Square Enix have announced that the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival, which is an event celebrating all things FF14, will be back to an in-person event, with two taking place in 2023 and one in 2024.

While there isn’t one for Australia or New Zealand, there are two in English speaking countries and then one in the birthplace of the series, Japan. Here are the dates and locations, at least for the ones locked in:

• North America - Las Vegas, Nevada – Las Vegas Convention Center

  • 28th July – 29th July 2023

• Europe – London, United Kingdom – The ExCel Centre

  • 21st October – 22nd October 2023

• Japan – Venue TBD

  • Early 2024

The company has been running these events since 2014 and only every two years or so, but of course due to Covid, the last event was an all digital offering. Tickets are not yet available, but when they are and the full schedule for all the events will be up on the official site for the event.

Of course, for local players PAX Australia and other similar events are likely the best chance to experience the game, but if those are happening in 2023, only time will tell.
