Final Fantasy 14 Reveals 2025 Easter Event

Summary

The 2025 Hatching-Tide event in Final Fantasy 14 will run from April 8 until April 24.
Players will be rewarded with the Archon Egg Parasol for taking part in the festivities.
The recently released 7.2 update added additional story quests and the next set of Arcadion raid battles.

Starting April 9, Final Fantasy 14 will host the annual Hatching-Tide event, with plenty of Easter-themed activities and sights for players to enjoy. This year’s iteration of Hatching-Tide will reward Final Fantasy 14 players with the Archon Egg Parasol, a fashion accessory that can be summoned and held in towns and cities for cosmetic purposes.

Final Fantasy 14‘s upcoming Hatching-Tide will begin just two weeks after the launch of Patch 7.2, Seekers of Eternity. Alongside new main story quests and the next set of Arcadion raid battles, the 7.2 update brought some quality-of-life changes to Final Fantasy 14 for players to utilize. A new “Jog” function allows players to keep some movement speed after using Sprint in sanctuaries and cities, and players may now summon their mounts while moving. Patch 7.2 also made some Job balance changes, with the Black Mage and the Pictomancer receiving more changes than their counterparts.

Final Fantasy 14 Players Share Concerns Over 7.2 Security Change

A programmer raises concerns over Final Fantasy 14’s latest security changes, as Patch 7.2’s attempt to close a vulnerability was quickly thwarted.

With April having already begun, Final Fantasy 14 players will soon have a short and charming event to participate in. According to Square Enix, the Hatching-Tide event will start on Wednesday, April 9, and conclude on Thursday, April 24, giving players just over two weeks to enjoy the festivities. The key artwork for this year’s Hatching-Tide features A Realm Reborn characters Yda and Paplymo, much like how Little Ladies’ Day put Thancred in the spotlight. Though the 2024 version of Hatching-Tide was combined with the Little Ladies’ Day event, the two holidays have once again been separated in 2025.

Final Fantasy 14 Hatching-Tide Event Arrives On April 8

Final Fantasy 14’s Hatching-Tide event runs from April 8 to 24.
The gold-colored Archon Egg Parasol will be rewarded after completing new quests.
Hatching-Tide will take place in Gridania.
Past rewards like the Peatie mount may be discounted on the Online Store.

This year’s Hatching-Tide will take place in the forest city of Gridania, at Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre. A quest from Jihli Aliapoh called “In Pursuit of Eggcelence” will be available for Final Fantasy 14 players at level 15 or higher, meaning Free Trial accounts can participate as well. Like similar holiday quests, players can expect a short but charming story to go alongside the egg-themed experience.

After completing the Hatching-Tide quests, players will be rewarded with the Archon Egg Parasol, a fashion accessory that can be summoned in cities. Fashion accessories are considered collectibles, similar to mounts and minions, with more added in each content patch. Past Hatching-Tide rewards like the Peatie mount are currently available for purchase on the Final Fantasy 14 Online Store, though the holiday may offer additional limited-time discounts.

Hatching-Tide will conclude just two days after the launch of Patch 7.21, which will bring the long-awaited Cosmic Exploration feature to Final Fantasy 14. What surprises await Final Fantasy 14 players this spring remains to be seen.
