I’m in the camp that the second city is a major Hrothgar settlement. I feel like it’d make a very smooth transition to revealing female Hrothgar after talking about a big Hrothgar city.
@@Ishi112 male Viera already had Shadowbringers Fanow as a logical excuse for existence since The First is a reflection so we have an equivalent somewhere. So they didn't do a city, because there was already a baked in place and reason by the time Male Viera became a thing.
Well cannonicaly male vieras dont live in cities AFAIK, they live alone in the forest. Also AFAIK females Hrothgar don't share the same way of living, it's just that some male Hrothgars are the ones traveling out of the new world, therefore we haven't seen a female Hrothgar in game because they just arent where we are. They could live in a Hrothgar city, together with males that didnt leave the new world.
I recall hearing the art designer for the Charr(Who are very similar to Hrothgar) in Guild Wars 2 saying when they designed them "The females are either going to have no nipples or six nipples, your choice".
And then they became by far the least played thing in the entire game! That said, Charr remain cooler than Hrothgar. Too bad Charr are attached to a horrendous cash shop simulator now.
So much excitement coming up! The FFXI raid was a huge surprise! I know we won't see much on the raid or the launch trailer if they follow the previous ones. But that 7.1 trailer should be amazing. Was surprised we were getting another limited job but I will welcome more content. FFXIV still exciting 10 years later!
I on the other hand kind of do want them to retain the hunched back. 'Matriarchal' doesn't mean 'bestial look is illegal'. I'm *really* Hoping they don't go the route of 'Amazonian built and somehow standing and towering over everything else', personally. But that's mostly a personal aesthetic thing.
I think if I remember right from the data mining on “Legs” that they ported the animations of to a player character that Hrothgals or at the very least “Legs” lack or mostly lack the hunch. If I remember right they do adopt a wider more powerful idle animation than the other races. Unfortunately I can’t find the sites that use to have these images/movies since they got taken down.
@@bazziggyYou are misremembering. The animations connected to the legs are blatantly unfinished but they absolutely do have a hunch - just a much less pronounced one than the male one.
Only confirmed thing more that they will talk about is the new Island Sanctuary style content that wasnt ready for EU fanfest. Also wording for the limited job reveal was little odd, paraphrasing but "The developement has started and we are happy to reveal more very soon". Additionally final fanfest usually reveals more major QoL changes to the game like they removed belts in EW. Im only hoping for more suprised tbh since JP and EU fanfest reveals havent really knocked my socks off so would be cool to get something entirely out of left field.
I'm trying to recall which fan fests Island Sanctuary or Ishgard Restoration were announced in as still hoping for another restoration location (Garlamald seems the most obvious potential for that, maybe building a new capital or even rebuilding one of the now independent provinces)
I seem to remember last fanfest had explicit mention they wanted to show the lifestyle content there but decided to save it until they could show some in game stuff, so it seems like a safe bet we get to see a little at this fanfest. My crazy theory's been void restoration since I don't think we'll ever do that in the msq if shadowbringers role quest npcs get involved, but Garlemald is the obvious pick.
@@wavypavy4059 I think it`s more likely to be a Bozja-Resto than a Garlemald one for the following reasons: 1) It lies further in the past than the destruction of Garlemald 2) the population of Bozja is already part of the Eorzea-Alliance which Garlemald is not 3) Rowna is already involved in the Bozja-area as a supplier and there is more money to be made from the Bozjan-people than from a wasteland with allmost no resources
hmmm it would be interesting to see Garlemald Restoration, but story wise, i think it would probably look more like the Doma Restoration where we sell them goods, they just pay us. we don't really help them directly.
I have seen so many job action trailers by this point, I know we still have to wait a while for those. But it is always something to look forward too. That said I am a bit scared, bc for me mnk after a long time is in a really good place right now, so hopefully they wont change too much.
@@RaddyC There's a lot of "duality" themes going on in DT with the mamoolja with two heads, the viper with two swords. So I just speculated what the duality of nature theme would be if the viper represented the jungle areas we've been shown, and the caster referenced the desert like area. Something closely associated with deserts are mirages. And coincidentally, the ninja turtles was originally published by mirage studios.
I feel like the raid will be FF5 related. With the mention of Galuf and being that Krile is supposed to be in this more if they arent main story related I can see it taking place in raid. Maybe even see Lenna and Bartz?
Though I highly doubt they'll risk it, I would be VERY interested in a new combat system. Just like the Ascient's saga had the Limit Break, they could add something new. My personal desire would be a Stagger system. Not only would it make more dynamic encounters (because players would have the choice to stagger an enemy or not, possibly making the encounter last longer if they do albeit it helps us skip a specific mechanic designed to potentially be skipped) but it would also add more balance to the jobs by giving less DPSy jobs add something different in the jobs balance. To further explain my thought, imagine that you fill a Stagger gauge by doing something that hurts your DPS OR that makes your rotation harder to maintain. For instance, we can imagine added positionals for melees and/or more buttons to press (we've roughly 10 free buttons for every job and these actions aren't mandatory anyway) and/or another gauge. It could also have mechanics of its own like Red Mage having a third mana colour managed by oGCDs : since they can't use them while casting, it will sometimes cost some DPS to choose to fill the stagger gauge (then it's up to the encounters' design to force a stagger-able mechanic earlier so that players are more or less incentivised to lose DPS) . Besides, tanks would have to use more support-y actions to fill the Stagger gauge, whereas healers would have a DPS rotation to follow (weak attacks leading to a powerful attacks but being too slow/inactive would make it less powerful than spamming their current damaging ability). As for the encounters themselves, we can imagine several actions meant to be interrupted : a monster charging onto the raid or calling forth reinforcements, even puzzle-like mechanics especially the "tutorial" parts at the beginning of a fight. This way, confident groups could skip the "tutorial" by keeping their burst and filling the stagger gauge as quickly as possible to interrupt it ; then, the boss would speed things up resulting in a quicker enrage (imagine a 10min fight reduced to 7~8 minutes) . Also, while staggered, the boss would be vulnerable which is why bursting at this moment would be even more valuable especially if the team is well coordinated (able to align CDs and fill resources before, which should be the basics in a savage environment anyway) . Week 1 players would not rely on this however, because they wouldn't have enough equipment to clear the staggered encounter except if they stagger at the very end (where designers would not want any mechanic to be skipped) .
