Final Fantasy XIV players learned that a new crossover event is planned to bring Noctis from Final Fantasy XV into the game. The event is likely to come in April and will see Noctis come into the world with the iconic vehicle from FFXV, the Regalia. He will join the Warrior of Light "in battle against magitek infantry, magitek armor and even the Messenger, Garuda, hailing from Eos".
