Your Guide to the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Event
Square Enix shares and details.
We're a little less than two weeks from the opening of the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Gallery in Shibuya. Final Fantasy fans throughout the world are excited. Mog's excited too! He (she?) created a lengthy guide to the event.
The main attraction in the guide is the map. It lists all the major corners of the event floor:
Here's a guide to what you're looking at, minus all the kupos.
- 1. The entrance

- 3. Memories of Final Fantasy
- This mini theater will have video footage of FFI through FFXIV
- 4. Final Fantasy Creatives

The Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Gallery will be held from August 31 through September 2 in Shibuya Hikarie Hall. The 31st is invite only. The other two days are free, but Square Enix will let people in in 120 person blocks, ten minutes at a time. Each block will have ten minutes to enjoy a particular section. For those who plan on attending, the gallery is on the 9th floor, but reception is on the 3rd level basement.
The event will also see stage shows, most notably a Final Fantasy XIII stage on the 1st. These are for selected members of the Square Enix Members fan club only, but the stages will be live streamed for all.
