Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn turned 12 years old this week—pause while I crumble into dust. Alongside a sweet ol' video message from director and producer Naoki Yoshida came the news I and many others have been waiting for: dates and locations for this expansion's Fan Festivals.
There are two reasons these dates are important. The first is, of course, getting to go and celebrate the game, potentially meet up with your guildmates, all that fuzzy and heartwarming stuff. But they're also excellent yardsticks for figuring out when we can probably expect the next expansion to arrive. Square Enix is nothing if not predictable. There are always three Fan Fests. There are always five major patches. There are always two new jobs. You get the idea.
