Final Fantasy XIV will be playable at PAX Australia 2024
While Square Enix have been very vocal about the events coming to PAX Australia around Final Fantasy XIV, the one element that they had not confirmed until now was if the game would be playable, short answer it is.
In addition to the event ahead of the show with Naoki Yoshida and the panel during the show featuring Natsuko Ishikawa a Senior Story Designer and Saki Takayanagi a Quest Designer, the game will be playable.
In fact the game will once again offer a challenge to players and more.
