On Twitter,Final Fantasy 14has confirmed the return of the highly requested and sought-after hairstyle, the Modern Aesthetics - Rainmaker, for Patch 5.5.Unrelated to the Japanese wrestler Okada, the Rainmaker is coveted among players due to its rarity, appearing twice in timed-exclusive Make It Rain events in 2017 and 2018.
The hairstyle has not appeared in either the following 2019 and 2020 events, much to the annoyance of fans who missed out or didn’t play the game during that time. After many fan requests, it seems Square is answering player’s demands, allowing players to purchase the coveted hairstyle with their hard-earned MGP.
Patch 5.5 will also allow players to purchase golden variants of rideable mounts with gil, thein-game currency ofFinal Fantasy 14. This gives players who may have a bit too much money on hand and on their retainers to flaunt their wealth or purchase that much-needed Golden Namazu mount. There will also be an Easter-themed Hatching-tide event on April 14th, giving players the chance to obtain a chicken-themed outfit.
Final Fantasy 14is out now on PC and PS4, with a beta launching on PS5 on April 13.