Do you think we might get a timeframe for the benchmark? that usually includes the newly announced race so you can play with the character creation settings for it.
The raids will be interesting, as I have absolutely no idea what they could go for, aside from a hypothetical 'Terra from FF9' situation, where we explore the heart of Eitherys.
A "Nature themed" job is right up my alley. My guess at this point is green mage or geomancer, but seeing as they surprised everyone with the new physical dps job it's really hard to say what they'll do this time. I will fall out of my chair if it's straight up called "Druid". I *love* druid classes. And I agree with your hopes when it comes to how Fem Hrothgar will look like. It'd make sense they would have a more "sophisticated" air, but at the same time I really hope they keep most of their beastial features intact too. Frankly - Male Hrothar with feminine traits is really all I want, but the no slouch will be a huge bonus. If they nail it, I'm gonna have to make a tough decision because I love how my Viera WoL looks like right now.
It highly depends on what you mean by a "druid" class. Do you mean to metamorphose into animals just like a Summoner has a rotation made of several egis ? To have nature-based *animations* (regardless the gameplay) ? Do you want it to actually call for animal reinforcements (like pets ? or animations ?) or to have attacks that remind you of animals ? A "druid" theme is so vague that you could even call the Viper a druid (since it's inspired by snakes and uses elemental (thunder) attacks).
@@futurepastnow We don't care about the name, we care about the gameplay. That's why so many people (if not almost everyone) were wrong about the melee job.
@@Namriel "Druid" isnt as vague as you think in the context of ffxiv, it would be more of an off shoot of conjuration magic with stone and wind. thunder is more associated with arcane magic, not nature magic. Jobs being inspired by animals also doesn't mean its druidic, dragoon has its whole dragon theme yet you wouldn't consider that a druid. If "druid" itself was in the game, it would most likely be a phase-based class, maybe like bard. Id assume youd be cycling through different animal transformations for a time for different buffs, debuffs, and damages.
@@jorgus1 A leading to B does not mean B leading to A. Also, if thunder were associated with arcane magic and not nature magic, then why would the Viper use thunderish attacks ? Besides "phase-based" is relative to gameplay, not about the theme. What I'm saying is that, if one decides that the next job is a druid, it doesnt actually tell us anything about the theme. And not much about the gameplay either : DRG's rotation could very well fit a Druid theme but SE decided not to. Conversely one could decide that druidic powers are tied to animals, it's completely arbitrary (other games did so), especially since a new continent may mean new rules.
I'm also getting a vibe that the new offensive caster class will probably be nature based... as that really fits with the vibe of the new world setting. And i'm curious if our new Bun Boy Gleaner friend who has appeared in the trailer already might be it.. or it might even be Krile given her distinct lack of appearances in the trailer so far.. despite being kind of important in the lead up plot.
It's a pretty minor gripe, but I kind of wish they didn't have a second city each expansion. It's a bit annoying that they split it between the useful vendors and the market board, and I think having one main hub with more players there would make it feel more alive. But again, pretty minor gripe. Also, Time Mage!!!!
As much as it doesn't make sense for Radz to not have a Market Board and Sharlayan does, the reason they do that is to separate Post-Content and Early-Content players (alongside story points).
@@Paraguai123 But why do that? It's not like the shout chats are used to make groups, because the party finder exists. All it does it make it feel like the game is more dead than it is for anyone who isn't end game yet when they're in the empty early city.
@@OldManInternet For the same reason they do a split quest that takes you to different areas at the very beginning of every expansion: to prevent funneling too many players into the same place all at once, for server stability reasons. Instancing areas helps, but even just making sure different groups of people have a reason to be in different places on launch day (or in the case of the main/side city split, launch week) eases things up by a lot.
Looking forward to femmgars though had a lot of fun watching the EU fan fest with friends trying to make every Segway about femmagrs/hrothgals. Guess we will se how much I get to do it before they reveal (tbf figured it’d likely be at the last one anyways). I always forget when the job action trailer happens so thanks for the reminder there. Otherwise looking forward to finally seeing the second job. Still hoping for some kind of pictomancer/something armed with a paintbrush but I’m fine if it’s not - would like it to have a unique weapon though if possible
I wonder if the 6.x void story will be related to any of Dawntrails' side content. If they want the 13th story to also involve Gaia and Unukailhai (which I hope they do) it cannot be MSQ so I'm looking at optional content instead. We still haven't heard about the raid series, the trial series, and they've been lowkey hinting new massive group battle content (next exploration zone?) though nothing officially announced. All potential candidates.
New caster … I would only see 3 choices if looked at Yoshi P’s T-Shirt 1. Green mage : for obvious reason like said in the video 2. Pictomancer : based on the TMNT names 3. Time Mage/Chronomancer : not really because of turtles in time but TMNT, The NT maybe referencing Viper based on sharing gear with Ninja and turtle being a lizard like a viper.. and TM for Time Mage.. maybe it’s a little farfetched but who knows
Although I admittedly find Pictomancer more likely than Time Mage, I do think the possibility of the latter is very real for a few reasons: 1) You see, TMNT had this little game called Turtles in Time, which is uhh... probably the most popular TMNT video game of all time and one of the most iconic beat'em ups in gaming history, lol. So yes, there IS a possible connection between the shirt and Time Mage there. 2) Time Mage would be THE perfect DoT mage to fill in the void left behind by old SMN, for obvious reasons (Damage over TIME). I also think abilities like Slow and Haste _can_ work in FF14. Slow 1 could increase one enemy's auto-attack delay (would also work on bosses). Slow 2 could simply apply Slow debuff in an AoE like Arm's Length (would only work on trash ofc) and it could even be a Slow 1 upgrade where the first enemy would get the AA delay (a separate debuff that bosses aren't immune) and everything in its radius the regular Slow debuff. Haste 1 could be the Time Mage's self buff, working like Ley Lines on BLM. Haste 2 could be a party buff where for Physical jobs it decreases auto-attack delay (basically a party Riddle of Wind) and for Magical jobs it reduces cast time (not recast though, that'd be a mess, lol). Unfortunately SCH already called dibs on a party sprint, otherwise that'd be the perfect Haste 2. Comet could be a powerful burst spell and Quick could be used to recast any spell that was just used without restrictions, preferably a powerful damage dealing one like Comet. Time Mage could have a teleport for movement that would work like Shukuchi. The possibilities are endless and I definitely think the job could be a solid and unique one. 3) Any concerns about Astrologian already having Time Mage abilities like Gravity could be resolved by making both jobs siblings, like SMN and SCH. So basically, they'd share some skills and would level at the same time, meaning Time Mage _could_ have Gravity as its AoE damage spell as well. Granted, SMN and SCH are tied together because of Arcanist, so they'd have to go a bit more out of the way to have AST and Time Mage have this interaction. That's of course assuming Gravity is not removed from AST's kit in the rework. If it is, then well, there you go, Time Mage could have exclusivity over Gravity and do whatever it wants with that ability.
