Collaboration

Collaboration, often shortened to collab in gaming lexicon, is a recurring element within the Final Fantasy series. It involves Final Fantasy with another property of Square Enix or a franchise of another company sharing items, clothes, etc with each other through events or downloadable content.

A collaboration whose source story intermixes with that of its host is often called a crossover.

Final Fantasy XIV
A crossover equipment with the Japanese tokusatsu TV franchise, the collaboration will bring, including the armor of the four main Makai Knights from the TV show, the outfits of two Makai Priests, and three Madou horses as mounts. Each armor and outfit will include head, torso, gloves, and legs. Armor and outfits will be granted as prizes in the Gold Saucer while the mounts will be obtained through in-game achievements. The crossover has been implemented in order to celebrate the launch in Japan of the new Garo series .
