    PvP pros will need to come out to experience Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn in a brand new PvP mode that competes 3 teams of 8 against each other or they can try to stand their ground against extreme battle challenges. This will all have live commentary by well-known ESL casters Mori and A1m.

    Nosgoth is giving everyone a beta pass if they visit the booth. If you want to join in on the multiplayer fun, hit up the Nosgoth Booth!

    Lastly there will be a booth set up for cosplayers to take pictures in front of two different Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn backgrounds at the Cosplay Village.

    There is no word if we'll see anything in relation to Kingdom Hearts 3 or Final Fantasy XV this year but you never know! Gamescom is growing rapidly and is becoming on of the major gaming conventions.