Yeah totally agree on all the points said ! And if they go that road of reworking Astro completely by removing those time inspired spells it’s totally possible. I’m not even a caster main and I’m excited for the reveal. I was just thinking of the origin of the job.. now we know we gonna have another Tural (new world) jobs with blue mage, I’m just curious to know where it’s gonna originate from. Green mage is Ivalice based if we look at pass FFs, but we still have nothing from Meracydia.. if anybody else have any other ideas I’m would love to know it
ppl rly expected to see job trailer already? that's wild... they literally release the new job trailer for all claases when the expansion is like, literally about to drop. the only trailer we will get is the new job and maybe a teaser for new limited job. theyre 100% still tweaking jobs
Ya know, I was running hero’s gauntlet the other day and you know how the enemies in that dungeon are jobs? Such as Spectral Dragoon or Spectral White Mage. Well there is a group of enemies called “Spectral Ink mage”. If they did pictomacer, do you think they would call it Ink Mage?
I doubt it, but that would be incredibly cool. Especially since they can go with an aquatic thing for it, being squids and all. Its main element could be water since that element is incredibly underutilized in this game. also the job name shortening being INK is nice. Hell, all that animal theming for both viper and this potential ink mage does pave the way for another potential beastmaster limited job.
I belive Yoshida already gave an interview roughly around the time of 6.1 or 6.2 that already confirmed Krile is changing jobs and getting a new outfit. So this comment is a little moot. Your "speculation" was already confirmed months and months and months ago.
people get disappointed (or absurdly angry ) because they don't like to use their brains. So someone trying to set those expectations right is almost a PSA. (and no, afaik MrHappy is not part of the dev team so these are all probabilities, high or low, not certainties. And even if he was part of it, he'd be under NDA and would not be allowed talk about those things)
I know what I hope DOESN'T happen to the female Hrothgar: that they get the female Au Ra treatment. You know, where the females are literally almost, if not exactly, half the height of the males. Some female Au Ra actually look like jailbait, and after seeing the concept for them before they were released, it made me sad that we didn't get their original design. I'm hoping for Pictomancer, or something like it. Given the massive hint that we got at the end of 6.5, however--and if it's not a fake out--I can see us getting Green Mage. Honestly, I'm most excited for the caster job and the female Hrothgar. I've been waiting for them since the male Hrothgar's initial release. I just have a thing for beast gals.
I feel like they MIGHT mention some GENERAL broad brush-strokes of AST/DRG changes, and then EXTREMELY general things on some other Jobs (e.g. "everyone will have new actions") that reveal effectively nothing. I think there have been some cases in the past where Jobs had major reworks that they kind of gave some general overview of in advance, though I can't remember if it was fanfest or liveletter, it still seems there might be SOME hope there. But yeah...probably won't be as much as people would like to see.
My only hope is that next expansion the 8-man raids are handled much better. First tier was really solid, but second and third were fun to prog at best, absolutely awful at worst. P10S being the only exception, imo. Reclears are not fun at all in tier 2/3, and I hope they address that. Eden had a couple problems, but I felt reclears weren't really one of them save for Shiva but that's Lights Rampant. For Pande, its both people failing to reclear, and fights just dragging on and on, Hi P7S and P11S. Only other thing I want announced is better Relic Weapon grind. I give Mandy weapons some slack as Covid no doubt hurt EW development (It did hit about six months after ShB launched) but still, the grind is unrewarding compared to StB, ShB or even HW, though the second to last step can bite me.
Yeah I've really been missing the ability to work on Relics together with friends, like we could with Bozja or Eureka, even if those modes aren't perfect. I know *technically* most content that gives the right tomes counts as part of the grind. In practice, if everything is the Relic Grind, it means nothing is the Relic Grind. Practically it's just same old Roulettes as before. I just save up meteors and only spend them if I need to. Very boring.
That’s exactly what I want from Fem-Hrothgar. I still want them to be big furry muscle. But actually stand up straight and just generally appear larger. Not Au Ra size difference, but at least a head taller between Max Male and Min Female
I at least hope the pre-orders go live after the fanfest. I'd like to knock that out first before buying Under Night Inbirth 2 (another game I'm looking forward to)
There's that one clip of a large in eprson crowd cheering for paladin gap closer for shadowbringers and knowing now it wasnt from a fanfest job action trailer I need to know where that came from.
We will probably see some job actions with that trailer they do that is the one they use to let you see how well your cars outer can run the game. We saw holy Shelltron early with it for Endwalker
At a glance, the new melee DPS seems a little underwhelming or same-y... I was hoping for something more unique. I thought it would be awesome to have a class that's kind of like Firion, where they have a different type of weapon for different reasons and one huge attack that uses all of them at once/in succession. Maybe the caster will be more interesting.
My wish is that the caster will be Gambler. What I don’t wish is green mage for caster, we don’t need another class that’s similar to another when viper seems like ninja 2.0 already if it’s a buffer. If it’s a Druid style class I would be ecstatic. No buff/debuffer please. Dots sure.
I reckon (hopium) we'll see femhroth at the JP fanfest. Even more hopium, they'll be more bestial than neko (more actual femhroth than looking like a slightly more muscly miqo)
i am really excited to learn the new class, and while people have been speculating, i really am throwing my hat into it being another original class. the New Limited class i do have a more focused thought on with it being a class from other FF games.
