Final Fantasy 14’s 9th 14-Hour Broadcast Date
Thelast 14-Hour Broadcast forFinal Fantasy 14technically took place in October 2022, meaning there was no such event during 2023. This was likely becauseFinal Fantasy 14brought back its Fan Festival last year, and was hard at work preparingDawntrailfor its summer 2024 release.
While fans can expect all sorts of entertaining panels to celebrate the end ofFinal Fantasy 14’s 10-year anniversary, its proximity toDawntrail’s release means the 14-Hour Broadcast will probably contain some new announcements. IfFinal Fantasy 14holds a Live Letter from the Producer during the event, players could learn more about the changes coming to each job, see a launch trailer, or even get to download a benchmark featuring the new graphical update. IfDawntraildoesn’t have a release date by then, it almost certainly will get one during the broadcast.
Final Fantasy 14fans will have plenty of other things to look forward to in the month leading up to the 14-Hour Broadcast.Square Enix is revealing : Dawntrailat PAX Easton March 23, and theFinal Fantasy 16crossover event will be taking place in early April as well.
