Project Goos brings Final Fantasy XIV job-themed goose pins to life! Back the Kickstarter and join our art and Clip Studio Paint giveaway!
Final Fantasy XIV player, get ready to honk your love for Eorzea loud and proud! Artist @niyodoesart has launched a new Kickstarter titled Project Goos: a cute series of FFXIV class-themed goose enamel pins!
Goose Your Job
Project Goos is a pin collection featuring 9 iconic FFXIV jobs reimagined as adorable, expressive geese, each styled in their level 50 base gearsets. From Warrior main to a loyal White Mage, there's a goose for everyone!
The 1.5" (roughly 3.81cm) pins are crafted in Black Nickel plated Enamel, with up to 8 colors per design, and each stamped "Project Goos" on the backplate. Production is handled in partnership with Vograce Charms, putting an important point on quality.
You can take a look at the example render of the Scholar Pin:
Meet the Artist Behind the Honk
Project Goos is the work of Niyo, an incredible artist and big part of the FFXIV community. You can explore more of their work at niyo.art.
Project Goos started as a funny inside joke within a small Final Fantasy XIV Free Company called the "Honk Tavern" back in early 2020. Inspired by a single playthrough of Untitled Goose Game, a lighthearted community quickly formed around the idea of dressing up geese as FFXIV jobs. This led to a growing Discord community, a mascot called Goos-hime, and even custom stickers.
The Free Company welcomed players who owned the iconic Ugly Duckling minion and embraced a friendly "adopt a sprout" approach to help newcomers through the game. When the pandemic hit, their growing, wholesome community became a social safe place for many new players.
Months ago, what started as a meme transformed into something real when artist Niyo began designing the beloved goose characters as enamel pins. After months of iteration, Project Goos is now ready to bring these pins to life, and you can be part of it!
Back the Kickstarter
Project Goos will go live on Kickstarter on June 1st, 2025. If you love enamel pins, geese, or just want to support awesome indie creators doing cool things for games we all love, check out the campaign and consider participating in it if you have the possibility to do so:

Level Requirement Disciple of War or Magic level 100 Item Level Requirement Average item level 690 or above Party Size Eight players Time Limit 180 minutes Requirements
Unfamiliar Territory
Disciple of War or Magic level 100 The Phantom Village (X:6.1 Y:6.4) Archive Players must first complete the quest "The Phantom Village." Entering the Occult Crescent
Players can enter the Occult Crescent by speaking with Jeffroy in the phantom village (X:4.5 Y:6.6). If entering as a party, the leader must speak with Jeffroy.
Traversing the Occult Crescent
Players are free to ride mounts at any time after entering the Occult Crescent, but they cannot fly.
Occult Return
While on the Occult Crescent, the action Return will be replaced by Occult Return.
Using this action will return players to return to the base camp.
Changing Classes and Jobs
You may change between Disciple of War and Magic classes and jobs that are at level 100. Note, however, that you cannot change classes or jobs during combat or under certain other conditions.
Character Progress
Progress on the Occult Crescent is measured by a separate leveling system.
Knowledge
Players accrue knowledge─akin to experience points─by completing quests and defeating enemies that inhabit the isle.
Knowledge Level
This is the leveling system specific to the Occult Crescent. Your knowledge level can be increased by accumulating sufficient knowledge.
Engaging foes with a knowledge level higher than your own will reduce damage dealt and increase damage received, but will garner more knowledge upon victory.
Current knowledge level is displayed via the Occult Crescent HUD and the experience bar.
Incapacitation Penalty
If your knowledge level is above 5, falling in battle on the Occult Crescent can incur a penalty. If you are incapacitated and return to base camp without being revived, or if you leave the instance while incapacitated, you will lose a portion of your knowledge. Should your knowledge fall below zero, your knowledge level will also decrease. The amount of knowledge lost depends on your current knowledge level.
EXP Chains
Under certain conditions, consecutively defeating enemies within a set time period will yield a bonus to knowledge, phantom experience, and rewards accrued.
The bonus yielded increases incrementally up until chain 30, beyond which the bonus is capped.
EXP chains occur upon defeating an enemy whose knowledge level exceeds your own, but the exact threshold will change depending on party size.
