10 months ago 151

Today saw Square Enix announce the stage show schedule for the upcoming Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival which takes place in Los Angeles.

The 2023 Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival is well-known for being the time where Square Enix announces news of the next big expansion coming to the game.

Now thanks to news by producer and director Naoki Yoshida in a recent Lodestone post, we now have the full schedule to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival Broadcast Times

The first keynote is expected to go live at 10:00am PDT/1:00 p.m. EDT/6:00 p.m. BST/7:00 p.m CEST on July 28. This is usually when the upcoming expansion is first announced.

For fans of FF14, this cannot be missed considering details of the next main expansion are very minimal. With the latest expansion, Endwalker, releasing back in December 2021, it has definitely been a long time coming.

Additionally, there will be a Letter From the Producer broadcast airing at 10:00am PDT on July 29. This will give fans information on the next major update, otherwise known as version 6.5.
