In a very much surprising and unexpected turn of events, Final Fantasy 14 (FFXIV) will be holding a crossover with the well-known game Fall Guys. Although the collaboration is over on the side of Fall Guys, FFXIV will soon be getting their side of the collaboration.

For starters, let's talk about when this crossover will happen. The FFXIV x Fall Guys Cross Over will arrive in FFXIV on October 31, 2023, with the arrival of patch 6.51. 

Once the patch goes live, players will be able to play on Fall Guys-inspired obstacle courses. This includes various mechanics from the platformer such as moving platforms, swinging obstacles, and more. These obstacle courses will implement the battle royale mechanic, allowing players to compete against friends and other Warriors of Light. Up to 24 players will be able to compete in each stage. It will be available on a seasonal basis. That is, it will be available for a certain amount of time in the Gold Saucer and then go on a cooldown before becoming available again.

As can be seen in the video, these obstacle courses will incorporate FFXIV's mechanics, meaning payers will be able to see the telegraphs of each obstacle. This doesn't make it easier, but it does properly incorporate and meld together the gameplay of both games. The obstacle courses also utilize the game's already present debuffs, like the dizzy debuff that changes what direction your character is going in.

As for the rewards, players will be able to get Fall Guys-inspired Glamour pieces, as well as some minions.

As for the Fall Guys side of the crossover, it started back on August 22, 2023, and ended on October 3, 2023. That is to say, the Fall Guys side of the collaboration is already over. Players were able to grind a Warriors of Light Fame Pass. This Fame Pass included various themed costumes, emotes, and rewards. These are just some of the rewards that players were able to get from the pass:
