 After the success of the campaign during Fan Festival 2026 in Anaheim and Berlin, we are excited to start the next round of our collaboration with Twitch to celebrate our global FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festivals!
As with North America and Europe, we will be running Viewer Reward campaigns offering unique rewards for the Japanese Fan Festival. Across the Fan Festival weekend, we will be giving away chat badges that you can use across Twitch simply by tuning in to participating channels.
These chat badge icons are unique images that appear next to your username on Twitch and can be used across multiple channels, so no matter where you go, you can display your badge with pride. Unlocked multiple badges? You can swap them in and out in your settings to match your mood. Details on how to do that can be found below.
So, what badges are you able to obtain? Let us show you! Fan Festival 2026 in TokyoCampaign DurationFrom Friday, October 30, 2026 at 8:01 a.m. (PDT) to Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 6:59 a.m. (PST)

How to Participate- Log in to your Twitch account. If needed, you can create one for free at twitch.tv.
- Visit one of the participating Twitch channels currently streaming FINAL FANTASY XIV in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online category with the "Drops Enabled" tag to begin accumulating watch time and earning your reward.
- Streamers should check that they have enabled the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online campaign in the Drops section within the Creator Dashboard under Viewer Rewards.
- Rewards will be earned once the required watch time has been met for the item and will be delivered automatically.
- Streams played in the background or through inactive tabs will not count towards the watch time requirement.
- Please note that any watch time accumulated while the campaign is not live will not count towards reward progress.
- Even if Drops are enabled and the category is set to FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, any watch time accumulated on channels that are not streaming FINAL FANTASY XIV will not be counted.
Using Your New Chat BadgeOnce the conditions to unlock the reward have been met, the badge will automatically be unlocked, and you will be able to change your chat badge at any time.
To change your chat badge via browser: - 1. Navigate to any chat on Twitch.
- 2. Click on the icon in the left of the chat box to open the Chat Identity menu.
- 3. Select the badge you wish to use from the Global Badge section.

- 3. Click on the account listed under Identity.

Last time, the chat badges proved incredibly popular, which meant they took a little longer than usual to appear once earned. Please keep in mind that, in some cases, it may take several hours for the chat badges to appear and become usable.
Chat badges are earned and granted automatically, so you don't need to use any commands in chat, or do anything else to earn, claim, or enable them.
