Like many other MMOs, Square Enix’sFinal Fantasy 14is no stranger to seasonal events. Right now,Final Fantasy 14players can participate in Heavensturn. Heavensturn is Eorzea’s counterpart to the real world’s new year celebrations.
During the celebration, players partake in short quests revolving around the chosen guardian for the year and earn appropriately themed gifts. Each of the major cities in Eorzea is also decked out with decorations to commemorate the event. While The Twelve pick a god to be honored for the year in Eorzea, an animal is chosen from a pantheon in the Far East. That year’s guardian animal is said to bring good luck and ward off evil from the lands.

The History of Heavensturn
Heavensturn in 2022
With 2022 having finally arrived,Heavensturn has come yet again toFinal Fantasy 14. This year saw the ferocious tiger honored as the totem animal. Players eager to participate in the festivities should head to Limsa Lominsa to speak with the torya bugyo. Like years past, players will be given a short and low-level quest to complete in order to spread the word about the festival. Completing the quest and accompanying fate will reward them with tiger-themed kabutos, a white tiger screen, and the “Feline Fun” achievement.
While Heavensturn may have taken a few years to figure out its formula, it’s one that has provided a brief yet enjoyable distraction forFinal Fantasy 14players. This year is no different, and for those weary of the grind, the event provides some respite in their MMO of choice.
Final Fantasy 14is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
