Crystalline Conflict was a new addition to the game for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, and took over the role of the primary PvP game mode. A 5v5 competitive format, Crystalline Conflict sees players take part in a tug-of-war style mode that rewards both tactical play and individual skill.

For the Crystalline Conflict Regional Championship 2023, teams from North America, Europe/Oceania, and Japan will compete in regional brackets before heading towards a final bracket. The tournament will begin with Preliminaries and Quarterfinals, which will be held online. Teams that emerge victorious in the Quarterfinals will be invited to their local Fan Festival to take part in the Finals to decide the regional champion!

Apart from the cash prize (which will divided equally between participants), there will also be a trophy, in-game achievement, and in-game Title up for grabs.

Overall, this move is bringing a serious competitive format to the premier PvP mode in FFXIV. With a huge rulebook and lots of entry requirements, this looks to be a pretty serious tournament. So sign up, grab your five best PvPers, and try to take home the gold in this PvP event!
