by

Summary

  • Final Fantasy 14 devs are eager to collaborate with Monster Hunter Wilds, showing strong interest in a potential crossover.
  • The FF14 team previously worked on a successful Monster Hunter World collaboration.
  • There is no official announcement for such a team-up yet, but with interest from Square Enix, hopefilly one will happen.

As a devoted fan who has spent countless hours immersed in both the sprawling worlds of Final Fantasy 14 and Monster Hunter series, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of a potential collaboration between these two titans of the gaming industry. The memories of teaming up with friends to take down Rathalos in FF14 or braving the wilds of Monster Hunter World to hunt Behemoth are still fresh in my mind, and I’m eager for more shared experiences like these.

Masaki Nakagawa, the lead battle content designer for Final Fantasy 14, recently hinted at the possibility of a partnership with Monster Hunter Wilds. Given that Final Fantasy 14 previously teamed up with Monster Hunter World, fans are optimistic that Capcom and Final Fantasy 14 developers may join forces once more to provide players with fresh content.

In the year 2018, Square Enix and Capcom joined forces to introduce a unique crossover between “Final Fantasy 14” and “Monster Hunter World”. This collaboration brought free additional content to both games. Players of “Final Fantasy 14” banded together to confront the fearsome Rathalos from “Monster Hunter” in a special mission, while fans of “Monster Hunter World” found themselves chasing after “Final Fantasy’s” Behemoth. Successfully completing these missions rewarded players with exciting extras such as a Palico minion in “Final Fantasy 14” and Dragoon armor in “Monster Hunter World”. The collaboration was met with great enthusiasm by fans, leaving many to speculate about future collaborations between the two franchises, given that “Monster Hunter Rise” in 2021 did not collaborate with “Final Fantasy 14”.

In a Gamesradar+ interview, it was revealed by Masaki Nakagawa, lead battle content designer of Final Fantasy 14, that his team admires the Monster Hunter series and would be thrilled to collaborate on a Monster Hunter Wilds crossover project if given the chance. However, Nakagawa emphasized that before any collaboration can take place, they plan to immerse themselves in playing Monster Hunter Wilds first. The designer who previously worked on the battle content for the Monster Hunter World collaboration is reportedly still enthusiastic and has some creative ideas for future collaborations.

Final Fantasy 14 Developer Comments on Potential Monster Hunter Wilds Collab

  • Lead battle content designer Masaki Nakagawa would love to work on a Monster Hunter Wilds collab.
  • The Final Fantasy 14 development team are fans of the Monster Hunter franchise.
  • There’s nothing to announce at this time, but the Final Fantasy 14 developers are enthusiastic about creating new collab content if the opportunity arises.

If Nakagawa were presented with the chance to collaborate on a “Monster Hunter Wilds” project, he believes the “Final Fantasy 14” team could produce something extraordinary, fueled by their boundless excitement. While no new collaboration has been officially announced, players of “Final Fantasy 14” can still enjoy the “Monster Hunter World” content to the present moment, provided they have completed the main scenario quest in Stormblood and reached level 70.

It seems evident that the creators of Final Fantasy 14 are optimistic about collaborating with Capcom again, but given that Monster Hunter Wilds is due for release on February 28, 2025, following up on Monster Hunter World, fans may have to be patient before any formal collaboration news surfaces. Monster Hunter Wilds is an anticipated game in the Monster Hunter series, and it’s a significant launch that both Monster Hunter enthusiasts and Final Fantasy 14 developers eagerly await.
