Final Fantasy 14 gives Fall Guys official MMO lore, and it's deeply cursed
The Final Fantasy 14 team has gone the extra mile to make sure the recent Fall Guys collaboration makes sense in the world of Eorzea, which is a lovely touch until you realize some of the unhinged lore the MMO now has as a result.
After you head to Final Fantasy 14’s spin on the Gold Saucer to talk to the necessary people to gain access to the Fall Guys-style mini-games, you’ll enter a suitable vibrant room with familiar music. You’re then free to walk up to someone – called the Beankeep – behind the desk to finish an introductory quest. There are several things you can ask them for the sake of small talk, including what the deal is with those strange creatures who are wandering around.
In reply, they explain that they were found wandering about the Gold Saucer and that they’re unsure of the Beans’ origin, though it doesn’t influence how taken they are with them. That said, they do lightly suggest they could be Voidsent, Seedkin, or something else entirely.
If you need a quick refresher, Voidsent are beings of the void that have been starved of their lifeforce whereas Seedkins are basically angry sentient flora. Two things that are morbidly at odds with the Beans’ adorable appearance, then.
That’s not all the Final Fantasy 14 team has done to make Fall Guys Eorzea ready, though. As you can see with the fetching Fall Guys-inspired headgear, the writing has been changed to Eorzean.
The efforts certainly haven’t gone unnoticed by the community either.
