Final Fantasy 14's fourth expansion, Endwalker, is just over a month away from entering Early Access. As players tie up loose ends from the Shadowbringers cycle of the game, one fan group has shared a checklist chock full of ideas for their fellow Warriors of Light to accomplish as they count down the days until Endwalker.
The Phookas, named after the goofy Final Fantasy 14 creatures of the same name, are a group of three players who have come together to share their knowledge in the form of helpful graphics, videos, lists, and other media. With the recent influx of new players, they saw an opportunity to create a wholesome community with which to share their knowledge of the game's extensive secrets, for the benefit of both veterans and sprouts.
The infographic in question offers a plethora of potential goals for eager fans of Final Fantasy 14 to accomplish in the weeks to come, all with a myriad of cute, colorful, and helpful pictures to guide them. From leveling the many jobs in Final Fantasy 14 to collecting various types of currencies to completing old content and farming mounts, the infographic from The Phookas provides ideas abound for players itching to busy themselves in anticipation of the new release.
Despite the drought of content that always precedes an MMORPG's expansion pack release, Final Fantasy 14 has been more popular than ever before, with unprecedented numbers of new players flocking to the game from all corners of the world. While new players have over six years of content to explore, players who are all caught up with the story or who are returning after a long hiatus may find themselves aimless after catching up with the Main Scenario Quest.
Helpful groups of veterans, like The Phookas, not only help illuminate the oft-confusing corners of the game, but help to build up the positive player base Final Fantasy 14 has cultivated–one of its most critically acclaimed features, especially from players ditching other MMORPGs.
Luckily, players will not have to wait much longer for Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker. Early Access for players who pre-ordered the expansion pack begins on Friday, November 19th, and October 19th will see the return of the Moogle Treasure Trove event, which will provide even more incentive for players to dive into old content and claim exclusive, hard-to-get rewards in the month before Endwalker.
Between the suggestions provided in The Phookas' guide, next week's ongoing event, and the Final Fantasy 14 Media Tour's NDA over Endwalker's new skills expiring on Wednesday, Warriors of Light will have plenty of things to occupy their time as they await their next adventures in Hydaelyn.
Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker releases on November 23 for PC, PS4, and PS5.
