Ready to race like a runner bean? Here's how to start the FFXIV Fall Guys event in the 6.51 patch. The limited-time event isn't just something you can sign up and play through the Duty Finder. Instead, you'll need to talk the talk before you're able to run the walkway. Get those helmets ready: it's a long way down.

In the works for a good long while now, the Fall Guys event in Final Fantasy XIV comes shortly after the reverse: a FFXIV-themed Battle Pass in the popular bouncy battle royale where bean-themed versions of Square Enix's lovable characters were offered up as timely rewards. Remember Haurchefant? He's back! In bean form. Not really, but you get the idea.

For even more FFXIV 6.51 guides, we're working hard to bring you details on how to get the Fall Guys minions, the new Statice Wings and Parasol fashion accessories, and the new 6.51 braid hairstyle. And if you're wondering what the Aloalo Manuscripts are for, we've got you covered.

There, speak to Lewena in Entrance Square. You'll see her sitting by one of the tables. Grab the Just Crowning Around quest from her, head to Wy the Blunderville Gatekeeper in Wonder Square, and you'll be well on your way.

In Blunderville, head over to the counter to complete the quest and then to the Blundeville Registrar to the right to sign up to a FFXIV Fall Guys match.

How often are FFXIV Fall Guys matches?

A Fall Guys show in Final Fantasy XIV begins either when 24 players have been matched together, or after a set period since the first person entered the queue.

You can skip the wait entirely by forming a 24-person alliance and registering together. Light and full parties can also register together, but you'll still have to wait for the show to full up to 24 players to trigger.

How to leave the FFXIV Fall Guys Blunderville area

To head back to the Gold Saucer without simply teleporting back and wasting Gil, just walk to the side opposite the counters. Speak to the Blunderville Gatekeeper to return to Wonder Square.

How to unlock the Gold Saucer in FFXIV

If you're joining the game for the Fall Guys event, you'll need to play through the main story quests up to the level 15 quest that sees you finally leave your starting city.

At that point, you can unlock the Gold Saucer by completing the It Could Happen to You from the Well-heeled Youth in Ul'Dah around the X:9.6, Y:9.0 coordinates.
