2026 FanFests

[Exmo]

I asked ChatGPT to list all last ''Japan'' FanFest and release dates because I didn’t feel like looking them up myself, but it messed up—even though I asked three times to double-check by forcing it to research on the internet.
After verification, ChatGPT did give incorrect dates.
It’s 5 months for Stormblood, 3 months for Shadowbringers, and then 6 months for the rest.

That's so funny. It took you more work to use chat gpt than to just look up the info yourself

Yes, generally CHATGPT is quite reliable, but it’s still a tool in constant evolution, and yes, it proves that it’s better to do things yourself, and that laziness ends up creating more work x)

It has improved a lot, but I remember during its start looking up information about FFXIV to test how well it works and it failed so badly... so when it gave me the fanfest dates I was like "let me double check before posting" XD

To be fair it is a pain to find these fanfest dates. They used to have them all in one site to easily look, but I couldn't find it this time. ChatGPT is a good starter (I used it to start of), but yeah, usually when I try to make a point I try to look at the information myself to make sure it lines up.

Yes, that’s exactly the problem dates are really annoying to track down, the information is scattered, and it’s not easy to find quickly.
I didn’t want to waste 15–20 minutes searching here and there, so I decided to trust a tool that’s constantly developing xD
