As soon as cruelly stolen away, FF14’s ultra-cute otter backpack is lastly returning for good

The FF14 Make It Rain Marketing campaign is again for 2026 very quickly, and with it comes essentially the most anticipated returning face to the MMORPG since Zero. When Last Fantasy 14 patch 7.5 landed on April 28, some gamers discovered an unannounced shock of their inventories within the type of an extremely cute otter backpack. Sadly, it wasn’t presupposed to be there, and Sq. Enix insisted everybody who bought one needed to put their presents again within the field. Now, the Senor Otter Pack is lastly prepared to return again, and for good this time.

The Last Fantasy 14 developer chalked the mix-up to an accident. When the Senor Otter Pack was added to the sport in patch 7.5, it was erroneously given the identical inside merchandise ID as one other style accent, the Black Embroidered Parasol. This meant anybody who already had entry to that additionally discovered themselves with an otter backpack of their stock. A hotfix corrected this error, which stripped away the prize. “We hope you’ll purchase the Senor Otter Pack once more when it’s launched by means of the supposed technique,” Artistic Studio 3 wrote.

Fortunately, we’ve not needed to wait lengthy for that ‘supposed technique’ to reach. The brand new Make It Rain 2026 occasion begins on Friday Could 29, and runs for simply shy of 4 weeks. Along with the backpack style accent, you may as well get a full-fledged Senor Otter minion (full with bow tie and high hat). There are additionally a number of wall-mounted and tabletop posters promoting the festivities.

Make It Rain is a celebration of the Manderville Gold Saucer, and which means a 50% enhance to all Gold Saucer Factors earned throughout the occasion. I am going to take any excuse to dip in, and if you have not checked the rewards there shortly, it is price a glance, as fairly a couple of prizes have been added to the MGP trade-in store over the previous yr. The promotional art work (seen above) additionally options each Hien and Yugiri, and as a Ninja essential I am particularly hopeful which means we’ll get to spend some long-deserved time with the shadow-skulking specialist.

Yoshida teased throughout the preliminary 7.5 reveal in Stay Letter 91 that extra Gold Saucer “multiplayer content material” is being developed for some level on this patch cycle (which is predicted to wrap up with patch 7.56 on September 8). It is doable that this might arrive as a part of the Make It Rain festivities, however I would not anticipate it. The precise nature of it’s nonetheless being saved below wraps in the meanwhile, so I am eyeing up some form of crossover, whether or not with an previous FF sport or one other property within the vein of the Fall Guys occasion.
