Fruity Snacks stands with his hands on his hips, smiling on a stage, wearing a dark blue button-up shirt with a fish print. It is opened to reveal a white shirt with a picture of a fish. There is an arrow pointing to the fish, and at the end of the arrow is the word "fish".

Snip from the Dragon Con website: Fruity Snacks. Fruity Snacks is an instructional designer who owns the Eorzean Aquarium and Eorzean Museum Network, and has a YouTube channel for teaching how to catch fish in Final Fantasy 14.

We are also thrilled to announce that the fin-tastic Final Fantasy XIV fishing expert is returning for #DragonCon2026! That's right, @fisherfruity.bsky.social is back for mora! 🐟

A photo of Em dressed as their Warrior of Light, Aeneas, a pale-skinned, blue-eyed Raen Au Ra with a sprinkle of freckles across her rosy cheeks and short, backswept blue hair, dressed in blue velvet and black leather Edenmorn attire. She is standing at a three-quarters angle with her face looking at the camera from her side.

Snip from the Dragon Con Website: EmUnArum. Em is a Final Fantasy lore expert and cosplayer who regularly provides resources for fans and presents at conventions. They have created 30+ Final Fantasy cosplays.

Hey Final Fantasy fans--do you like lore? Cosplay? Then you'll be as excited as we are that @emunarum.bsky.social is joining us for #DragonCon2026!

#FFXIV #FFXI

The event that inspired the #DragonConWoLTrade is back! Check out Endy's thread in the QP below for information on the 2026 North America #FanFestWoLTrade!

And hey--if you have fun trading your stickers out on the west coast next spring, come trade with us at the end of summer on the east coast!

The applications for Guests, Attending Professionals, and Performers open in just a few weeks! Who do you hope to see at #DragonCon2026?

This year, Labor Day was the earliest it could be, the 1st. Next year, Labor Day will be the latest it can be, the 7th. So this year will be the longest time you'll have to finish your @dragoncon.org cosplays, or the most amount of time you can put off working on them.

For those of you that were asking about the slides for the #DragonCon2025 FFXIV RP 101 panel, they have been added to the list of resources at dcon.roleplay.events.

This is the same link that the QR code from the end of the panel contained. A recording -may- be redone at a later date.

On Episode 948 of my video game podcast, I'll be talking about my time at Dragon Con as well as a valid case for the existence of digital preorders thanks to Silksong. We also wonder if Silksong's price will hurt other indie developers who can't afford to charge only $20. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Bobby is live now and OLR is back tonight right after! I'll be talking about DragonCon and although the gaming news is pretty sparse (what's up??) we have some things to talk about with you in chat. Of course, we're primed to go off the rails on a slow news week :P www.twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

The #FFXIV community showed up strong at the Sprout Social during #DragonCon2025 and turned their $ into DPS to take down the dreaded Yan that threatened to wipe the entire event! In just under 2 hours, we crushed our goal and overall raised over $1700 for #NAMIGeorgia, the 2025 #DragonConCharity!
