Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival 2023 is upon us, bringing players from around the world to the hot desert of Las Vegas to celebrate the critically acclaimed MMORPG. While we know theschedule of events, what are you hoping to see announced at Fan Fest this weekend?
We know we'll hear from producer Naoki Yoshida multiple times, with the Keynote kicking off the festivities at 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern. The next Letter from the Producer LIVE will be taking place during Fan Festival on Saturday, giving us more information about Patch 6.5, so that's pretty well set in stone as well. This is the first Fan Festival to happen in person in Vegas since the days of the Covid-19 pandemic, so it's a pretty exciting weekend for fans of the MMORPG.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the anticipated expansion announcement. While I still have some catching up to do myself (and it's not helped that I just started a brand new playthrough to build up the Tanking skills I need from the ground up), it's always exciting to see where the games we all love go from the heights they've achieved before. Will the trailer song be as epic as Endwalker's Footfalls? Will we see new classes announced during the Keynote, and if so, will either Yoshi-P or the President of Square Enix pull off their most epic cosplays again?
Speaking of cosplay, I'm looking forward to seeing the Las Vegas Convention Center full of the denizens of Eorzea. The last Fan Festival I attended was in2018 when Shadowbringers was announced, and the cosplay was some of the best I've ever seen in this city. And we host a fair amount of gaming events, from the Evolution Championship Series to the homegrown LVL Up Expo.