I really want Green Mage to be a support magic DPS similar to Dancer with lower personal DPS but higher party DPS. Give them buffs and debuffs with cooldowns, some kind of unique mechanic to maintain their buffs and debuffs and give them DoTs as their damage abilities to tick all the boxes.
Since green mage doesn’t work in ffxiv because of the buffs and debuff playstyle could it be that green mage is the new limited job? And the new magical job is something completely different?
I want Green Mage to be a support magic DPS similar to Dancer with lower personal DPS but higher party DPS. Give them buffs and debuffs with cool downs, some kind of unique mechanic to maintain their buffs and debuffs and give them DoTs as their damage abilities to tick all the boxes.
I must be the only person who didn't think or see anything related to Hrothgar at all when it came to those feet, because they firmly looked hyuran to me. There was *nothing* about them that stood out and said "These are the feet of a Hrothgal" that I could see.
For the next expansion there are 3 Fan-fests, one in North America, one in Europe and the final fan-fest of the 3 will be in Japan. Presumably there will be more fan-fests come next expansion.
No, it's the final fanfest leading into Dawntrail, just like all the other expansions had a first and final fanfest. Usually but not always 3 per expansion.
Do you think that the story will be separated? As is currently, my friends are having a big barrier to go through to even reach endgame ( around 300 hours of story ). I think its too much
They said that at one point they will make an alternative startingpoint available and that they want that to be 7.0 (so people don`t have to play through 5 expansions worth of content just to play with their friends in a new expansion) but it won`t be with the 7.0 release. My guess is that will come with 8.0 (with the next statsquish as the numbers currently are already approaching the niveau we had during 5.2 (this is simple speculation based on the logic of "numbers too big")presented in 5.55) or 8.3/8.5 when EW will be made part of the freetrial.
I'm hoping for some kind of tech caster. like, it could be Green Mage but I really want it to be some kind of tech. Maybe merge green mage with puppet master, maybe a caster in a mech.
@@SPB___ that's what Green Mage has always been. Heck, in order to give Green Mage any identity, they had to take away some spells from White and Black just to give them to Green instead of coming up with new spells.
Yep, a lot of people are going to cancel their sub to right before DT release, losing their house in the process and then whining about it. honestly, i'm only logging on for Deep Dungeon and ultimate raids, other than that i'm not playing this game at all, I hope they do something between now and DT's release, because still 6-9 months away is crazy long.
I really hope they wont mess with AST too much and make it a braindead job like SMN... the only reason why I enjoy healing rn is bc of AST and the difference betweeen the other healers...
I've only been playing for about a year, but I looked in to old classes and how they were changed, and they really do seem hell bent on just making them more braindead with each change. AST isn't even difficult, it's just a lot to juggle. FFS I play with controller and my only issue is getting dropped inputs.
Who are we REALLY kidding here? it's the same script, same formula. we're not getting anything really new, so i'm not expecting anything, The New expansion hasn't wowed me since they keep playing it safe every time, it's LITERALLY the same expansion with a different look and a different story. the only "New" stuff is a cross promo with That Fall Guy game and FF16, so expecting anything new at this point your either kidding yourself or really dumb.
The super silence is irritating. Wow devs gave us constant updates and ptr as they were re working specs nd classes. I don't love the ff14 devs communication
Tbf WoW literally announced a whole new Saga with their next three expansions. Meanwhile we barely know about Dawntrail's story, and we don't really know what the next saga of XIV is. It's a bit frustrating to lack info.
tbf at least ffxiv presents what little updates they give better than wow does. presentation is a big part and wow devs CAN NOT for the life of them present
@@benjimaxbobjohn tbh, neither can Yoshi. during the last 2 fanfest you got Yoshi just retelling what we know "new dungeons, new raids, new MSQ!" yeah, thanks, next! for their live letters he generally just sits there reading a sheet, not exactly presenting either. I really hope they upscale the content we get per patch this expansion, EW's content has been misserable, you literally log on, get the MSQ done in 2-3 hours (including trial and dungeon) then 1 lockout for the extreme and then maybe you got the raid series or another 45 minutes for the alliance raid.
If new job is not a caster, I'm done with FF XIV. Sick of melee. I'd love Time Mage (caster/support/buffer) or Oracle (caster/support/debuffer). I'm betting for Geomancer tho (basic list of spells/builders, spender changing based on floor type).
I think the new caster class will be called "Culinarian 2"
Damn strong, let him cook!
I think that’s just Julyan Manderville
Iron Chef confirmed
More likely "Magic Chef of Ice and Fire" ...
LB 3 Will be called "Let'em cook"
I’m in the camp that the second city is a major Hrothgar settlement. I feel like it’d make a very smooth transition to revealing female Hrothgar after talking about a big Hrothgar city.
i think its a mixed viera/hroth settlement

Being hybrid of cat and man they need 8 nipples!
And then they became by far the least played thing in the entire game! That said, Charr remain cooler than Hrothgar. Too bad Charr are attached to a horrendous cash shop simulator now.
Calling it now, the new 8-man raid will be blitzball.
So much excitement coming up! The FFXI raid was a huge surprise! I know we won't see much on the raid or the launch trailer if they follow the previous ones. But that 7.1 trailer should be amazing.
Was surprised we were getting another limited job but I will welcome more content. FFXIV still exciting 10 years later!
Can't wait to see the Hrothgals. I pray to Yoshi-P everyday that they don't have the hunched back.
They won't. There are already some pics of them from canon in paintings.
I on the other hand kind of do want them to retain the hunched back.

hmmm it would be interesting to see Garlemald Restoration, but story wise, i think it would probably look more like the Doma Restoration where we sell them goods, they just pay us. we don't really help them directly.
Didn't they also mention in the last Fanfest that they may have something to reveal about the Lifestyle content of Dawntrail?
Yea they said they specifically wanted to talk about it more at EU FanFest but had to delay talks to JP since it wasn't ready
Insert them adding a 'Preliminary Job Action Teaser', just to make EVERYONE upset.
I have seen so many job action trailers by this point, I know we still have to wait a while for those. But it is always something to look forward too. That said I am a bit scared, bc for me mnk after a long time is in a really good place right now, so hopefully they wont change too much.
