>The game is releasing weeks after Japanese Fanfest not months>The game is split between two locations. "Blindfrost" a frozen north region that extends the map upward where a mysterious power is causing creatures to grow into larger more monstrous forms not unlike tural vidral and "Hingashi"/"Koshu" an isolationist nation east of Othard that have opened their borders after the crowning of a new emperor after the previous died under mysterious circumstances>Two new Jobs>Shogun: a spear/halberd and giant fan using Tank job with a focus on anti physical defence and issuing skills called "commands" that buff the party or debuff enemies>Geomancer: a bell/hammer using Healer job that drops totems that ring like bells or windchimes to echo spells cast in their vacinity or follow a healers melee martial arts with a healing aoe>No new playable race but added customisation options for existing races not all will be in at launch.>No new job like BLU/BST>Across the board Job revamps to cut down on button bloat and reduce some meter stuff for some classes. Monk and Scholar redesigned from the ground up>Promo art includes Erenville, Yugiri, the Scions, a new Au Ra character and two hooded men back to back. One dressed in traditional japanese imperial court robes and the other in a inuit style furs and leathers outfit.>Announcement trailer will be at the Fanfest in Anaheim California.>Koji Fox is back as lead translator>Preorders get you a wind up Aerith and a White Materia Chime for GEO
>more of my wifei wish i could believe you
>>719392927Got mogged by Yotsuyu bigly.
>>719392526imagine still playing this skinner box
fuck it, not like we have anything better to doEASTWOLVES
>>719393469BEASTWOLVES
>>719393469Technically Hingashi is west of Tural. So it's still Westwolves. We just didn't go West enough.
>>719392526>>>/lgbt/>>>/trash/>>>/vg/
>>719393795Someone has a legit leak and you're janny miming?
Schizo talk but i'd like to believe we get Stormblood 2
>>719392526>Something in the north mutating creatures>Thats where Ultima fell from space>Geomancer related to the earth and the lifestream>Aerith and White MateriaHave they finally bit the bullet and we are getting a Jenova expansion?
>>719393838>legit leak>two new jobs are tank/healer
>>719394057>heavensward: tank and healer and dps>stormblood: 2 dps>shadowbringers: tank and dps>endwalker: healer and dps>dawntrail: 2 dps>???: tank and healerIts not that unusual. We have had a shitton of dps in recent years and healers in particular have been very vocal they want more variety and yoshi has commented on a new tank job which we havent had since shadowbringers 6 years ago.
>>719394259DPS are the only jobs capable of being interesting, they'd never release an expansion without one because everyone would be bored.
>>719394367beastmaster is coming in 7.5 to keep the mouthbreathers occupied.
>>719393971> jenova expacOh my goodness it'll be so so...so tragic when charisma-black-hole yshtola finally dies for real.So sad.Really so just terribly awful.
>>719392526>>Shogun: a spear/halberd and giant fan using Tank job with a focus on anti physical defence and issuing skills called "commands" that buff the party or debuff enemiesWhat a cool premise, i surely bet it wont play like a generic ass.
>>719394572Oh no *marries daughter-wife instead*
>>719392526>Koji Fox is back as lead translatorthis makes the "leak" false, they will never get rid of kate
>>719392526You're a retarded faggot for typing all this fanfiction garbageI'm only here because you used Maia from Mobius as the thread picture and I miss that game
>>719393971>Jenova expansionWhat like actually Jenova? I can't believe how badly written XIV is in general but I guess the only way to make it worse would be to involve the FF7R retards
>>719394746Dawntrails done so poorly that shareholders have openly asked about it at meetings and the latest Rising event ingame has Yoshi talking about needing to relearn lessons, remember humility and fix things. She is not protected like she once was.
>revamp to simplify buttons and meters on SCHHow? It's like two buttons already.
>>719394794>What like actually Jenova?is this a serious question after we JUST beat up NECRON?
>>719394259No it’ll be tank and phys ranged bc OP is lying
>>719393838>legitlollmao even
>>719394806>relearn lessons, remember humility and fix things>square enix
Deleting bloodwhetting is the only thing that can save the game
>>719394794In the Ivalice raid series it is revealed Ultima was neither goddess nor angel but a species of cosmic parasites that fell on worlds across the universe to consume their aether.In the Pandamonium raid series it is revealed they are the source or connected to the origins of the auracite like the heart of sabiksomething fell from the stars to form a giant crater in the north and since the endwalker patch content we have been dealing with animals turning into large mutant versions which are more common the further you go north.The implication fans take is that there is a jenova esque ultima prime in some northern meteor crater that creates auracite and just as it can turn a bangaa into a dragon it is twisting the wildlife into monstrous forms and is probably the actual source of the tural vidral similar to how mako was turning people into monsters in FF7. The key being the Endsinger killed all the other Ultimas but thanks to Zodiark the ones on Eitherys survived and Hydaelyn's stasis was probably holding the northern ones power in check till we killed her.
