The Rising is the name given to the anniversary of the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It is usually a grand affair, featuring unique artwork for the 'countdown to the Anniversary', words of thanks from the Developers, and usually several stories entitled Tales from the Calamity. There is also the Eorzean Census and a very long Anniversary Broadcast, usually involving a challenge for one of the developers to do in-game for all to see.

Story The heavens are ablaze with fireworks as Eorzea celebrates the Moonfire Faire. With the townsfolk captivated by majestic colors sweeping across the skies, Adventurers' Guild chaperones set off a special set of fireworks to mark another momentous occasion: the Rising. In memory of those lost to the Calamity, and with hopes for a better tomorrow, the night sky alights with flowers of flame─a beauty to behold the realm over. Furthermore, rumor has it that this dazzling display has inspired a song of remembrance from a certain individual.
