Final Fantasy XI returns to FFXIV this month with Vana’diel inspired glamour

The Maiden’s Rhapsody is returning to Final Fantasy XIV for the fifth time on January 22, and once again, players have a chance to get their hands on some pretty sweet glamor pieces.

The Maiden’s Rhapsody is an FFXIV event celebrating the final chapter of FFXI, Rhapsodies of Vana’diel. With the theme of the upcoming Dawntrail Alliance Raid series being “Echoes of Vana’diel”, it makes sense to bring this event back for a fifth time this year, despite the fact that its last previous appearance was only in 2022.

During the event, you accompany Remumu, a reporter from the Harbor Herald, while fighting through a series of four event FATEs. Throughout the story, you’ll meet Iroha, the main heroine of the Rhapsodies of Vana’diel in FFXI, helping to restore her memory of the past.

The Maiden’s Rhapsody event runs from January 22 at 8 am GMT/12 am PST until February, ending on February 5 at 1:59 pm GMT/6:59 am PST.

To begin the quest, head to Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks and speak to Remumu (X11.6 Y11.2) to pick up the starting quest “A Journey to Remember”. 

The Amatsu set

If you happen to like what Iroha is wearing during the event, then you’ll be happy to know that’s exactly what you get as a reward for completing it!

By taking part in the event and completing the associated FATEs, you’ll get your hands on the Amatsu set. They’re level one glamor items and while sadly undyeable, they do look pretty good when mixed with pieces from other sets. 

For players who began the quest in one of its previous appearances but never got to complete it, you can pick up where you left off and get your hands on the glamor pieces this time around.

If you’ve already played through the events of The Maiden’s Rhapsody before, you can still take part in the FATEs and enjoy the storyline all over again by using the Seasonal Event Replay feature. Just talk to Remumu as you would if you were taking part for the first time and enjoy the events!
