Final Fantasy XIV
Artwork Exhibition
The Final Fantasy XIV Artwork Exhibition was a special event originally slated for January 8-12, 2021 at the O-YANE Plaza at Roppongi Hills in Tokyo, Japan. The artwork exhibition was to showcase the gorgeous environments found throughout the MMORPG in canvas sizes of more than 2m high and 4m wide. Visitors would pass through the etherite shaped gate to enter the exhibition.
Screenshots taken by players were to be displayed at this event. Attendees would’ve been able to look through the eyes of the “Warriors of Light” to see the various firsthand versions of locales featured in this series of displays.
Due to concerns regarding COVID-19, the event was delayed. From May 14, 2021, Square Enix allowed online viewing of some of the artwork pieces that will be part of the exhibition. This was in conjunction of the Final Fantasy XIV Digital Fan Festival 2021.
