With a year after the second expansion Stormblood behind them, Warriors of Light across the globe are looking forward to the announcement of the next expansion to Final Fantasy XIV at the Final Fantasy Fan Festival 2018. The first event will be held at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas from November 16 – 17 (Friday-Saturday). Subsequent Fan Festivals will take place in Paris (February 2019) and will finish in Tokyo (March 2019).

Here’s what we know from the Lodestone:
