Everything shown at today’s Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest keynote

There’s little doubt that Square Enix has loved making their MMORPG of their classic RPG. While previous attempts at such a thing didn’t work out, their fourteenth mainline game worked beautifully. They could weave the character styles and vast world together into something gamers would want to play and enjoy. But you might have thought that with Endwalker, everything was truly at an end. But that wasn’t the case at all. During the recent fan festival in Las Vegas, the team dropped numerous announcements, including that Final Fantasy XIVDawntrail was coming and it would bring plenty with it.

Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida revealed in an interview at the game’s recent Fanfest that he wanted to bring the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster games to the MMORPG, making them playable in-game, according to GamesRadar. Yoshida revealed that the studio had experimented with trying to get old Final Fantasy games running inside Final Fantasy 14, and potentially making them playable at the Gold Saucer.

This weekend, the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival kicked off, bringing about fifteen thousand fans to Las Vegas to get the latest news, hang out with fellow fans, and do stuff (like wait in lines). The initial keynote, given by director and lead producer Naoki Yoshida, was the most emphasized event of the weekend, and literally nothing else opened up until it was wrapped up—so fans knew they were in for something , mostly likely a new expansion. And it was! 

In a bit of a watershed moment, Square Enix’s enduring MMORPG, Final Fantasy 14 is heading to Xbox consoles.

The Pixel Remaster series brought Final Fantasy classics to Steam with a modern rework and an updated look, but the Final Fantasy 14 team wants to add another way for players to go back to the series' roots. If you’ve ever wanted to play a Final Fantasy inside of your Final Fantasy, Yoshida’s got your back—maybe.

If you've ever wanted to watch your favorite Final Fantasy 14 characters in other mediums, like say, an anime, the team is open to the idea if the right offer comes along.

Have you ever wanted a Final Fantasy game in your Final Fantasy game? It’s not impossible—but it’s going to be a technical feat. 

In a bit of a watershed moment, Square Enix’s enduring MMORPG, Final Fantasy 14 is heading to Xbox consoles.

Final Fantasy XIV’s next expansion, ‘Dawntrail’, has been announced during a Fan Fest event in Las Vegas.

Square Enix hosted its Fan Fest for Final Fantasy XIV today, spotlighting all the updates coming to its massive MMORPG. Among the announcements of an expansion and new platform being in the mix, one of the biggest rounds of applause came for something that seems a little less grandiose, at least to less XIV-familiar folks: two dyes per gear piece.

Today, Square Enix announced that its successful MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, is on its way to Xbox consoles after years of being a PlayStation console exclusive. And to hear the CEO of Square Enix tell it, it sounds like Xbox has successfully ensured that even more Square Enix games will end up on its consoles in the coming years.

The history of MMORPGs on consoles isn’t as robust or successful as you think. Typically, the consoles couldn’t handle them, or players just preferred to have them on PC where they knew the machines and internet connections would work better. One of the exceptions to that rule was Final Fantasy XIV. The MMORPG was Square Enix’s second chance to prove they could do an MMO right, and they hit it out of the ballpark. It had numerous expansions and wowed critics and gamers alike. The problem was that it was a bit restricted on where you could pay it. Until now, that is.