I think the new caster class will be called "Mirage" and will be unique to FFXIV like Viper.
I would hope so but we also know yoshi p wants to do an original job and a ff job but i wouldnt be surprised if both are original it would be cool
Hopefully with heavy nature themes and dots
Why mirage?
lolmrg
@@RaddyC There's a lot of "duality" themes going on in DT with the mamoolja with two heads, the viper with two swords. So I just speculated what the duality of nature theme would be if the viper represented the jungle areas we've been shown, and the caster referenced the desert like area. Something closely associated with deserts are mirages. And coincidentally, the ninja turtles was originally published by mirage studios.
Team "Green Mage because turtles are green", get ready! 🐢
What if they announce playable Kojin, instead?
I feel like the raid will be FF5 related. With the mention of Galuf and being that Krile is supposed to be in this more if they arent main story related I can see it taking place in raid. Maybe even see Lenna and Bartz?
no thanks we already had omega. besides galuf is dead
Omega already had 5.
5,6,8 are out I think
Ff9 pls
I think the expansion will be based on FFX. I get huge Besaid vibes from the area
Though I highly doubt they'll risk it, I would be VERY interested in a new combat system. Just like the Ascient's saga had the Limit Break, they could add something new.
My personal desire would be a Stagger system. Not only would it make more dynamic encounters (because players would have the choice to stagger an enemy or not, possibly making the encounter last longer if they do albeit it helps us skip a specific mechanic designed to potentially be skipped) but it would also add more balance to the jobs by giving less DPSy jobs add something different in the jobs balance.
To further explain my thought, imagine that you fill a Stagger gauge by doing something that hurts your DPS OR that makes your rotation harder to maintain. For instance, we can imagine added positionals for melees and/or more buttons to press (we've roughly 10 free buttons for every job and these actions aren't mandatory anyway) and/or another gauge. It could also have mechanics of its own like Red Mage having a third mana colour managed by oGCDs : since they can't use them while casting, it will sometimes cost some DPS to choose to fill the stagger gauge (then it's up to the encounters' design to force a stagger-able mechanic earlier so that players are more or less incentivised to lose DPS) . Besides, tanks would have to use more support-y actions to fill the Stagger gauge, whereas healers would have a DPS rotation to follow (weak attacks leading to a powerful attacks but being too slow/inactive would make it less powerful than spamming their current damaging ability).
As for the encounters themselves, we can imagine several actions meant to be interrupted : a monster charging onto the raid or calling forth reinforcements, even puzzle-like mechanics especially the "tutorial" parts at the beginning of a fight. This way, confident groups could skip the "tutorial" by keeping their burst and filling the stagger gauge as quickly as possible to interrupt it ; then, the boss would speed things up resulting in a quicker enrage (imagine a 10min fight reduced to 7~8 minutes) . Also, while staggered, the boss would be vulnerable which is why bursting at this moment would be even more valuable especially if the team is well coordinated (able to align CDs and fill resources before, which should be the basics in a savage environment anyway) . Week 1 players would not rely on this however, because they wouldn't have enough equipment to clear the staggered encounter except if they stagger at the very end (where designers would not want any mechanic to be skipped) .
Do you think we might get a timeframe for the benchmark? that usually includes the newly announced race so you can play with the character creation settings for it.
The raids will be interesting, as I have absolutely no idea what they could go for, aside from a hypothetical 'Terra from FF9' situation, where we explore the heart of Eitherys.
A "Nature themed" job is right up my alley. My guess at this point is green mage or geomancer, but seeing as they surprised everyone with the new physical dps job it's really hard to say what they'll do this time. I will fall out of my chair if it's straight up called "Druid". I *love* druid classes.
And I agree with your hopes when it comes to how Fem Hrothgar will look like. It'd make sense they would have a more "sophisticated" air, but at the same time I really hope they keep most of their beastial features intact too. Frankly - Male Hrothar with feminine traits is really all I want, but the no slouch will be a huge bonus. If they nail it, I'm gonna have to make a tough decision because I love how my Viera WoL looks like right now.
It highly depends on what you mean by a "druid" class. Do you mean to metamorphose into animals just like a Summoner has a rotation made of several egis ? To have nature-based *animations* (regardless the gameplay) ? Do you want it to actually call for animal reinforcements (like pets ? or animations ?) or to have attacks that remind you of animals ?
A "druid" theme is so vague that you could even call the Viper a druid (since it's inspired by snakes and uses elemental (thunder) attacks).
I think it'll be named Green Mage, I think the clover is the clue there. But the mechanics of it will probably be all original.
@@futurepastnow We don't care about the name, we care about the gameplay. That's why so many people (if not almost everyone) were wrong about the melee job.
@@Namriel "Druid" isnt as vague as you think in the context of ffxiv, it would be more of an off shoot of conjuration magic with stone and wind. thunder is more associated with arcane magic, not nature magic. Jobs being inspired by animals also doesn't mean its druidic, dragoon has its whole dragon theme yet you wouldn't consider that a druid. If "druid" itself was in the game, it would most likely be a phase-based class, maybe like bard. Id assume youd be cycling through different animal transformations for a time for different buffs, debuffs, and damages.
@@jorgus1 A leading to B does not mean B leading to A. Also, if thunder were associated with arcane magic and not nature magic, then why would the Viper use thunderish attacks ?
Besides "phase-based" is relative to gameplay, not about the theme.
What I'm saying is that, if one decides that the next job is a druid, it doesnt actually tell us anything about the theme. And not much about the gameplay either : DRG's rotation could very well fit a Druid theme but SE decided not to.
Conversely one could decide that druidic powers are tied to animals, it's completely arbitrary (other games did so), especially since a new continent may mean new rules.
I'm also getting a vibe that the new offensive caster class will probably be nature based... as that really fits with the vibe of the new world setting. And i'm curious if our new Bun Boy Gleaner friend who has appeared in the trailer already might be it.. or it might even be Krile given her distinct lack of appearances in the trailer so far.. despite being kind of important in the lead up plot.
I don't have a source but I'm pretty sure they said at some point krile would be the caster rep
I find it funny that everyone uses Chel from the tactics gacha game as the default Green Mage for the thumbnail
Is there a cuter GNM?
