Final Fantasy XIV All Saints' Wake Returns October 15
Final Fantasy XIV's Halloween season is almost here.
All Saints' Wake, the MMORPG's yearly spooky-season festival, returns on October 15 and runs until November 2. That gives players a little under three weeks to take part. This year's headline reward is unusual, and it will likely divide the playerbase: an outfit that turns your character into a ragged, purple-and-green teddy bear monster.
You read that right. A shabby, slightly menacing stuffed bear, worn by your Warrior of Light.
A Costume for Some, Not for All
Seasonal events in long-running MMOs tend to live or die on their cosmetics, and All Saints' Wake is no exception. Most players don't log in for the story beats of a holiday quest. They log in for the thing they get at the end. So the choice of this year's main prize matters more than it might seem.
