Final Fantasy 14 is celebrating its eighth anniversary with The Rising event underway in-game for players to celebrate the occasion with a sale in the Optional Item Store and some new short stories.
Some of the new items that have been added to the Optional Item Store include the Wind-up Ardbert minion for $5.00/£2.88 and the Authentic Sultana's Seven furnishing for $5.00/£2.88. These were actually last year's event items from The Rising, so players who missed out can ensure they still get them for a small price.
That's not all either, the Optional Item Store is also currently holding a sale from Friday, August 27 at 1:00 am until Tuesday, September 21 at 12:00 am (PDT). Among the discounted items are phials of Fantasia, which means that it's the perfect time to stock up on the appearance-changing potion in time for Endwalker. Prices start at $7.00/ £4.03 for a single phial.
