I think historically that an expansion name and teaser trailer come from the first Fan Fest of the year, but I’m not 100% sure… what sorts of announcements do you want to see?
An announcement that there will be another round of ticket sales…
I went and looked up what other fanfests were like (source is on reddit 🙁, sorry).
If history repeats, we should get:
- The expansion name
- A short teaser trailer
- Basic announcements about content with no details
- Where are we going or some important people. Basic surface-level plot points. Maybe a bit of relevant lore
- Screenshots
- A few big system announcements (e.g., SB had the introduction of Eureka, an inventory expansion, and the end of PS3 support, ShB introduced Ishgardian Restoration, New Game+, World Visit)
- Yoshi-P wears a shirt that teases something about the expansion (e.g., HW had Batman = Dark Knight, SB had Scarlet Witch = Red Mage, ShB had Bugs Bunny = Viera)
We might also get some details on 6.5.
I’m waiting for the tease of Yoshi-p’s shirt, that’s always fun to speculate what it could mean, then the follow up shirts in the live letters between other fan fests. I know it’s unlikely, but I’d like to see something on female rothgar.
I know female Hrothgar is something they’ve mentioned before as at least “eventually” tier. So I think it’s definitely possible for 7.0.
I’m hoping for a few more details regarding the lighting update and QoL changes. They said they’re working on implementing features from popular 3rd-party add-ons, and I know thousands of console players would absolutely go nuts with hype if they announce that they’re even considering implementing chat bubbles.
I would love to see more information or even a sneak peek of what the graphics update will look like. I remember them bringing it up as something look forward to around 7.0
Oh yeah, I’d like to see an update on this. The first time it just kind of seemed like basic lighting changes but texture revamps would be awesome.
Hoping for a rerun of SoKen’s masterful rendition of Lahee (orchestrion roll when). And the Twinning meme dance.
But seriously, I’m just excited for them to vibe with the community again, whatever they have in store.
