With so many players consistently jumping onto the Final Fantasy XIV servers, you can expect to find a few issues trying to jump online occasionally. Some of these errors are expected, especially right before an update. Right now, if you’re attempting to jump into the game, you might encounter a handful of problems, especially right before a major expansion or patch update. This guide covers if the Final Fantasy XIV servers are down and how to check the server status.
How to check the Final Fantasy XIV server status
If you’re having trouble attempting to connect to the game, you want to jump on over to the Final Fantasy XIV website and check out the maintenance section. It lists all the maintenance cycles that have happened and what is happening right now. This is the best spot to check out if you know your internet connection is fine and you can play other online games. For the 6.2 update, we can expect the servers to come back online around 3 AM PT. It’s roughly an 8-hour downtime until the servers will return.
On the same page, you’ll be able to see the status of any of the worlds in Final Fantasy XIV. It will be under the ‘status’ tab. Some of the worlds in Final Fantasy XIV are often inaccessible, forcing a small portion of the game’s players to log in. There will be a date and a list of all the worlds being affected by the problems. You can always check to see if yours are on that list.
If the Final Fantasy XIV servers are still not working for you, outside of the patching period, and the servers are reasonable, you can always check the Square-Enix support website for Final Fantasy XIV. In addition, you can contact any support staff to notify them about your issue or see if there’s a problem with your current game build.
If you’re still having trouble connecting to Final Fantasy XIV, you may want to reset your router and restart your PC or console. The problem might be on your side, and it could only require a simple flick of a switch to bring everything back up.
