Final Fantasy 14 has done many cross-promotions—from Yo-Kai Watch to Fall Guys and many more. Seemingly unconventional crossovers are not off the table as proven by the Fall Guys crossover.
Naoki Yoshida is a huge Blizzard fan and one of his dream collaborations would be with the Diablo franchise. Yoshida added that a collaboration is tricky due to Diablo's dark themes and graphic depictions.

Diablo has quite, like, I would say hardcore graphics outlook in terms of the world," he said. «So you know, you see spikes here and there. In terms of the ratings, it might be a bit difficult. And of course, on the other hand, we don't really want to disappoint fans of the franchise as well. So yeah, it's a tricky one.
So of course, if we go for a softer version of Diablo in of course, maybe that's not what people want as well.
Blizzard themselves do not seem to shy away from unconventional crossovers with Diablo 4, even though the cross-promotion for Call of Duty was done in-house at Activision Blizzard, with Lilith and Inarius becoming playable operators in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
