Square Enix will be hosting a special announcement showcase on 5th February 2021 for its grand online MMO Final Fantasy XIV, where a number of "cool things" will be shown. The broadcast will include a live interpretation from Japanese to English, meaning European and US players will be able to follow along. The live stream will start at 1:30am GMT/ 5:30pm PT/ 8:30pm ET.
Final Fantasy XIV fans speculate this event will play host to the announcement of the game's next major expansion, which would have originally taken place during a Fan Fest this month. That was obviously cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. There's also a chance we'll learn of the PlayStation 5 enhancements, which are said to include faster loads and better performance on the current-gen console.
What do you hope to see from Square Enix? Something else besides a new expansion and PS5 upgrades? Share your hopes in the comments below.

Give me some XVI news instead!
Nice, it’ll be the next expansion. Still working my way through the content leading up to Heavensward so I’m a fair bit behind!
One day I will get back into this game man, I hear it's really good. But I already have a backlog of stuff to finish and I know you need a good 2 months of daily play to make any kind of dent into this story.
@Voltan I think there's more than enough room for both to have a news cycle early next year. They're completely different development teams, don't forget.
@LiamCroft actually I believe the teams behind XIV and XVI aren't "completely different"... or at least there are people on the XVI team who used to be on the XIV team;)
Anyways - there's still another one working on 7 part 2 and I want news on that as well lol
I'll get back into this one day, maybe on PS5. Still haven't played Stormblood or Shadowbringers.
looks an incredible game but due to network constrains I have to leave it on the back burner.
Who cares of MMO, give us FFXVI.
I wouldn't mind a nice enhancement of the overall game. Maybe a less cartoonish, more FFXV.......Especially if there are plans for ps5.
@djlard According to the last report of subs, at least 13 million people
I know this is a PlayStation website but it would be nice if Square announced FFXIV was also coming to the Xbox consoles with cross play in tow.
@RadioHedgeFund That was already announced a year ago.
@LiamCroft : They are both from Creative Business Unit III, so same team working on FFXIV and FFXVI. That's why my expectations are pretty high for FFXVI.
They prolly will announce the next expansion in Feb. , they had to cancel all FanFests where they normally wouldve announced it.
@Athrum yeah... but what those other milions waiting for another story?
I'm hoping for a potential crossover between FF16 and 14 for obvious reasons...
@WizzNL Where can I find the full size of your profile pic/avatar? It's so cute!
@KidBoruto : Cant remember tbh, but i found it on twitter again:
