In commemoration of A Realm Reborn’s 10th anniversary, we are excited to announce the FINAL FANTASY XIV TTRPG (tabletop role-playing game), the first of its genre to be officially released by the FINAL FANTASY series!

Tabletop RPGs are games in which a group of participants create and act as their own character in a dynamic narrative. Each decision can lead to all sorts of unpredictable moments, as the outcomes of players’ choices are determined by a roll of the dice!

Newcomers will be well-equipped with this starter set, which includes scenarios supervised by the FFXIV Development team and original dice, all carefully crafted to provide an engaging experience for fans of FFXIV and tabletop RPGs.

Embark on your own original adventures in familiar locales and dungeons to rediscover FFXIV’s FATEs, monsters, and NPCs in tabletop form!

Visit the FINAL FANTASY XIV TTRPG teaser site for product details and future updates.

PvP Series 4 will soon draw to a close with the release of Patch 6.5.

Furthermore, series rewards will be updated at the start of Series 5, so be sure not to leave any malmstone unturned!
Participate in PvP to Earn Series Rewards

Participate in PvP content during the Series period to earn Series EXP and increase your Series level to unlock various exciting rewards!

• At the start of each new Series period, your Series EXP and level will be reset and the available rewards will be replaced.
• Any trophy crystals earned will be carried over to the new Series.

Claiming Your Rewards

Rewards from Series 4 can only be claimed until the end of Series 5.

For reference, you can confirm your progress in the current Series─as well as the Series EXP required to reach the next malmstone─by navigating to the Character menu, selecting PvP Profile, and finally Series Malmstones.
