Square Enix to Revoke Accidental Final Fantasy 14 Otter Backpack After ID Mix-Up

Square Enix plans a hotfix to remove the bugged accessory before its official release.

Overview

  • Following Patch 7.5, some players discovered the unreleased Senor Otter Pack unlocked if they already had the Black Embroidered Parasol.
  • In a Lodestone notice, Square Enix said a data error gave the otter pack the same internal ID as the parasol, which let parasol owners use the backpack.
  • The studio said an upcoming hotfix will correct the ID and remove access, and the pack remains usable until that update goes live.
  • Square Enix described the otter pack as a future content reward, and coverage speculated it could tie to a limited-time event such as Make It Rain.
  • GamesRadar reported market board prices for the parasol spiking from about 100,000 gil to several million on some servers as players try to unlock the bugged item.
