The first Final FANtasy Fest took place in Las Vegas over the weekend, entertaining fans and giving Square Enix a platform to announce Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion, Heavensward. The company is looking to replicate its success this weekend with the London festival.

Sadly, the show has been sold out for months. You can still purchase tickets to view the official live streams, giving you access to all the information but none of the need for parking, food and the need to wear pants and deal with people.
The premium package will set you back $20 and include a full HD feed. A Standard definition viewing option is also available free-of-charge; however, this will not feature the opening keynote presentation or the event closing ceremonies.
