How fiendishly delightful! 🎃

All Saints' Wake returns to FFXIV on Friday, October 17! 🦇 sqex.to/nhS63

Concept artwork for Final Fantasy 14's All Saints' Wake 2025 seasonal event. The artwork features several characters posed ready for battle with their weapons drawn towards a mandragora wearing a jack-o-lantern head and witch's hat in front of a spooky forest under a full moon. From left to right, a Tonawawta with short light gray hair in sleeveless red attire; a Tonawawta with short dark gray hair wearing a blue jacket and orange scarf; a Shetona with short dark hair and glasses wielding a bow; a Hhetsarro with dark hair holding a shield with red patterns; and a Mamool Ja holding her hands near her mouth.

What inspired Dragon Quest VII Reimagined’s distinctive ‘hand-crafted style’ visuals, and how has the game been streamlined and enhanced?

We speak to Producer Takeshi Ichikawa to find out. sqex.link/agpj

In Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, we see the Hero's party, comprised of Maribel, Kiefer, and the Hero, meeting Ruff and his wolf companion for the first time in a mountainous green area.

The key art for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined features Ruff, Maribel, the Hero, and Kiefer, on a boat embarking on a journey around the world!

This photo shows a battle in Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, with Maribel casting Frizz Cracker on a group of four aquatic enemies, which doesn't seem like a good idea considering they're battling on a wooden boat at sea.

This photo features the overworld of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined as the Hero's party heads towards a curious Drakulard, who has spotted the party.
