Glamoured to Life Returns!

Glamoured to Life returns to Fan Festival 2026 in Anaheim!

We love seeing fans showcase their love and passion for FFXIV through cosplay while attending each Fan Festival! This year we're excited to once again give costumed attendees the opportunity to show off their FFXIV cosplay in person. Whether you're showcasing an outfit designed after a favorite FFXIV character, creature, or your very own Warrior of Light, we encourage interested attendees to sign up either individually or as part of a group.

Entry Requirements 

  • Must be in costume to participate.

  • Must have a Fan Festival 2026 in Anaheim ticket and attend in-person. 

Entry Period 

  • Monday, January 19 at 11:00 a.m. (PST) to Saturday, February 28 at 11:59 p.m. (PST) 

Stage Show Information 

Glamoured to Life is a 60-minute show that will take place on the main stage on Friday, April 24, 2026. 

Participants will have approximately 30 seconds to walk the stage, pause and pose, and continue off the stage. 

Approximately 100 Walk Slots will be allocated for the duration of the stage show. 

  • A "walk slot" may consist of an individual or a group walking on stage. 

  • 90 walk slots will be confirmed before the event. Selected participants will receive a confirmation email from NAFanFest26-cosplay@us.square-enix.com to the email they apply with in late March 2026. 

  • 10 walk slots will be offered on a first come first serve basis at the cosplay check-in counter in Hall E of the Anaheim Convention Center for costumed attendees on Friday, April 24 at 8:00 a.m. (PDT) to cover participant cancellations. * It is highly recommended to apply ahead of the show if you wish to participate as these 10 slots will fill up fast!

  • All participants must check-in during the event at the cosplay check-in counter in Hall E of the Anaheim Convention Center to receive their walk number. 

Participant Selection

We encourage attendees who are comfortable walking alongside fellow Warriors of Light to coordinate a group in advance and register your group's interest together. We will try to accommodate as many as possible, however due to strict stage show time limits we may be unable to allow all registered applicants the ability to participate.

If the application number exceeds our limits, Square Enix staff will select participants based on: 

  • The overall completeness of the costume or groups costume(s). 

  • The creativity and uniqueness of the costume(s). 

If you are no longer able, or no longer wish, to participate in the Glamoured to Life stage show after submitting your application, please email NAFanFest26-cosplay@us.square-enix.com to withdraw your application. This will help us to ensure we can accommodate as many participants as possible. This email may also be used for questions regarding the stage show.  We are unable to accept any registration via this email address.
