As the community may be aware, COVID-19 (also known as “novel coronavirus”) is spreading within the East Asia region. Taking into consideration the current situation within the region, sadly SQUARE ENIX has decided to cancel the PAX East attendance of staff who would be travelling from the Japan offices. This difficult decision was based on our desire to prevent any potential spread of the virus and to prioritize the health and safety of our team and our fans.
Since our team will not be in attendance, we are planning to scale down on our planned activities for FINAL FANTASY XIV:
Square Enix will still host the FINAL FANTASY XIV booth on the show floor (#15010), and we hope you’ll take part and enjoy the Ruby Weapon battle challenge, the New Player Experience, and photo opportunities.
The competition has been fierce, but at last, we have declared the winners of the Feast Season Fourteen!
Top ranking players will receive special rewards, so check out the rankings and see who clawed their way to the head of the pack!(*)
Players who finish at bronze or higher can claim rewards by speaking with the Feast Quartermaster at Wolves’ Den Pier (X:4.9 Y:5.8).
* The rewards for Season Fourteen differ from previous Feasts. Read on for details.
View the results for Season Fourteen.
