Dream crossover: Vagrant story! Raid with a deep dungeon locked behind it.
i'd love to see a BLEACH crossover. go to the soul society and land of the hollows would be brilliant.
why 99 cap? Chrono trigger called it's last level **, and it isn't like they can't use 3 didgets.
Nothing short of an engine overhaul would make me fall out of my chair! Because absolutely nothing else will. I’d fall out of my chair and roll around doing donuts on the ground if that happened.
Do you think the next expansion will be on Xbox?
Give me the ability to play thru the pre realm reborn story so everyone can know and appreciate the characters we never really knew and the bosses we never got to fight
The other reason they won't show the full trailer is its sure to have 5.5 spoilers.
Can't wait, so excited.
I'm fairly certain that Alchemist will be it. It's setup too nicely: Alisaie and Alphinaud wanting to job change so what will they become? I'd see Alphinaud go Alchemist / Alisaie-I think is the harder to figure out…Bersker…She will go berserker. Or at least that's my guess o7
I did enjoy this video
Garlamald will be literal midgar lmao, im hoping for them to bring back the ff15 collab and id love to see a ff16/ff7r collab, i need me a regalia. Also pls another healer pls yoship
That sucks my main is on mateus
I absolutely loved Shadowbringers MSQ Play through and early end game. All of the zones, story, characters and music of this expansion were absolutely incredible. But for some reason, I just fell off and could not keep playing after that. I know there is not much they can do, but something about this end game cycle where the raids are released at the same time during the same patch every expansion.. it just rubs me the wrong way.
I don't even know what they can do but… I know I will have a great time again with the MSQ and initially learning the new expansion, but I just hope there is something different or a little more exciting to keep me playing, rather than just… look forward to the new raid again. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks Brian & Chris for the video. I'm definitely excited for this Announcement Showcase. I think they will show info that would have been in the NA & JPN Fanfests & the info from the EU Fanfest will be in their digital fanfest, sometime in May.
I speculate in this first showcase we will see a teaser trailer that would have been shown in the JPN fanfest, i think we will see at least 1 job, dungeons, Level increase info, new 24 man info, new raid info, the title of the expansion, etc.
If they have a new caster…i hope its a wizard!
Never get tired of their intro. Chris always smirks when he says “Chris here.” It’s kinda cool.
On Sargatanas too. 🙌 Lvl80 Warrior current @ 498, hoping to connect with others to practice savage and extreme content. Having a hard time getting into them by just using party finder. — I’ll do my best to swing by your gathering. 🥳 Keep up the good work, guys.
really hope they remake this game new engine no load time and beautiful graphic on ps5 and pc
Getting rid of some remaining remnants of 1.0 coding would be good for the future 😉 14 still has at minimum 2 or 3 more expansions i would say.
Would like to see tank immunities removed and tank incoming damage increased. Also would love to see more unique boss arenas. Melee healer would be great too. =)
I like them having guest directors to do the alliance raid series, but in 6.x I would like those raids to just be their own thing instead of a collab. While I would enjoy a Chrono Trigger, FFVII or Dragon Quest collab, I think the game's lore is rich enough that they don't need to constantly pull external references. But plot twist: the next 24-man series is a WoW collab!!
The Big 5
1) Character Creator: Revamp including female Hrothgar and male Viera. Way more faces, body types, mix/match of tattoos, paint, makeup.
2) Housing Crisis Averted: Instanced housing in the First, own your own apartment; studio, flat, penthouse.
3) FF VII Raids: No commentary required.
4) Dragon Warrior Alliance Raids: The expansion seems tonally dark, offset this with the charm, humor, and color of the series.
5) PvP Overhaul with MMO Collab: PSO2 PvP collab, but I'd settle for WoW or Elder Scrolls Online. Male/Female role outfits (all unisex), weapons, hairstyles, minions, mounts, emotes. All incentives to total PvP rework with modes, maps, and extreme QoL. It can't get worse, so go NUTS.
If two of these come to pass, I have a Vauthry evolution and transform into a new form of consciousness. If all come to pass, I spontaneously combust LMAO
I'm expecting a minimum of one fan fest's worth of expansion information, with a maximum of 2. This is due to everything having been delayed 2-3 months so as first fan fest was meant to be November this kinda makes sense especially as they are having another one in May.
