Square Enix announced new events for the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival. The new activities include a video contest, an art contest and a cosplay stage. The Fan Festival will take place in Las Vegas on July 28-29, 2023.
For the first time in the event’s history, the 2023 Fan Festival will feature a video contest. Players are encouraged to submit videos that show off their preferred Job in the best possible light. The goal is to try and convince other players to switch to your choice. To enter, players must upload their short as an unlisted YouTube video.
The Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival art contest has the theme of Memories of Final Fantasy XIV. Submissions can be illustrations, unaltered screenshots, altered screenshots or handcrafted works.
