FFXIV Gong Cha Event Delayed in Some Countries

Square Enix announced that the Final Fantasy XIV Gong Cha event, which involves a Porxie King FFXIV mount, will be delayed in some countries. While it was supposed to kick off on July 17, 2024, it now won’t start in Belgium, France, and Portugal until August 14, 2024.

Square Enix brought this up on social media and offered an explanation. In those three countries, expected deliveries didn’t arrive. As such, the event involving special drinks and codes for a mount, didn’t arrive. The company didn’t note if there will be any sort of special compensation or extended event dates as a result. As a reminder, the collaboration was supposed to end in all regions on August 28, 2024. 

For those in other regions, they may encounter issues when trying to take part in the FFXIV Gong Cha event as well. People are reporting the bubble tea restaurant is selling out of items. Our Kazuma Hashimoto noted both the codes and bubble tea keychains with mascot characters on them are selling out. 

Final Fantasy XIV is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the FFXIV Gong Cha promotion is running in most regions until August 28, 2024. It is unknown if the delay in Belgium, France, and Portugal will result in the campaign running longer in those countries.
