Final Fantasy 14 fans can’t get enough of the MMO’s wonderfully simple instructions on how to access the Monster Hunter Wilds crossover’s content: “Create a character, play roughly 600 hours”

by

During the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 event, it was unveiled that there will be a crossover between Monster Hunter Wilds and Final Fantasy 14. However, based on Square Enix’s straightforward guidelines, players might need some time to access this new content.

Indeed, you’re correct! Capcom is teaming up with an MMO developer for another project involving their action RPG series Monster Hunter – this time it’s called Monster Hunter Wilds. The last joint project from these studios was back in August 2018, a span of seven years ago, when Monster Hunter World and Final Fantasy 14 merged. Although the content is different this time, with the menacing Arkveld making an appearance in Square Enix’s game, the prerequisites to access it are quite similar.

Previously, gamers had to finish the main storyline in Final Fantasy 14, which included Stormblood. Now, they find themselves in a similar position, but with three new expansions released since the last crossover event, there’s significantly more content to explore. The official guide for accessing Monster Hunter Wilds content has also sparked laughter among players, as humorously pointed out by numerous users, including this post that has gained quite a bit of attention online.

The fan expresses their frustration in a post accompanied by a guide from Square Enix for the MH Wilds collab in XIV. They detail the steps required for participation: first, creating a character, and second, completing approximately 500 hours of content. A commenter humorously remarks that these requirements are causing a surge of enthusiasm among some players, who they refer to as “emotional vampires.

In another Reddit post, there are comical guidelines on how to access the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds content in Final Fantasy 14 once it becomes available. The gap between these two steps tickles its author. The steps are: “1. Generate a character, 2. Spend around 600 hours of gameplay… Well done, you’re all set to enjoy!” Another Redditor’s comment on a separate thread is equally amusing – if not more so.

The length of time between these two steps is hilarious to me from r/ffxiv