It's a pretty minor gripe, but I kind of wish they didn't have a second city each expansion. It's a bit annoying that they split it between the useful vendors and the market board, and I think having one main hub with more players there would make it feel more alive. But again, pretty minor gripe.
Also, Time Mage!!!!
True, it makes absolutely no sense that Radz-at-han, the city of international trade, has no market board, but the isolationist Sharlayan does
As much as it doesn't make sense for Radz to not have a Market Board and Sharlayan does, the reason they do that is to separate Post-Content and Early-Content players (alongside story points).
@@Paraguai123 But why do that? It's not like the shout chats are used to make groups, because the party finder exists. All it does it make it feel like the game is more dead than it is for anyone who isn't end game yet when they're in the empty early city.
@@OldManInternet For the same reason they do a split quest that takes you to different areas at the very beginning of every expansion: to prevent funneling too many players into the same place all at once, for server stability reasons. Instancing areas helps, but even just making sure different groups of people have a reason to be in different places on launch day (or in the case of the main/side city split, launch week) eases things up by a lot.
Looking forward to femmgars though had a lot of fun watching the EU fan fest with friends trying to make every Segway about femmagrs/hrothgals. Guess we will se how much I get to do it before they reveal (tbf figured it’d likely be at the last one anyways). I always forget when the job action trailer happens so thanks for the reminder there. Otherwise looking forward to finally seeing the second job. Still hoping for some kind of pictomancer/something armed with a paintbrush but I’m fine if it’s not - would like it to have a unique weapon though if possible
I hope y'all having a great day.
I wonder if the 6.x void story will be related to any of Dawntrails' side content. If they want the 13th story to also involve Gaia and Unukailhai (which I hope they do) it cannot be MSQ so I'm looking at optional content instead. We still haven't heard about the raid series, the trial series, and they've been lowkey hinting new massive group battle content (next exploration zone?) though nothing officially announced. All potential candidates.
New caster … I would only see 3 choices if looked at Yoshi P’s T-Shirt
1. Green mage : for obvious reason like said in the video
2. Pictomancer : based on the TMNT names
3. Time Mage/Chronomancer : not really because of turtles in time but TMNT, The NT maybe referencing Viper based on sharing gear with Ninja and turtle being a lizard like a viper.. and TM for Time Mage.. maybe it’s a little farfetched but who knows
Although I admittedly find Pictomancer more likely than Time Mage, I do think the possibility of the latter is very real for a few reasons:
1) You see, TMNT had this little game called Turtles in Time, which is uhh... probably the most popular TMNT video game of all time and one of the most iconic beat'em ups in gaming history, lol. So yes, there IS a possible connection between the shirt and Time Mage there.
2) Time Mage would be THE perfect DoT mage to fill in the void left behind by old SMN, for obvious reasons (Damage over TIME). I also think abilities like Slow and Haste _can_ work in FF14. Slow 1 could increase one enemy's auto-attack delay (would also work on bosses). Slow 2 could simply apply Slow debuff in an AoE like Arm's Length (would only work on trash ofc) and it could even be a Slow 1 upgrade where the first enemy would get the AA delay (a separate debuff that bosses aren't immune) and everything in its radius the regular Slow debuff. Haste 1 could be the Time Mage's self buff, working like Ley Lines on BLM. Haste 2 could be a party buff where for Physical jobs it decreases auto-attack delay (basically a party Riddle of Wind) and for Magical jobs it reduces cast time (not recast though, that'd be a mess, lol). Unfortunately SCH already called dibs on a party sprint, otherwise that'd be the perfect Haste 2. Comet could be a powerful burst spell and Quick could be used to recast any spell that was just used without restrictions, preferably a powerful damage dealing one like Comet. Time Mage could have a teleport for movement that would work like Shukuchi. The possibilities are endless and I definitely think the job could be a solid and unique one.
3) Any concerns about Astrologian already having Time Mage abilities like Gravity could be resolved by making both jobs siblings, like SMN and SCH. So basically, they'd share some skills and would level at the same time, meaning Time Mage _could_ have Gravity as its AoE damage spell as well. Granted, SMN and SCH are tied together because of Arcanist, so they'd have to go a bit more out of the way to have AST and Time Mage have this interaction. That's of course assuming Gravity is not removed from AST's kit in the rework. If it is, then well, there you go, Time Mage could have exclusivity over Gravity and do whatever it wants with that ability.
Yeah totally agree on all the points said ! And if they go that road of reworking Astro completely by removing those time inspired spells it’s totally possible. I’m not even a caster main and I’m excited for the reveal.
I was just thinking of the origin of the job.. now we know we gonna have another Tural (new world) jobs with blue mage, I’m just curious to know where it’s gonna originate from. Green mage is Ivalice based if we look at pass FFs, but we still have nothing from Meracydia.. if anybody else have any other ideas I’m would love to know it
ppl rly expected to see job trailer already? that's wild... they literally release the new job trailer for all claases when the expansion is like, literally about to drop. the only trailer we will get is the new job and maybe a teaser for new limited job. theyre 100% still tweaking jobs
Ya know, I was running hero’s gauntlet the other day and you know how the enemies in that dungeon are jobs? Such as Spectral Dragoon or Spectral White Mage. Well there is a group of enemies called “Spectral Ink mage”. If they did pictomacer, do you think they would call it Ink Mage?
I doubt it, but that would be incredibly cool. Especially since they can go with an aquatic thing for it, being squids and all. Its main element could be water since that element is incredibly underutilized in this game. also the job name shortening being INK is nice. Hell, all that animal theming for both viper and this potential ink mage does pave the way for another potential beastmaster limited job.
My speculation is that Krile will be the new job user. I don't have any soild proof, I just think she deserves it, and makes her more interesting.
How does it make her any more interesting than her current job?
She will. She’s the one that got the green mage medal.
@@zedorian6547... Use your imagination
I belive Yoshida already gave an interview roughly around the time of 6.1 or 6.2 that already confirmed Krile is changing jobs and getting a new outfit. So this comment is a little moot. Your "speculation" was already confirmed months and months and months ago.
@@garmmermibe5397 just let him have it dude.. poor guy..
