With the announcement of the Alliance Raid, Yoshi-P also revealed brand-new battle content: The Chaotic Alliance Raid! The first Chaotic Alliance Raid will be The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic):

Yoshi-P stated that those raids will be much harder than the normal Alliance Raid. It will be some sort of Savage Raid but with 24 players. You will not have to run through trash to get to the boss like in the normal Alliance raids, you will immediately face the boss. In this case, Cloud of Darkness.

The fight will require heavy teamwork between all three alliances, and pre-made parties will likely be required to make it through the fight. Yoshi-P has also revealed that a special reward will be granted to players who overcome this fight. The guess would be on armor or mounts. Not much more has been revealed about it for now, but it is very exciting news!

Finally, the following Miscellaneous updates will also be made to the game:

  • Doman Mahjong Update: Voice reactions and commentary from the Scions will be added.
  • Housing Update:
    • Selected interior designs from different residential areas regardless of the location of your plot.
    • New interior designs will be added.

This international initiative aims to raise awareness about heart health, heart disease, stroke prevention, and CPR training.

      Event Overview
      From February 24 to February 28, 2025, WoW and FFXIV players will face off in a friendly rivalry, hosting a variety of exciting in-game events to encourage donations. The main event will go down on February 28 at 6 PM EST with a massive raid night, where players will have to clear difficult raid content in both games!
      How it Works
      Any Wow or FF creator can participate. You will be divided into two teams: one for World of Warcraft Creators and another for Final Fantasy XIV Creators. Progress will be tracked separately, allowing both communities to see how their donations are doing, and can encourage each other to donate more.
      Note that this event is not limited to FFXIV: creators from any Final Fantasy title are welcome to participate!

      Throughout the few days, both communities will host a variety of engaging activities, including:

Among Us-Style Raids: Identify imposters during alliance raids in FFXIV or LFR/Normal raids in WoW. Help players clear content: the last day, content creators will be helping their communities clear and learn the content of their choice!
      Prizes and Giveaways
      The event organizers are currently in talks with SecretLab and other sponsors to secure giveaways based on fundraising milestones. Blizzard has already agreed to provide keys for The War Within expansion, and Square Enix may also contribute rewards.
