What can we expect?

The news of the events was shared during the 73rd Letter from the Producer LIVE stream (as part of the 8th 14th-hour broadcast) during which FFXIV Online Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida revealed the game now has more than 27 million registered players across the world.

The FFXIV Fan Festivals will mark the first time in recent years that Final Fantasy fans will be able to gather in person at a live event, as previous ones have been held digitally. Each show will feature live guest appearances from the developers and voice actors as well as some live music concerts.

That’s all we know about the events for now, but until then, check out the teaser trailer for all three events below:
