Players must create a character by purchasing Final Fantasy XIV and then navigate through the base game, four expansions, and approximately 500 hours of story content to reach the Arkveld. Engaging in side quests and leveling up other classes may increase this time commitment. The collaboration will incorporate mechanics from both Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter, requiring players to use potions for healing instead of Cure spells and allowing them to sever tails during combat. There is also hope for Arkveld-themed armor to be introduced for players.