During solo play, the threshold is based on your own knowledge level. While in a balanced party, the threshold is based on the party's average knowledge level. The exact thresholds are as follows:
Solo: 2 levels higher 2 players: 3 levels higher 3 or 4 players: 4 or 5 levels higher 5 or 6 players: 6 or 7 levels higher 7 or 8 players: 7 or 8 levels higher
* Chain bonuses will not occur when defeating enemies whose knowledge level falls outside the applicable threshold. Enemies that can generate an EXP chain upon defeat are indicated with a special icon.
Phantom Jobs
Phantom jobs are supplemental jobs that can be acquired in addition to your main job.
Selecting a phantom job will grant access to specific phantom actions.
Acquiring Phantom Jobs
As you progress through quests on the Occult Crescent: South Horn, you will gain access to different phantom jobs. Further phantom jobs can be acquired using items called "soul shards." These crystalline objects can be purchased from a vendor on the isle, or found in critical encounters.
* Updated Tuesday, 27 May 2025 at 9:15 (GMT) / 10:15 (BST) / 19:15 (AEST) to address textual errors.
Outside of combat and certain specific conditions, phantom jobs can be changed at any time by selecting Phantom Job Details on the Occult Crescent HUD, selecting Change Phantom Job, and then choosing your desired phantom job from the Phantom Job Repertoire window.
Phantom Job Progression
Phantom job progression is governed by your phantom job level, which is increased by accruing phantom EXP. Defeating enemies and completing encounters upon the isle will garner phantom EXP for your current phantom job.
Acquiring sufficient phantom EXP will increase your phantom job level, unlocking new phantom actions and phantom traits in the process.
Upon reaching a phantom job's maximum level, you will receive the Phantom Mastery status, which grants increased damage dealt and other helpful effects, and remains active even should you change to another phantom job.
The more jobs you master, the more powerful your Phantom Mastery effects become.
The exception to this is the first phantom job available to you, Phantom Freelancer. Freelancers do not gain experience through traditional means. Instead, it levels up with every additional phantom job you master.
Phantom Actions
Phantom actions are special actions available while on the Occult Crescent.
Different phantom jobs have access to a variety of offensive, restorative, and supplemental phantom actions.
Phantom actions can be executed and toggled using the following methods:
Phantom Action Panel
Upon acquisition, phantom actions are registered to the phantom action panel, from which they can be selected for execution.
When using a gamepad, press RT + Right Thumb-click (R2 + R3) to execute the currently selected phantom action. If multiple phantom actions are available to use, pressing LT + Right Thumb-click (L2 + R3) will rotate the phantom action panel, allowing you to toggle between different phantom actions.
The phantom action panel can also be controlled using duty action found under the Duties tab in the Actions & Traits window.
Action Effect Duty Action I Execute Phantom Action Duty Action II Select Phantom Action Assign to Default Phantom Action Slot
Assigns the selected phantom action to the default slot on the phantom action panel. Hide from Phantom Action Panel / Display in Phantom Action Panel
Hides or displays the selected phantom action in the phantom action panel. Actions assigned to the default phantom action slot cannot be hidden. Set to Hotbar (Gamepad Only) The following settings are accessible via the Phantom Job window:
Phantom Action Rotation (Clockwise / Counterclockwise) Reset After Execution
When enabled, resets the phantom action panel after executing actions. Gamepad Input
Select which combination of inputs are used to select and execute phantom actions. Executing Phantom Actions via the Hotbar
Phantom actions can executed via the hotbar just like other actions. To do so, simply register the phantom action icons found under the Duties tab in Actions & Traits to your hotbar.
Phantom Actions I-V are automatically switched to their respective phantom actions while on the Occult Crescent.
They can be dragged and dropped to the hotbar, or registered via the subcommand menu.
Encounters on the Occult Crescent
While exploring the isle, players can participate in FATEs and critical encounters. Neither FATEs nor critical encounters are affected by your knowledge level.
FATEs
FATEs are combat encounters that occur around the isle. Players may join FATEs by going to the indicated location on the map, even after an encounter has started.
Critical Encounters
Critical encounters are large-scale battles wherein up to 72 players band together to take on powerful opponents. Certain critical encounters can only be triggered by defeating monsters on the isle.
To participate, players must go to the location indicated on their map before the battle begins and remain in the designated area.
The Forked Tower: Blood
The Forked Towers are the greatest challenge to be found on the Occult Crescent. Accessible upon reaching knowledge level 20 or greater, you may work together with up to 48 total players to overcome powerful foes and tricky battle mechanics.