Preview trailer – title – release date – type and number of jobs (not what they are) – New 8 and/or 24 man title with some artwork – new limited job announced
what do i expect ? nothing different from what the game has been since launch, 6 years with the same fuckin structure, same content…nothing different really
Any chance there’s some FFXVI tie in announcement here as well? I think there’s a good chance it’s released this year (or possibly early next year) and with XIV and XVI sharing some of their teams, I don’t see how it isn’t the perfect game to collab with.
If it doesn’t happen here then I expect we’ll still see some advertisement of XIV and XVI together in the future as it could boost the sales of both. Getting eyes on XIV by saying “This MMO is so good they gave the next mainline FF title to them!” and getting eyes on XVI from XIV players by saying “This game is being crafted by the people who made Heavensward!”
Want major glamour expansion.
Im calling it now the new alliance raid will be Persona 5
deepstone crypt in final anyone?
Alternate weapons for each job.
The jump to next gen consoles can accomodate these huge overhauls to the system in addition to the story expansion.
Plot twist, it's all Matoya dungeons
i just want beast master
Ffxiv will go to 90 which will be garland then 100 fight gods finsh up the drama between the higher gods
A further decrease in monthly payment for legacy accounts would get me to fall to the ground and cry
Title Prediction: Forspoken
Subtitle Prediction: Burning Soul Bond or Bonds of the Soul
(regarding the above, I'm a nerd and went through SE's last three years of trademarks looking for possibilities.)
24-man predictions: X- or XIII-related. There's been a lot of themes from both in XIV for a long time. Especially if we end up getting an Allagan-related 24-man again, I could see it being strongly tied to XIII since there's already some crossover there.
Job predictions: Geomancer (Healer) and Time Mage (Ranged Magical.) I could see Rune Fencer/Mystic Knight if they give us Magical Melee as a role here soon though.
Panel Predictions: I'm expecting these to come up as written or video dev blogs.
Moon/Nier: If you pay attention in Puppet's Bunker, there is a screen that says the Moon Base is currently Online. I wouldn't be surprised if we're going to the First's Moon as a 24-man in 5.5, honestly.
PSO2: This actually would not shock me, as years ago on the Japanese version of PSO2, there was a cross over event with FF14. First time I came across Odin by accident in PSO2, I was so traumatized. lmao
Expansions: We already know there's more expansions coming after 6.0. That said, I'd love for them to pull…"A Realm Reborn Reborn" to fix the engine and systems. lol. Pull a rejoining to 'destroy/heal' the world and mwuahaha. There we go. Supposedly they've mentioned that they're already drafting the story for 7.0, so I'm excited to see what's in store.
Personal opinion:
Yoshi P has said "Have High Expectations" in a recent post, interestingly.
So this is my Wishlist:
3 Jobs, Gambler (Gunslinger) (Twin Pistols) via Merlwyb teasing us in 5.4 as RDPS, Necromancer (Scythe) as Spell DPS and Chemist (Surgical Spraygun) as Healer.
Bunboys and Liongirls.
Garlemald, Sharlayan, Thavnair and the Moon.
Possible 24 man crossover? Tetsuya Nomura and Disney collab, Kingdom Hearts.
8 Man: FF10 Crossover.
8 Man Boss Rush: FF9 Crossover.
Soul Calibur PvP Sets via Namco (they already had Monster Hunter).
Eureka Content: FF11 Crossover tied to Vana'diel, return of Iroha from the FF11 crossover event.
New Deep Dungeon themed around Garlemald, based on Crysis Core FF7.
New Dungeon Difficulty: Time Trial, basically similar to Hard Dungeons in other MMO's but focused on completing them in X amount of time, completing all dungeons each week yields a special token reward that acts as a third way to get Augmented Tomestone gear besides 24 mans and 8 man savage. Also has a scoreboard, completing gold scoreboard each week will award significantly more tomestones than usual, all dungeon difficulty is upped to level 90 and the gear is just above job 90 gear by 5 item levels.
New 8 Man Trusts for the Trust System, all Trials are now soloable in 6.0 content onwards doesnt include extreme mode.
Previous Trials in SHB will be included into the Trust system for 8 man, via one off npcs.
Trusts changed: Pick the character, not the job, all the characters multiclass now, Bring Alphinaud as a Healer or DPS, Bring Alisae as a DPS or a Tank!
New Trust Chars: Gaius, Nero, Cid, Lucia
Future patch including Stormblood for Trusts, adding them for Stormblood content and trials.
