The Rising 2021 celebrates Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn’s 8th anniversary
It’s hard to believe that eight years have passed since the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Players can celebrate this milestone with the game’s annual The Rising event, which runs from now until September 9, 2021.
As always, this event wont be anything bombastic, but it does offer director and producer Naoki Yoshida a chance to share a message with Final Fantasy XIV’s ever-growing playerbase.
After completing the short questline (started via the NPC Kipih Jakkya in Ul’Dah), you’ll unlock the Red Moon Parasol. It’s a similar parasol to many of the existing ones in-game, just with the game’s meteor logo printed on the top.

Now all that’s left before the release of Endwalker is a rerun of the Final Fantasy XV event next month — you can get a four seat mount for your troubles.
