FFXIV Digital Fan Festival Digital Goodies
There will be exclusive merchandise sold only during the Fan Festival. But of course, we care more about in-game items and goodies that we can get from the Fan Festival. The most exciting item to come out of the Fan Festival most definitely is the first 8-player mount in the game, the Lunar Whale. The Lunar Whale can only be obtained through the Final Fantasy XIV Online Store. Coming along with this massive Lunar Whale, of course, are other iconic characters from Final Fantasy IV from where it came from. Rosa, Edge, and Rydia will be debuting as minions during the Digital Fan Festival.