Blue Mage as a full job, revamped with a content alteration to how it plays in the world and pvp vs how its spellbook works in its phantasmal carnival challenge.
Beastmaster for 5.5, added as a full job in 6.0
Explorable dungeon increased to 8 man explorable dungeon mode, for FC's, social groups and roleplayers.
Explorable raids/trials.
Next Crafting Housing Patch content: The Construction of the Crystarium (Crystarium Housing).
New Beast Tribes, including a moon tribe.
Sharlayan as a capital city, aswell as Radz-at-hanz as the tomestone city, and Garlemald city as the 8 and 24 man city launch platform.
9 Zones and 3 cities, PS5 upgrade, PS4 support ended once 6.0 launches, Xbox Pass comming later.
Character development moments for Y'sthola and Urianger (Because they really need them) aswell as Alphy/Alisae.
BST, GEO, Morpher teaser.
I'm tempering my hype for this event because it's confirmed that they are having another event in May. I think we may get some teases like a first fan fest but I think we will leave with more questions than answers again. We might find out about another limited job, if that is happening but I think the biggest announcement maybe if/when we are getting Ishgard housing. Though even with that I'm not holding my breath. We may also see a rebalancing of worlds on Data Centers. Aside from that I'm expecting much concrete information, more or less I expect YoshiP to be a big tease as always. Thus I do expect this to be amazingly fun to watch & be apart of.
Fix the housing system with dynamic residential areas. So everyone can own a plot. And make people bid/hunt for the larger/more beautiful plots. Maybe create new plots as Extra tiny for this purpose. So many of the player base is basically locked out of this system. Also, separate FC housing and player housing. Dedicate a x amount of plots for FC and x amount to players. There is no way a solo player can ever outbid a whole FC. maybe at a single extra large plot for ver prestigious guilds.
Make the limit break system character based. It's kinda sad some characters will never see their level 3 limit break because the melee dps is more needed in boss fights. Make them less powerful and maybe add a FF12 Quickening system where Special limit breaks will occur every 3 limit breaks. Also, create seperate class based animations for all level 1 and 2 limit breaks.
Engine overhaul: YES!!!!!!!
Pvp: Realm versus Realm Combat. Sort of like Guild wars 2 but then better.
Job predictions, twins want new jobs:
Alisaie started with an aether Blade but it was taxing on her and she went to rdm using the focus for magic.
Based on her thesis, going Spellblade and channeling aether to a int sword/hammer for a 14’ed version of ffv Spellblade fits best since she could channel directly to the sword/hammer instead of a focus.
There are enough elements to do a single and aoe combo, lb, plus a dot in bio blade.
Alph – geo healer since he was in Eden and it’s geo themed raid. Uses wards which do regen or shields. Fits healer role while adding something new. Calc or Orator healer.
Limited – chemist since a real job with mixing is more gimmicky than blu is and would be wipe causing fail for a portion of the player base if real.
Glamor layering I can come with so many glamor ideas if there was layering
Me personally would like to have a Star Wars collaboration
id like ffxiv to bring in breath of fire P or legend of dragoon cross over but i know it will never happan sad face
I know .hack is old but that would be amazing or sword art online.
One thing can get me to fall of my chair. A brand new engine for FFXIV, New textures, better models and so on. Still hoping for that!
We going to Space
Fall out of my Chair: If they completely destroyed the world like they did for 1.0 and remade it for 6.0. It would solve the ARR issue and it has been stated that we will be done with this world. So maybe?
I know it's never gonna happen, but I would love a Pokemon crossover! The first two Alliance Raid would be 4 GYM each, and then the last one is the Elite Four.
Thanks for these types of videos explaining to newer players or us WoW Refugees, how content is communicated to players. It was a bit confusing to look around on my own at first, but this is great…keep up the great content there's some of us other "gamer dads in tech" who appreciate what you do!
Did they set the showcase to the 6th instead?. says Saturday, 6 February 2021 at 1:30 (GMT). or is this just cause i am from europe?
💜…Do you happen to have any idea if the Island will be an actual housing district? — I ask because as of right now, a small house is only allowed “one” single interactive garden – and yet it can quite easily accommodate 3 Deluxe Gardens. Is it possible to request they change the limit? — Otherwise, I’ll have to try and buy a Mansion just to have the 3 garden beds I want.
