FATEs are dynamic scenarios, often battles that appear around the Eorzea. FATEs involve boss battles, escort missions and other events.

To join a FATE, simply enter the FATE radius (blue circle) on your mini map and attempt to complete the FATE objectives. There are no limits to the number of players that can participate in a FATE at a time. If the player's level is too high, they will be asked to level sync down. FATEs can be completed by finishing the on-screen objectives within the time limit.

Different FATEs have different requirements. There are 5 main types of FATEs as following.