Do you think we get the new Limited Job revealed? Blue Mage was announced before Shadowbringers launched, so I wonder if we'll get the same here.
people get disappointed (or absurdly angry ) because they don't like to use their brains. So someone trying to set those expectations right is almost a PSA.
(and no, afaik MrHappy is not part of the dev team so these are all probabilities, high or low, not certainties. And even if he was part of it, he'd be under NDA and would not be allowed talk about those things)
I know what I hope DOESN'T happen to the female Hrothgar: that they get the female Au Ra treatment. You know, where the females are literally almost, if not exactly, half the height of the males. Some female Au Ra actually look like jailbait, and after seeing the concept for them before they were released, it made me sad that we didn't get their original design.
I'm hoping for Pictomancer, or something like it. Given the massive hint that we got at the end of 6.5, however--and if it's not a fake out--I can see us getting Green Mage. Honestly, I'm most excited for the caster job and the female Hrothgar. I've been waiting for them since the male Hrothgar's initial release. I just have a thing for beast gals.
I feel like they MIGHT mention some GENERAL broad brush-strokes of AST/DRG changes, and then EXTREMELY general things on some other Jobs (e.g. "everyone will have new actions") that reveal effectively nothing. I think there have been some cases in the past where Jobs had major reworks that they kind of gave some general overview of in advance, though I can't remember if it was fanfest or liveletter, it still seems there might be SOME hope there. But yeah...probably won't be as much as people would like to see.
They’re gonna reveal that every Scholar fairy is getting a gun
I'm going to bet the Heroines of XI will play a part in the XI raids.
Thank you for this! ♥
I'm lucky enough to be able to go to the Tokyo Fan Festival. I can't wait!
They will announce that Tanaka will direct Echoes of Vana'diel :)
My only hope is that next expansion the 8-man raids are handled much better. First tier was really solid, but second and third were fun to prog at best, absolutely awful at worst. P10S being the only exception, imo. Reclears are not fun at all in tier 2/3, and I hope they address that. Eden had a couple problems, but I felt reclears weren't really one of them save for Shiva but that's Lights Rampant. For Pande, its both people failing to reclear, and fights just dragging on and on, Hi P7S and P11S.
Only other thing I want announced is better Relic Weapon grind. I give Mandy weapons some slack as Covid no doubt hurt EW development (It did hit about six months after ShB launched) but still, the grind is unrewarding compared to StB, ShB or even HW, though the second to last step can bite me.
Yeah I've really been missing the ability to work on Relics together with friends, like we could with Bozja or Eureka, even if those modes aren't perfect.
I know *technically* most content that gives the right tomes counts as part of the grind.
In practice, if everything is the Relic Grind, it means nothing is the Relic Grind. Practically it's just same old Roulettes as before.
I just save up meteors and only spend them if I need to. Very boring.
That’s exactly what I want from Fem-Hrothgar. I still want them to be big furry muscle. But actually stand up straight and just generally appear larger. Not Au Ra size difference, but at least a head taller between Max Male and Min Female
They dont need to be taller, just have a stronger showing of confidence.
With the rework of astro and the direction they went with sch I am guessing time or chemistry mage
we need green mage for the full rgb spectrum kekw
But then we'll also need Yellow Mage for full CMYK
Or rather, blu-ver-yel-blk
@@Nazuikoyellow isn’t an existing spectrum of coloured Mage though.
I at least hope the pre-orders go live after the fanfest. I'd like to knock that out first before buying Under Night Inbirth 2 (another game I'm looking forward to)
My Dragoon-maining derriere is anxious.
I just want to see female Hrothgar. I'm more excited for that than the new caster at this point
They have to give Viera hats! The job of Viper has a cowl for a reason. Hats for bunnies at last!
I always just forget when the job action trailers are.
There's that one clip of a large in eprson crowd cheering for paladin gap closer for shadowbringers and knowing now it wasnt from a fanfest job action trailer I need to know where that came from.
I believe it was the shadowbringers Seoul fanfest in Korea, which aired a few months after shadowbringers released since their servers are behind
The new caster will be Blitzballer and Mr. Happy will be on seppuku watch as Krile performs the Jecht Shot on a Goobue. 😂
She will never be ballin’
@@Gloomdrake Are you saying Lalafells can't jump?
@@SniperKing-O are you calling me a liar?
We will probably see some job actions with that trailer they do that is the one they use to let you see how well your cars outer can run the game. We saw holy Shelltron early with it for Endwalker
As much as i know it'll be ages i'm super keen to see the teaser for the next ultimate
At a glance, the new melee DPS seems a little underwhelming or same-y... I was hoping for something more unique. I thought it would be awesome to have a class that's kind of like Firion, where they have a different type of weapon for different reasons and one huge attack that uses all of them at once/in succession. Maybe the caster will be more interesting.
Have they announced any new housing plans ?
Why is this the 3rd and last fan festival?
I'm pretty sure we're going to Merecydia in this expansion as well.
I mostly think this because that's the last thing that Emet-Selch foreshadowed.
When is the JP fanfest?
January 7-8th
I miss 11 always wanted to finish my apocalypse
Mr Happy looks so cute now, holy cow
When is the fanfest?
that thumbnail casts provoke
My wish is that the caster will be Gambler.
What I don’t wish is green mage for caster, we don’t need another class that’s similar to another when viper seems like ninja 2.0 already if it’s a buffer. If it’s a Druid style class I would be ecstatic. No buff/debuffer please. Dots sure.
I reckon (hopium) we'll see femhroth at the JP fanfest. Even more hopium, they'll be more bestial than neko (more actual femhroth than looking like a slightly more muscly miqo)
i am really excited to learn the new class, and while people have been speculating, i really am throwing my hat into it being another original class. the New Limited class i do have a more focused thought on with it being a class from other FF games.
New job is time mage. I’ve already told yoy
The new limited job should be revealed, too, no?
Maybe look like cheetara from thundercats
I really want Green Mage to be a support magic DPS similar to Dancer with lower personal DPS but higher party DPS. Give them buffs and debuffs with cooldowns, some kind of unique mechanic to maintain their buffs and debuffs and give them DoTs as their damage abilities to tick all the boxes.
Chell? do you play FFBE WOTV?
