Final Fantasy 14 is hinting at a major 12th anniversary announcement set for August 27, 12 AM PT. This upcoming announcement likely includes the dates for the next Fan Festival. Players won’t have to wait much longer to discover when they can find out about the next expansion for Final Fantasy 14.
As an avid fan, I eagerly anticipate the return of FanFest, also known simply as FanFest, a touring convention dedicated to the fantastic world of Final Fantasy 14. This bi-annual event serves as a platform for major announcements regarding new expansions and other exciting updates for this critically-adored MMORPG. The most recent circuit took place in 2023 and 2024, where we were treated to the announcement of the Final Fantasy 14 Xbox port and the upcoming Dawntrail expansion. With no concrete dates shared for 2025, fellow gamers and I are on pins and needles, eagerly waiting for news about the next FanFest.
When Will Final Fantasy 14 Announce FanFest Dates?
- August 27 at 12 AM PT/3 AM ET.
It appears that Final Fantasy 14 is all set to disclose the timing of its upcoming FanFest events soon. An official announcement has been lined up on the Final Fantasy 14 YouTube channel for August 27 at 12 AM PT, under the title “A Celebratory Message on Final Fantasy 14‘s 12th Anniversary.” Although Final Fantasy 14 hasn’t been forthcoming about the specifics of what will be unveiled in this announcement, it’s highly likely to include information about the venues and dates for the next Fan Festival conventions, which may begin as early as this year and extend into 2026.
Besides the confirmed Final FanFest dates, there might be additional significant revelations in this broadcast as well. Fans could find out when the next Letter from the Producer LIVE event will occur, providing players with a sneak peek at Patch 7.4. There’s also a possibility of a hint for the anticipated Port of Final Fantasy 14 on Switch 2, but that may be something saved for FanFest itself, if it is indeed occurring.
Generally, the FanFest events occur at three locations: Las Vegas, one in Japan, and one in Europe. Usually, these tours kick off between October and November, followed by conventions held in December or January, then February or March. However, the sequence might shift slightly or even experience a delay, as the announcement for this year’s events has come later than typical.
Significantly, this news follows a period of excitement and controversy due to the closure of Mare Synchronos, a widely loved fan-created mod that enabled players to exchange texture loadouts. Here’s hoping that fans disappointed by the loss of this external tool can still anticipate the upcoming major announcements with positivity.
