Eorzea Meets NERV! Final Fantasy XIV Drops Mind-Blowing Evangelion Raid Series!
Suno suno, gamers! Get ready for some absolutely mind-blowing news that’s going to make both Final Fantasy XIV and Evangelion fans lose their collective minds! Our beloved MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, is officially collaborating with the iconic anime series Evangelion to bring us an epic new 24-person raid series titled, wait for it… “Ghosts of Desire”!
This incredible revelation came straight from the top, with none other than FFXIV Director Naoki Yoshida himself announcing it at the recent North American Fan Festival. And guess what? Yoshida admitted he’s a massive “Evangelion-otaku,” so you know this collaboration is coming from a place of pure passion and respect for the source material. How cool is that?
The best part? It’s not just a superficial crossover. Yoshida confirmed that Khara Inc., the very studio behind Evangelion, will be heavily involved in creating this raid series. This means we can expect an authentic and truly immersive experience that stays true to the dark, psychological world of Evangelion, all within the breathtaking landscapes of Eorzea.
While a brief teaser trailer was shown to amp up the excitement, full details about the raid’s mechanics, story, and a firm release date are still under wraps. But honestly, just knowing this is happening is enough to keep us buzzing with anticipation!
This announcement comes hot on the heels of other exciting Evangelion news: Nier creator Yoko Taro is currently penning a new Evangelion film! Joining him are Toru Yatabe (known for Chainsaw Man) and Kazuya Tsurumaki (from Rebuild of Evangelion) as directors, with Nier: Automata composer Keiichi Okabe on board for the music. Talk about a dream team!
FFXIV has a fantastic track record with collaborations, having teamed up with Nier multiple times in the past, with the most recent one during the Shadowbringers expansion. So, if those past events are anything to go by, this Evangelion crossover is set to be nothing short of spectacular. Get ready to pilot your own FFXIV equivalent of an EVA, bhai log!