The Forked Towers may be unlocked by completing a certain quest available on the Occult Crescent.
Entering the Forked Towers
Players must offer sanguine ciphers at a cipher reliquary to activate an aetherial node, which will teleport them inside the tower's halls. Ciphers can be purchased from a member of the expedition via a currency exclusive to the Occult Crescent. The quantity of ciphers in your possession is displayed on the Occult Crescent HUD.
Cipher reliquaries will only appear during special weather conditions. When 16 or more players offer sanguine ciphers to a reliquary, the aetherial node will activate.
A short time after the node is activated, a maximum of 48 players who offered sanguine ciphers will receive the Right of Entry: The Forked Tower status effect, granting them clearance to enter the Forked Tower. If more than 48 players offered ciphers, those who invested a greater number will have a higher chance of being selected for entry.
Note that expended sanguine ciphers will be returned to those who are not selected.
Resurrection Restrictions
While inside the Forked Tower: Blood, players will be subjected to a status effect that limits resurrection. Stacks of this effect are lost each time players are revived using certain phantom actions. After reaching 0 stacks, players can no longer be resurrected.
Abandoning Duty
Players who are incapacitated and elect to return to the starting point, or use Occult Return, will be transported back to the base camp and will not be permitted to reenter the tower.
Occult Crescent Currencies
On the Occult Crescent, there are two forms of currency: Enlightenment silver pieces, primarily acquired from critical encounters and FATEs, and Enlightenment gold pieces, primarily acquired from defeating enemies in the wild.
Both can be traded to the expedition antiquarian on the South Horn (X:38.1 Y:7.0) for a variety of items.
You can confirm the amount of these currencies in your possession at any time by viewing the Occult Crescent interface.
Parties
Unlike normal instanced duties, you may form, disband, or leave a party at any time on the Occult Crescent. You may also change your online status to Looking for Party.
* Note that if you enter the Occult Crescent with a party and decide to leave the party while exploring, you will be returned to the previously formed party upon exiting the instance.
Balanced Parties
A party formed on the Occult Crescent will be considered balanced when all members of the party are within 3 knowledge levels of each other.
In balanced parties, your knowledge level is adjusted to the average level of all party members, and enemies defeated award increased phantom experience.
Knowledge Level Sync
A warning icon will display at the top of the Occult Crescent interface when your party is not balanced.
The party leader may press the level sync icon at the top of the Occult Crescent interface to toggle knowledge level sync on or off.
Enabling this setting will adjust the knowledge level of all members three or more levels higher than the member whose knowledge level is lowest, creating a balanced party. Warriors of Light are encouraged to make use of this feature as needed when playing in a group.
Knowledge Crystals
These mysterious crystals erected around the Occult Crescent hold a special power.
Knowledge crystals resonate with certain phantom actions, granting players and their party members corresponding effects, such as reduced vulnerability against certain types of attacks, increased movement speed, and more.
Treasure Coffers
The Occult Crescent is teeming with treasure for the taking.
These chests are only visible to you, so be sure to reap the spoils when you encounter one while exploring.
Defeating monsters on the Occult Crescent and completing certain events may cause chests to appear somewhere on the isle.
Persistent Pots, Plentiful Treasure
Some FATEs on the Occult Crescent will task you with defending magic pots from hostile creatures. Those who contribute to the successful completion of these FATEs will discover a persistent pot NPC following them afterwards.
* Should a large number of players participate in one of these FATEs, players will instead be selected at random to have a persistent pot follow them.
Players being followed by a persistent pot will be granted the status "Cache Me if You Can." In exchange for sips of elixir, these soulkin will offer hints as to the location of hidden treasure.
Follow the hints and use your elixir at the correct location to reveal a concealed coffer. On rare occasions, the "Cache Me if You Can" status may persist even after finding treasure, allowing you to pursue further spoils.
The hunt for treasure will end when the status expires, you join a critical engagement while being followed by a persistent pot, you are incapacitated, or the persistent pot is incapacitated.
* Note that leaving the Occult Crescent or logging out of the game will also prematurely conclude your treasure pursuits.
Fortune Carrots
Treasure chests on the Occult Crescent sometimes hold a fortune carrot.
With one in your possession, you may start to notice signs of certain creatures nearby.
Using a fortune carrot near such signs will draw these creatures out into the open, eager to repay you with treasure. Be mindful that when someone receives a reward, however, you will have to search elsewhere for new signs of the creatures.
