It’s not unprecedented for video games to function nods to different video games and eagle eyed gamers of The Sims 4 have observed a less-than-subtle reference to Last Fantasy XIV’s Shadowbringers enlargement within the newest Sims 4 Stuff Pack, Crystal Creations. 

Gamers observed this fairly apparent (no less than to these Simmers who play FFXIV) reference within the description of the Spire-Formed Gemstone. When you hover over the gemstone, its description reads, “Your personal mini crystal tower than an exarch could be happy with.”

It’s a transparent nod to a fan-favorite character, the Crystal Exarch, from Shadowbringers. That, and the precise crystal tower, the centre of all the pieces within the First and the stage for A Realm Reborn’s Alliance Raids. Loads there value commemorating in a treasured stone given what the 24-man raid ultimately constructed as much as.

The Sims 4 has different FFXIV secrets and techniques, too

It’s not the primary time that the Sims 4 devs have thrown FFXIV references into the sport, both. Within the Werewolves pack, one of many objects carries the identify “Racked Teak-a Greatshelves.” It’s one other nod to extra landmarks from the MMO, The Rak’tika Greatwood, a Shadowbringers zone. 

Extra just lately, within the Rising Collectively Enlargement Pack featured one merchandise, a small board full of childrens drawings, amongst an extended listing of others. The swatches of this specific piece function numerous references to FFXIV moments, one notably apparent one being a picture of a long-tailed blue fowl flying across the planets. If you realize, you realize. 

These references are clearly intentional and the Devs behind their inclusions usually are not quiet about their love for FFXIV. The dev chargeable for the Racked Teak-a Greatshelves, SimGuruNova, has admitted up to now that they use far too many Fantasia. Importantly, although, they famous a desire to play as both Miqo’te or Au Ra throughout MSQ progress. There’s one thing I can’t blame them for.
