Square Enix notes stage times can change. The Crystalline Conflict broadcast is in Japanese only.

Can you co-stream the keynote?

Co-streaming is allowed for everything except the paid concerts. Square Enix strongly advises against co-streaming the keynote on YouTube, since Content ID can interrupt the stream or penalize the channel. Other platforms are not expected to have that issue.

Concert tickets

The piano concert and THE PRIMALS are paid streams on StreamPass and FanStream: 4,950 yen for both days, plus a 660 yen system fee. Sales run until November 21, and the ticket includes an archive you can rewatch until November 22. You need a free Plus member ID to buy, and the stream may not be available in every region.
