FFXIV Maintenance: How Long Are Final Fantasy Servers Down?

New FFXIV Maintenance is being performed today following a late announcement by Square Enix.

Gamers have been warned that the North America Data Centers are undergoing emergency downtime and will not be available to access for the rest of the evening.

The good news is that this should solve a series of issues that have been causing problems for gamers in the region.

However, it also means that FFXIV fans will have to find something else to do while they wait for the current server status to change.

How Long are FFXIV Servers Down?

Square Enix has confirmed that FFXIV maintenance is scheduled to begin at 9pm PT on Sunday, July 24, and continue until the early morning of Monday, July 25. The official end time for today’s FFXIV downtime has been set for 3am PT, but they also warn that completion time is subject to change.

This means that downtime could be extended for Final Fantasy 14 if the team needs it. The Home World Transfer Service and The Data Center Travel System will be suspended 30 minutes before maintenance begins and will be unavailable until maintenance has ended.

It should also be noted that certain features in the FFXIV Companion app will be unavailable when using characters on these Worlds until maintenance has ended, with an official message from Square Enix stating:

“We will address an issue where server equipment has been affecting the entire North America data centre and will have to replace server equipment. During this period, North America Data Center will be unavailable.”

All Worlds under the North America Data Center will be affected, meaning gamers will have to wait until today’s FFXIV maintenance has been completed before they can go back to completing quests and buying houses. Today’s maintenance has been posted under the emergency bracket, meaning fans didn’t get a lot of notice before it started.

No further server disruption is expected this week unless more issues are encountered in the North American Worlds, or others found globally. FFXIV is currently available to play on Steam, PS4 and PS5 consoles, with no word on whether it will ever arrive on the Xbox platform.
