Ultimate Fight Final Fantasy XIV (アルティメットファイトファイナルファンタジーXIV, Arutimetto Faito Fainaru Fantajī XIV?) is a parody trailer for Final Fantasy XIV, released on April 25, 2015 on Square Enix's official Youtube channel of the game. It was created by Kazutoyo Maehiro, the scenario writer of the game.^[1]

Trivia[]

• The gameplay appears to be very similar to Capcom's Street Fighter IV with user interfaces and the cutscenes for special attacks, while its title is a reference to SNK Playmore's King of Fighters, from the eclipsed sun's reminiscence to that of the Kusanagi Clan seal, to the series current numeration order in Roman.
• The victory pose of Minfilia's Final Fantasy Brave Exvius appearance is based on the one she does in this trailer.
