Expo Hall Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (PDT)

The Square Enix booth will be open throughout the entire show, so be sure to stop by!

Creating FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers - Narrative and Visual Insights

The newly released third expansion for FINAL FANTASY XIV, Shadowbringers, introduced players to a whole new world─quite literally─as they ventured through the most compelling chapter in the MMO’s story yet. Join Art Team Lead Takeo Suzuki and Main Scenario Writer Natsuko Ishikawa as they look back at how the unforgettable setting and narrative of Shadowbringers came to be.



No Warrior of Darkness will want to miss this glimpse behind the scenes, but those who have not yet taken up the mantle of shadow be warned: spoilers abound!



Panel attendees will also receive a mini double-sided poster!

Where to Watch

Signing Sessions featuring Suzuki and Ishikawa

We’ll also be hosting two signing sessions featuring Suzuki and Ishikawa on Sunday at the Seattle Sheraton. Tickets required to attend a session will be distributed to attendees in line for the Titania battle challenge on Friday and Saturday, and to those attending the panel on Sunday.

* Please note that the tickets required to attend will be limited and are not guaranteed.

New Player Experience Area

Have you been itching to introduce friends to FFXIV? Then our New Player Experience area is perfect for them! We’ll introduce attendees to a handful of jobs at the event and prepare them for a battle against Ifrit in the Bowl of Embers! Should the attendees defeat the Lord of the Inferno, they’ll earn themselves a FREE copy of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition for PC!

Titania Battle Challenge

Attendees that emerge victorious against Titania, ruler of the pixies, will receive an “I BEAT TITANIA” t-shirt! Be forewarned, the battle will be fierce!

To ensure that a greater number of adventurers have a chance to experience the challenge, attendees will be limited to one t-shirt reward during the event. Attendees who defeat Titania are welcome to challenge the fight again alongside their friends but they will not earn an additional t-shirt.

* Available while supplies last, sizes not guaranteed.

Giveaways

We’ll also be bringing back the popular dark knight foam swords and giving them away at the booth, so be sure to grab one to show off your love for the Warrior of Darkness!

* Available while supplies last.



Also, all PAX West attendees will be able to grab an FFXIV-themed lanyard for their badge!
