Fan Festival

Christopher Koji Fox, a Square Enix localizer and lyricist, faced backlash during a panel at the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Anaheim, California, for incorporating AI-generated images and videos. The presentation, titled 'From Tacos to Tenders: Serving up the Lyrics of FFXIV,' drew groans from the audience after Fox openly discussed using AI due to time constraints and his CEO's interest in the technology. Online reactions amplified the criticism.
