Announcing the Next Version Update (06/26/2025)

The next version update is scheduled for early July.

July brings with it the monthly updates to Ambuscade. Also, in order to allow new and returning adventurers alike to enjoy the game even more, the content of the Monster Rearing Campaign and the regular Dark Matter Arcane Glyptics Campaign will now be included as standardized features within the game.

Celestial Nights (06/24/2025)

Once again, the Celestial Nights event is returning to Vana'diel.

Celestial Nights is a special event born from the tale of the star-crossed lovers, Prince Yahiko and Princess Amdina. Long, long ago, a chance encounter between the pair on opposite banks of the river that divided their two kingdoms led to them falling madly in love, but their romance was not meant to be, as the young lovers perished without ever having the chance to share so much as a moment's embrace.

As a special tribute to the ill-fated lovers, two actors playing the roles of Prince Yahiko and Princess Amdina will appear in Vana'diel during the event period. Use emotes to help guide the two lovers to their destination!

Furthermore, you can trade various items to the Curator Moogle found in each of the three nations to receive the Duelist Board furnishing. We hope you enjoy this special addition to the Celestial Nights celebration.

Event Period:
Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Tuesday, July 15, at 7:59 a.m.
