FFXIV Yo-kai Watch event guide
Final Fantasy 14's "Gather One, Gather All!" event, based on the Yo-kai Watch franchise, has returned to the game and will run from 4th August to 5th October. The seasonal event lets players earn campy weapon glamours and cute minions by completing FATEs (Full Active Time Events) while wearing an in-game Yo-kai Watch, making it popular with players who are simultaneously grinding relic weapons that also require repeated FATE completion.
To take part, players must unlock the Gold Saucer and speak to an NPC in Ul'dah to obtain the Yo-kai Watch, then complete FATEs in specified zones to earn medals that are exchanged for minions and, subsequently, themed weapons for jobs released up to Shadowbringers (no rewards exist for Sage, Reaper, Viper or Pictomancer). Collecting every reward requires 49 standard Yo-kai Medals and 165 Legendary Medals, with costs rising after each purchase; free trial users can join in, though full completion needs access to Stormblood content. The only addition since the event last ran is a set of new "wibbly-wobbly" furnishing items.
In short
- FFXIV's Yo-kai Watch event returns 4 August to 5 October 2026.
- Players earn minions and weapon glamours via FATE grinding.
- Requires 49 Yo-kai Medals and 165 Legendary Medals for full rewards.
Explained simply
Final Fantasy XIV is an online role-playing game in which players explore a fantasy world, take on jobs and complete quests and group activities. The Gold Saucer is an in-game amusement park, while FATEs are timed battles and tasks that appear in different zones.
Yo-kai Watch is a Japanese game and animation franchise featuring supernatural creatures called Yo-kai. In this event, players collect themed minions and weapon appearances, which change how a character’s weapons look without changing their abilities.
The event brings together two games and gives players optional collectibles to pursue while playing. Its rewards cover jobs introduced up to the Shadowbringers expansion, and some require access to later game content.
