Join Us for a Q&A Panel at PAX East 2023

We have a lot of excitement planned for the road to FFXIV’s 10th anniversary, and today, we’re excited to announce that Producer & Director Naoki Yoshida will be hosting a Q&A panel at PAX East focused on the journey so far. We’ll be gathering questions before the show, so now is your chance to pose the burning question you always wanted to ask about the adventures we’ve shared along the way.

Attendees will also have the chance to attend a signing session with both Naoki Yoshida and Michael-Christopher Koji Fox following the panel. There will also be a FINAL FANTASY XVI panel at the show as well!
