FFXI The Doll Festival Event Returns in February 2025

Hinamatsuri is being celebrated in Final Fantasy XI again, and the 2025 The Doll Festival reward is the same one from the 2024 version of the FFXI event. Things kick off on February 28, 2025. They’ll last over the actual Hinamatsuri festival, which happens on March 3, 2025. 

The event works much like it has during past iterations. You’ll be able to visit Moogles in six spots, and they’ll appear alongside doll displays for the event. If you talk to them, you can get items like the Set of Festival Dolls furnishing you can place in your home. This is the only time you can get this item.

Here’s where those Moogles are:

• Bastok Markets (G-8)
• Bastok Mines (I-9)
• Northern San d’Oria (D-8)
• Southern San d’Oria (J-9)
• Windurst Waters (F-5)
• Windurst Woods (K-10)
  

This isn’t the only Final Fantasy MMO celebrating the Japanese holiday. It’s happening in FFXIV too. However, that game isn’t rerunning the event and same old reward. In 2025, the bonus in that game is a princely suit of armor, and past items will be available in-game or via the online store.

Final Fantasy XI is available for the PC. The Doll Festival event will run in FFXI this year until March 20, 2024.