Occult Record
Complete quests on the Occult Crescent: South Horn to unlock the Occult Record, accessible under Collection in the Duty section of the main menu.
Information concerning the Occult Crescent discovered during your expedition is compiled in the Occult Record.
Entries will be added to the record as you progress through the story, discover notes in the course of your expedition, and after you access certain areas of the isle.
The phantom weapons quest line has been added.
As players explore the Occult Crescent and advance through the phantom weapon quests, they will be able to obtain job-specific weapons which can be enhanced as they progress.

A Live Letter for FFXIV Mobile was released on Bilibili, revealing brand-new information about the upcoming mobile game! Find out more about the 16 dye layers, unique dodge mechanics for all classes, and more!
Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is set up to be a feature-rich adaptation of the acclaimed MMORPG, with recent insights from a Live Letter livestream on the FFXIV Chinese Bilibili account, revealing more on the upcoming FFXIV mobile game.
This version aims to bring the world of Eorzea to handheld devices, with a range of new features, reimagined content, and deep customization options that set it apart from the main PC and console versions.
Release Timeline (China)
The official roadmap for FFXIV Mobile's launch in China has been clearly outlined. The game is set to begin Closed Beta 2 on May 23, 2025, followed by an Open Beta in June 2025, and culminating in a full Chinese release on August 23, 2025. Although there is no confirmed timeline for the global version, it's expected to arrive soon after the Chinese launch.
General Gameplay Details
FFXIV Mobile introduces several quality-of-life enhancements designed to make Eorzea more accessible on mobile devices. An auto-pathing system will allow you to navigate to quests and FATEs effortlessly, though it notably does not auto-complete content.
The game is developed by LightSpeed Studio, with Square Enix providing oversight to make sure the quality remains, and it fits the main game's tone.
Enhanced Customization: 16 Dye Layers
One of the standout features of FFXIV Mobile is its massively upgraded glamour and dye system. You can now customize gear with 16 individual dye channels per item, far surpassing the two available in the retail version.
This allows for deep personalization of sleeves, feathers, petals, and more. The dye interface is intuitive, letting you dye all at once or per piece, providing incredible freedom in crafting unique looks.
This feature was showcased with detailed, multi-layered glam sets that received high praise from viewers. However, due to engine limitations, this is unlikely to make its way into the main game.
Reworked Coil of Bahamut – Turn 1
The Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 1 has been entirely reimagined for mobile. Gone are the elevation mechanics and traditional raid trash!
The fight now begins directly at the boss in a simplified, flat arena. Key fight adjustments include interruptible mechanics, a reworked slime/puddle feeding system, and new tank swaps, split boss phases, and back/front cleaves.
To add to the challenge, the boss can absorb puddles or slimes to regain health. This redesign is intended to fit modern raid pacing while still providing a satisfying challenge.
Revamped Combat Mechanics
Combat in FFXIV Mobile gets a new twist with the addition of a dodge button for all classes. On a 15-second cooldown, each job features its own unique dodge animation.
While it's not yet clear if it grants invincibility frames or just added mobility, it promises to add a new layer of strategy to fights.
The game also introduces dynamic class mechanics, such as the Paladin's gauge, which now builds through auto-attacks and blocking, offering more interactive and visually engaging combat.
Comprehensive Player Statistics
FFXIV Mobile includes a helpful player statistics panel that provides detailed metrics like distance traveled, time played, and more. This allows you to track your adventures with a greater level of detail.
User Interface Overhaul
The mobile adaptation introduces a reworked UI for combat, specifically tailored for touchscreens. Abilities are accessible via an intuitive layout, maintaining strategic depth while optimizing for mobile play.
Monetization Concerns
LightSpeed Studio has emphasized that FFXIV Mobile will not feature gacha mechanics. Microtransactions are expected to be minimal and fair, with a focus on long-term player engagement rather than short-term monetization. However, some skepticism remains until Closed Beta 2 provides further information about this.
Initial impressions suggest that FFXIV Mobile is not just a port but a full rework, with major UI and customization upgrades that could set a new standard for mobile MMOs.
It also raises a lot of questions concerning the features added for the mobile version, that are still inexistent in the original version on PC and consoles. More information will most likely be shared after the Chinese Closed Beta on May 23, 2025, so stay tuned for more soon!