>>719394895>physical ranged ever happening againYour gear aesthetic is already fucked beyond believe. its joever for you.
>>719392526But a Monk rework happens every expansion....
>>719395370Bold of you to assume any of us play Monk to know that lmaooooo
>>719394993>the actual source of the tural vidralI always got that the implication for the tural vidraal was that they were auspices that couldn't balance/burnoff their aratimama (primalness), so they're in full rage mode.
>>719394993>thanks to Zodiark the ones on Eitherys survived and Hydaelyn's stasis>Venat casually forgetting there is a world ending calamity that can mutate monsters, that she was keeping checks on.I don't even mind the plot hole as long as we get away from Solution 9 and "modern" era.
>>719395490The Yok Huy explain the first appeared in the north which was why the originally only lived in the south and have been getting larger and more aggressive over time. Then you have 7.1 where the big vinegaroon knock off came from futher north to attack the rhoneek and when we went to the isle of haam there was the giant colibri and the bear with crystals growing out of it that matched valigarmanda.
>>719395490That sounds like something that would've been cool to explore in the Tural expansion, in like a patch or the Viper job quest, as some sort of "world building" evenOh well, time to talk to Wuk Lamat
>>719395720Oh neat. It'd be cool if it a Jenova-like happens, but I don't think they were planning that far ahead, so I doubt it was cryptic hints for the next expansion(s).Considering how much shit they make up on the fly, and admitted to it, I basically ignore anything early on in DT.>>719395895It was mentioned in passing, it just didn't have 2 quests of dialog dedicated to over-explain it an tell it to your face.
>>719395974Yoshi has said they are currently planning the overarching plot to 10.0 right now. They don't have a deep production bible for years in advance but they do have the core concepts a few expansions in advance.If you go back and look as far bas as Shadowbringers the two themes they keep pushing are "something fucked up is in the frozen north turning animals into monsters" and "memory is seperate from the soul and can exist without it".
>>719396112>"memory is seperate from the soul and can exist without it".>"as far back as Shadowbringers"what? am i retarded? what are you talking about?
>>719396112>"memory is seperate from the soul and can exist without it"wasn't the whole deal with Elidibert and the star shower the complete opposite?
was there anything interesting in the pax panel?
>>719396220>Shadowbringers: Emets memories of the past were flawed and twisted his remembering of Amourot.>Shadowbringers Patch Content: Elidibus has been slowly losing his memories and all thats left is the soul engraved with the summoning commands of Zodiark and doesnt know why he is doing what he is doing but he swore something to... to someone. He did!>Endwalker: When souls return to the livestream soul and memory seperate over time and anything you forgot in life comes rushing back to you for some reason. >Endwalker Patch content: the contramemoria and how voidsent consume each other and absorb their memories>Dawntrail: a young genius discovers that the soul can be store and memory can be seperated from it to create the endless>Dawntrail patch content: said genius was working with a group called the Winterers that include at least one ascian who had some magic to insert memories into peopleThey have been pushing memory manipulation for years. If its true Ishikawa is writing 8.0 i wouldn't be shocked if we get a twist that some event happened totally different to what we think happened because our memories have been tampered with.
Wasn't Shogun already confirmed by Yoshi a while back and people got mad saying Samurai already existed?
>>719392526>Shogun: a spear/halberd and giant fan using Tank job with a focus on anti physical defence and issuing skills called "commands" that buff the party or debuff enemiesCould bring me back, ngl
>>719396924Ah he's mentioned was the storyline idea of being a Shogun taking place in a war for the remaining of Hingashi areas, since we've only seen one place properly, Kugane (technically 2 with Mount Rokkon).It's funny, because it would basically be what Dawntrail didn't do to avoid being offensive to the "Latinx": A foreigner becoming a person of authority and being the white savior.
>>719397625>Limit Break has him sit in a chair and just tell the boss to eat shit and ignores the raid wipe move.
>>719397949>"white" saviourmaybe for you hyur trash but this viera shogun will be claiming many hingashi brides.
>>719397949Might be easier for them to do from a Japanese perspective. Sounds similar to what Koei did with Nioh.
>>719398104Pretty much boils down to "this is our culture and we're not offended so we'll do what we want".
>>719396220That goes back way further than shadowbringers, it exists in the stormblood BLM quests
GIVE ME HOT ONI CHICKS GOD DAMN IT
>>719398051Whatever you have to tell yourself, little dude
>>719394993>Hydaelyn's stasis was probably holding the northern ones power in check till we killed herShe would have warned you
>>719394746She fucked up by retweeting a series of tweets about purging alt-right people and the Japanese police on her work account. There is still a lot of noise about that on the official forums, and Uematsu's fav singer Susan Calloway was cancelled for far less.
