Greetings everyone,

As stated on the FINAL FANTASY XI official site, please note that the fan gathering has been cancelled.

Details below:

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 PAX attendees and our fellow exhibitors.

As an extra precaution regarding the safety of our guests, we are planning to scale down on our planned activities outside of the show floor. As such, we regret to inform you that we will be canceling the Fan Gathering 2020 at PAX East.

We had originally planned to have Producer Akihiko Matsui and Director Yoji Fujito host a presentation at the event. However, we will be adjusting our plan to deliver this information in a different form. We will follow up with more details in the future.

We thank you for your understanding.

Sad news indeed, was truly looking forward to it.

Oh no I was excited

Basically, I was thinking if this virus gets all sorted out and figured out how it can be resolved, would this mean or could this still result finally having into the future of more Fan XI Festival's, maybe even some on the Twitchcon ones of the season even, not to sound like a "TIME MachINE" [granted it be nice to ride in one -Ha~Ha-] uh...
Yeah so do you feel this will still be a likely thing of an event you might be able to still do whether it's in a farther future or nearer one of the years ahead!?

I am just curious!, Let me and us of the community know, thanks!!

Let us turn our attention to Mireu, the un-killable Dragon.

It's very sad that the gathering is cancelled, but the reasoning is very understandable.

careful, guys. The corona virus has killed at least 500,000 in China, and this image is from a few days ago. It's probably at least 1 million dead, 10 million infected now. So i applaud Square for cancelling the event, to try to stop the virus from spreading.
