In-personFinal Fantasy XIVFan Festivals were on hold, but Square Enixhas triumphantly announcedthat they’re back on as of 2023.
By way of a new YouTube video, the publisher is ready to bring back the convention series to in-person events, starting with a kickoff in Las Vegas, Nevada (a prior Fan Fest site in the US) in July of 2023. Several months later the team will move to London in October of that same year, followed by a concluding Fan Fest in “early 2024” in Japan.
For those of you who aren’t aware of Fan Fest, it’sa two-day celebration ofFinal Fantasy XIV, complete with merch to buy, hands-on events and challenges (some of which are unique to the convention), meet and greets, and even full-on concerts and performances. Typically, we also get content teases and reveals, including new jobs and features of upcoming updates and whatever future expansion is in store at the time.
If you’re remotely a fan ofFinal Fantasy XIV, I highly recommend attending. Given the cooperative nature of the game itself, and the positive reputation of the fanbase, it’s a great way to meet people or just enjoy the game on your own.