>>719392526>buff/debuff classlmao literally never ever
>Panicks and combines edowanking and ff7 to get back the domestic audience.Sorry SAMshitters, look at me, i'm the daimyo now.
>>719392526This is real by the way. My cousin Yoshi works on this game sometimes.
>>719398320>and Uematsu's fav singer Susan Calloway was cancelled for far less.This needs to be brought up more and properly documented. Very people people know about this and never realized she hasn't been at a Distant Worlds since.
>>719397949I like the idea of being a Hingan Daimyo but I would rather it be in some sort of spinoff game so they can really let you play around with who you recruit to get involved, let players import their XIV character as a second in command if they want
>>719398410i just want a single player game set on the first as the new warriors of light post 6.3
>>719394815outside of their damage, dont SCH have the most buttons. For occult tower jobs, I had to add a 4th line and hot key Alt 1-12. As I already have 1-12, Shift 1-12 ,and ctrl 1-12 full of SCH abilities.
>>719398320>Susan Calloway was cancelled for far lessThat's because Susan's actions were in the wrongthinkKate's posts won't be considered wrongthink and she won't be touched
>>719396220This >>719396395 The old professor in Endwalker says the opposite: memory is impressed upon the soul, and some core memories are so strong they can survive even in the aetherial sea/once someone is reborn. See the WoL who still acts like Azem and the people crying (and some even unlocking the Amaurotines' "Echo") when they see falling stars.
>>719398574Japanese youth are going extremely hard right wing lately and they got wind of it and they have that specific woman hating only asian men have like the south koreans and are calling for her blood.
>yoshi makes his regulrly scheduled 'pls tone it down with the mod stuff guise' post>also just flat out mentions the game's budget is so tight, they wouldn't even be able to keep the servers running with sub money alone. They need the cashshop too. this is actually fucking grim.
>>719398654Japanese youth will soon be culturally enriched by africans so that won't matter much
>>719398654nta but it doesn't matter if all of japan goes full chud, kate is employed by SE and SE has gone all in on woke shit. They would rather go bankrupt than kick someone like her out.
>>719398662>also just flat out mentions the game's budget is so tight, they wouldn't even be able to keep the servers running with sub money alone. They need the cashshop too.Someone needs to teach square the fable of the goose that laid golden eggs.it's depressing to watch.
>>719398714It does to shareholders. The whole reason ARR was allowed to be greenlit was after the disastrous Decade of Lightning little kids polled by Famitsu only knew of Final Fantasy as a rythm game series on the DS and the at the time C suite freaked the FUCK out and gave Yoshi the keys to the kingdom.They are terrified of the youth once again losing interest or turning on the brand. 7R showed they can't milk 40 year old millenials like when they were teens.
>>719392526>Promo art includes ErenvilleI realise all these kind'a leaks are fake, but man does this piss me off.>Practically every attractive female character added gets either killed or unceremoniously shipped off>Meanwhile there's a constant stream of handsome fujobait men as permanent party membersFuck Erenville, he's been around for two expansions and he hasn't been interesting in either of them. Leave him in Tural.I'll be very glad if Yugiri does return though.

>>719398574Yeah, but it's still unprofessional as fuck. Not only she uses her work account to talk about political stuff, but she also openly argues with fans, dismissing their worries, calling them out, and pretending she actively works on the development of the game, and not just on its localization. She was also friends with two voice actors who were later cancelled for asking nude pictures to minors (met through Sena). I remember she and Sena constantly cheered for them and interacted with them, then pretended they didn't know them when shit hit the fan.Had she been working for a European company, she would have been kicked out after the first passive aggressive tweet directed at fans. No idea what the idiots at Square Japan are doing, to be honest, Japanese laws and customs are even stricter for this kind of bullshit.
>>719398907Do you think Fourchanholt lies awake at night knowing the moment shes legal the WoL will be busting that hymen wide open wether they want to or not?
>>719398903They can comment on western stupidity all they like but they always bow down and kneel when westerners give them money
>>719399008>She was also friends with two voice actors who were later cancelled for asking nude pictures to minors (met through Sena). I remember she and Sena constantly cheered for them and interacted with them, then pretended they didn't know them when shit hit the fan.If this is true I hope it's documented.
>>719399021>but they always bow down and kneel when jews give them moneyFTFY
>>719398827>muh shareholders If western companies still fall for woke shit, what makes you think the japs will fare any better? japan is at least a decade behind. When the shareholders ask ceo-san why shit isn't making money, they'll just find a scapegoat >annnooooooooooooooooooooooooo covidu And on the off chance someone actually mentions the woke shit, the ceo will just regurgitate the cherry picked, biased studies and botted engagement numbers that were prepared for him by the DEI consultant that show the modern audience is totally real.
