Final Fantasy XIV Online

News: Thanks to this partnership you can now gift Twitch subscriptions and be rewarded with some in-game items for Final Fantasy XIV Online.

Square Enix has revealed that they are launching a new program with interactive livestreaming service, Twitch, to distribute a number of Final Fantasy XIV Online in-game items. From today until August 24, 2021, Final Fantasy XIV Online players can obtain both the Heavenscracker in-game item and the Fat Black Chocobo in-game mount by making use of Twitch’s gift subscription service when select streamers are broadcasting their adventures in Eorzea.

Viewers that gift one subscription in participating channels will receive 100 of the in-game Deluxe Heavenscracker items, while gifting four total subscriptions will grant them the Fat Black Chocobo Whistle, used to summon the in-game mount of the same name. Gifted subscriptions can be distributed in one channel or multiple channels, and the items can be received only once per Twitch account.

Participating streamers must be broadcasting Final Fantasy XIV Online at the time the gifted subscription is given. If the gifted subscription is given outside of a Final Fantasy XIV Online broadcast, it will not count towards the program.

The recently announced fourth expansion pack of the Final Fantasy XIV Online saga, Endwalker, is scheduled to release November 23, 2021 for PC, Mac, the PlayStation 5, and the PlayStation 4. Endwalker is the culmination of the Hydaelyn and Zodiark story, in which Warriors of Light will encounter an even greater calamity than ever before, and will bring an abundance of new content, including multiple new jobs, an increased level cap, vast new areas, adjustments to the battle system, as well as a variety of new battle, crafter and gatherer content.

Final Fantasy XIV Online currently has over 22 million total registered players. With that new Endwalker expansion coming later this year, now is a great time to jump in if you have always thought about doing it but never have. The expanded Free Trial now includes all content from A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward expansion (and updates through Patch 3.56), as well as an additional playable race (Au Ra), and three additional playable jobs (Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist). Free Trial players can enjoy hundreds of hours of award-winning gameplay and story experiences equivalent to two full Final Fantasy titles, without limit on playtime.