Since green mage doesn’t work in ffxiv because of the buffs and debuff playstyle could it be that green mage is the new limited job? And the new magical job is something completely different?
it would become a DoT class probably, to fill the gap left when they reworked summoner
@@yeoldpubmanThey won`t make a dot-job since the devs hate designing encounters around that sort-of tickdamage.

January is too dang long from now, man
I must be the only person who didn't think or see anything related to Hrothgar at all when it came to those feet, because they firmly looked hyuran to me. There was *nothing* about them that stood out and said "These are the feet of a Hrothgal" that I could see.
Really hoping I can cop that physical collector's edition before it sells out
I always hated the hunch on Hrothgars. I hope the females don't have it as well.
I just want to see Hrothgals and i hope they aren't fugly and i hope they aren't hunchbacks. 🤞🤐
What do you mean its the final fan fest? like for ff14 as a whole?
For the next expansion there are 3 Fan-fests, one in North America, one in Europe and the final fan-fest of the 3 will be in Japan. Presumably there will be more fan-fests come next expansion.
No, it's the final fanfest leading into Dawntrail, just like all the other expansions had a first and final fanfest. Usually but not always 3 per expansion.
I’ll just end up disappointed if I start speculating so I’ll just wait for info
This is the way
Do you think that the story will be separated? As is currently, my friends are having a big barrier to go through to even reach endgame ( around 300 hours of story ). I think its too much
Doubtful, but story skips are available. Level skips if you'd rather just breeze through everything before current expansion.
They said that at one point they will make an alternative startingpoint available and that they want that to be 7.0 (so people don`t have to play through 5 expansions worth of content just to play with their friends in a new expansion) but it won`t be with the 7.0 release. My guess is that will come with 8.0 (with the next statsquish as the numbers currently are already approaching the niveau we had during 5.2 (this is simple speculation based on the logic of "numbers too big")presented in 5.55) or 8.3/8.5 when EW will be made part of the freetrial.
I'm hoping for some kind of tech caster. like, it could be Green Mage but I really want it to be some kind of tech. Maybe merge green mage with puppet master, maybe a caster in a mech.
That sounds like a magic version of the Chocobo Knight.
As a recovered FFBE WotV addict. Seeing Chel on your thumbnail almost gave me PTSD lol. Don't play the FF gachas folks. They're the worst.
Hopefully Green Mage is actually a unique class, and not just a gimped/worse red mage.
Why would it be gimped or worse? Makes no sense.
@@SPB___ that's what Green Mage has always been. Heck, in order to give Green Mage any identity, they had to take away some spells from White and Black just to give them to Green instead of coming up with new spells.
There will be a rework on Deep Dungeon, I hope that they remake Deep Dungeon to be a Mithyc+ like, M+ is a huge and fun content, plz Yoshida!
man i really wish ff11 was on mobile or an offline version existed
I can’t see me staying subscribed until September (which I’m sure it’s gonna slip to) which means bye bye my house. Thanks Yoshi
Yep, a lot of people are going to cancel their sub to right before DT release, losing their house in the process and then whining about it.
honestly, i'm only logging on for Deep Dungeon and ultimate raids, other than that i'm not playing this game at all, I hope they do something between now and DT's release, because still 6-9 months away is crazy long.
Valeria
would be nice to get a new phys ranged dps 😮💨
I really hope they wont mess with AST too much and make it a braindead job like SMN... the only reason why I enjoy healing rn is bc of AST and the difference betweeen the other healers...
I've only been playing for about a year, but I looked in to old classes and how they were changed, and they really do seem hell bent on just making them more braindead with each change. AST isn't even difficult, it's just a lot to juggle. FFS I play with controller and my only issue is getting dropped inputs.
They gonna fix Purify ? They should try fixing broken things before coming out with new stiff.
What's wrong with purify?
Female Hrothgar or riot.
I hope female hrothgar arent grown up miqos tbh i do hope they kind of keep them more towards male hrothgars and not make them more human like
Nothi g new in this horrible mmo the game goes downhill lolololololol
Who are we REALLY kidding here? it's the same script, same formula. we're not getting anything really new, so i'm not expecting anything, The New expansion hasn't wowed me since they keep playing it safe every time, it's LITERALLY the same expansion with a different look and a different story. the only "New" stuff is a cross promo with That Fall Guy game and FF16, so expecting anything new at this point your either kidding yourself or really dumb.
The same expansion, except for the story and the location. So, aside from everything that makes it a new expansion. Nice take bro.
Found the butt-hurt wow player.
The super silence is irritating. Wow devs gave us constant updates and ptr as they were re working specs nd classes. I don't love the ff14 devs communication
Tbf WoW literally announced a whole new Saga with their next three expansions.
Meanwhile we barely know about Dawntrail's story, and we don't really know what the next saga of XIV is.
It's a bit frustrating to lack info.
tbf at least ffxiv presents what little updates they give better than wow does. presentation is a big part and wow devs CAN NOT for the life of them present
@@benjimaxbobjohn tbh, neither can Yoshi.
during the last 2 fanfest you got Yoshi just retelling what we know "new dungeons, new raids, new MSQ!" yeah, thanks, next!
for their live letters he generally just sits there reading a sheet, not exactly presenting either.
I really hope they upscale the content we get per patch this expansion, EW's content has been misserable, you literally log on, get the MSQ done in 2-3 hours (including trial and dungeon) then 1 lockout for the extreme and then maybe you got the raid series or another 45 minutes for the alliance raid.
If new job is not a caster, I'm done with FF XIV. Sick of melee.
I'd love Time Mage (caster/support/buffer) or Oracle (caster/support/debuffer). I'm betting for Geomancer tho (basic list of spells/builders, spender changing based on floor type).
well you dont have to worry for long, it was outright stated one was a magical and one was melee (viper).
Geomancer is literally in the game, its called Conjurer. Or Astro, but astro doesnt use Aero/Stone
They literally have said it's a caster.
Bruh, it's been confirmed for months and months that it's a caster. They explicitly stated it in the first fanfest. Wat r u on about?
I'm sorry I'm not following FF XIV this close. I'm just another FF Fan (the franchise itself, not the MMO). Thanks tho! @@garmmermibe5397
or a druid or a dragon knight
hope new magic dps is heavily support based. Like party buffs by some kind of ground target totem-like battle pet
