FFXV has a new free event available where Noctis teams up with Terra Battle 2's Sarah in a promotional event for Mistwalker's upcoming Terra Wars game which will feature characters from the first two Terra Battle games. Here's the trailer:
Like previous events, you net yourself some cool new stuff and it's nice to see Sarah get new life since her own game was pulled off the market this month. For those wondering, Terra Battle 2 launched last year and was developed by both Mistwalker studios and the Bravely Default team Silicon Studio. The game had a rough time both in the West and Japan so Mistwalker announced last June they were pulling the plug on the title with the Western version shut down at the start of the month while the Japanese version will end on the 28th of this month. The only explanation given for this sudden action was that the game was hit with too many unforeseen struggles and the team couldn't keep up with it. With that said, Terra Battle 1 is still going strong, though it will release it's final major patch next month but there are no plans to end the games service. In addition, Terra Wars is still in beta.
On the FFXV front, this is the first of three cross game collaborations, the other two being a Lara Croft costume collab for Comrades, and new T-shirt designs based on DJ Nobunaga which itself will now get remixed music from FFXV for it's title.
Finally got to try this out, and it was actually really cute. Good to hear Nobuo Uematsu's music again, and Sarah was pretty adorable. Makes me feel sad Terra Battle 2 was cancelled because this made me want to play it a little more. I kind of wonder if Stella had stayed in XV, if her interaction with Noctis would be similar to the one he shares with Sarah? Anyway, you get her weapon for completing the quest which is not too bad and works like a very well balanced Ultima Weapon with mid tier stats. Kind of worthless for my post game party but I still like the design and the memories.
