Square Enix have proudly announced that in-person Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festivals are back in 2023. Hooray!


As the new YouTube video suggests, the company is getting ready to bring back the convention series to in-person events, starting with a kickoff in Las Vegas, Nevada in July 2023. A couple of months later, we’ll be heading to London in October 2023, followed by a concluding Fan Fest in “early 2024” in Japan.


In case you don’t know what a Fan Fest is, it’s basically a two-day celebration of Final Fantasy XIV, complete with meet and greets, merch to buy, challenges, hands-on events, and even full-on concerts and performances. The events also content teases and reveals, including new jobs and features of upcoming updates and whatever future expansion has in store for us at the time.

If you love Final Fantasy XIV, this is a great opportunity you don’t want to miss! And if you didn’t give this amazing MMO a try, now is the right time to jump in.
