[marble grove]

we don't see her but based on the screenshots the shot of the key could be when we're with her in S9

[dawn urchin]

I think its going to be that bunny boy

I forgot hes name

[valid solar]

excuse you his name is fuzzy bunbun

[wicked delta]

Erenville?

[dawn urchin]

Yeah

[wicked delta]

Idk he can barely fight tho

Bro peaces out as soon as something starts

[dawn urchin]

Let him learn

[wicked delta]

I mean I wouldn’t complain about it at all

Its more like idk if they would actually do that w/ his character

[amber fable]

Exposition dump

[random needle]

Maybe he'll pick up a combat job in 9.0

[valid solar]

it would be pretty funny if they gave him a new explorer fit and then immediately changed him to wear a new jobs AF armor

[wicked delta]

The main cast needs more melanin

Add him pls

[valid solar]

why are you trying to make ffxiv woke /s

[visual geyser]

He’s not a fighter

[wicked delta]

Y’shtola has been carrying this department and they have been making her whiter every expansion

[visual geyser]

Don’t force him to hurt things smh

[wicked delta]

😭

[amber fable]

Not enough sunlight

Need to get her grilled

[valid solar]

did y'shtola use to be tan in ARR or something I actually dont remember

[wicked delta]

Slightly more tan than now yeah

[amber fable]

She was slightly darker

[valid solar]

ah so she got hit by the one piece effect

[wicked delta]

Yeah basically

😭

[amber fable]

Robin be like

She got mj'ed

[valid solar]

apparently the original anime designs made the characters darker skinned than they actually were, so the timeskip is just them correcting to be closer to the manga, but imo a lot of them looked better with the tan

[amber fable]

Tbf a pirate will be tan

Guess devil fruit gives spf too

[wicked delta]

Robin used to look so good

😔

[valid solar]

I do think the old design was a lot hotter

[visual geyser]

Ussop is lighter than franky now

[valid solar]

putting the skin color thing aside, oda never shouldve gotten rid of the bangs

[visual geyser]

Well

Funny you say that lol

||she brings them back this arc||

[wicked delta]

Forehead so shiny im being blinded

[dapper moon]

Blinded by her massive brain

[valid solar]

ah, I havent really been caught up with one piece in a while, but the current arc is || elbaf || right ? I saw || imu's design, looked pretty cool ||

[wicked delta]

The thin ass eyebrows too oh lord

[visual geyser]

Yep

There’s a story reason why she does it too it’s a really great moment

I can finally get the hellhound armor

Life is good man

[timber stratus]

old robin my queen...

Zoro was way cooler with the bandana but they gave him huge honkers so its forgiven

[amber fable]

Everyone got boob job

Post time skip

[timber stratus]

true

i think the only character im hoping gets killed at some point is sanji

cannot stand that character ever

freak

[loud nymph]

Aw you had me imagining a timeskip in FFXIV and urianger with massive balongaholadongas

[timber stratus]

maybe thats revealed today

the keynote is how many years and what their new measurements are

[lyric summit]

https://www.twitch.tv/narrlocke keynote leak

[wicked delta]

Is that allowed

[timber stratus]

ill allow it

[random needle]

That sounds... illegal

[loud nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-court-im-going-to-gif-18137386

[lyric summit]

where's the rules channel

[random needle]

But also why the fuck would you leak something 4 hours before the actual announcement

[tulip anvil]

impatience

[valid solar]

is it actually

[lyric summit]

how am i supposed to know

[timber stratus]

probably ai

[valid solar]

actually no how would the keynote even leak

[loud nymph]

what if it's just a mrbeast scam

[lyric summit]

theres ppl setting up the venue doing tests of the screens and shit

bottom left

[loud nymph]

In the form of a keynote leak

[valid solar]

oh shit

[dapper zealot]

oh I didn't even notice that lmao

[valid solar]

guess we'll see

[lost sinew]

did anyone else get a dm from yoshi-p offering free mr beast bucks. or was it just me.

[visual geyser]

Oh

[timber stratus]

no i got that too

[lost sinew]

i'm gonna be rich...

[dapper zealot]

wtf

[visual geyser]

Oh damn riiip

[dapper zealot]

stop hogging it all

[timber stratus]

the mr beast coins are all mine

[lost sinew]

redistribution of mister beast bucks for the masses

we have nothing to lose but our chains

[dapper zealot]

we will spare you the guillotine

[lost sinew]

🫡

[valid solar]

when are you showing us your mr breasts john honkers

[timber stratus]

[dapper zealot]

john badonkers

[wicked delta]

[kindred bison]

https://tenor.com/view/mine-blue-archive-virtual-insanity-rearranging-furnitures-bandi-gif-9254029450481079265

leaks?

[dusk sky]

[lyric summit]

possible expansion name/logo in narrlocke strim

[dusk sky]

To be expected since they would be physically preparing for the keynote, but yeah, can also just wait another 2 and a half hours

[lyric summit]

but eh could be ai or fanmade or could be real

[kindred bison]

no point in banning over it anyways

cause it's literally in a few hours

though if you do

you're gonna be muted for the entire keynote

[dusk sky]

Everybody wants to be the next Blufever

[kindred bison]

i'd make sure whoever it is gets laughed at the entire time cause it'd be pointless to spoil something within hours of its actual announcement

[dusk sky]

And ya’know, given the nature of previous teaser trailers and announcements, …how would you get a slide of just the logo

Like Dawntrail’s is at the very end of it,

[onyx crane]

Where leak

[lyric summit]

it looks like something they'd put up on screens when there's no stage events happening

just visual filler

[dusk sky]

The leak is this soaked cloth that will put you to sleep for exactly 2 hours and 24 minutes

Right, and I feel like they don’t typically do that with the straight and simple logo

Like add a color splash or whatever parchment texture they’re doing the slide show on

[lyric summit]

bad for promo

need new product logo in the background of every photo

like i could see it being fake ofc

but it looks pretty convincing to me

[random needle]

AI imagegen has gotten upsettingly good in the last few years

[dapper zealot]

^^ which is why I hate 'ai looks bad' as an argument, cause sure it can and does, but in another 5 years it'll be extremely difficult to identify it

[amber fable]

Ai info wars

[lyric summit]

the image is also like. 128p

[random needle]

Make something plausibly conceivable, then blur the image into a background shot and shrink it down in the corner of a stream, where compression might blur mistakes further, and it wouldn't be that hard to fake it

[lyric summit]

if it was 4k hd masterpiece high resolution i'd be more sus

[onyx crane]

Yo give me that rn I'll take it

Also isn't the keynote in 3h17mins

[lyric summit]

ye

[onyx crane]

Or am I doing timezones wrong

[dusk sky]

Oh yeah I missed an hour

God wish I could I miss 3 more hours

[onyx crane]

Put some more liquid on the cloth

[dapper zealot]

also quite a lot of anti ai people are frothing at the mouth at everything now without understanding stuff, like a lot of actual artists getting falsely accused

[dusk sky]

Run into a brick wall at the exact velocity to clock out til 10am PDT

[amber fable]

Do some prog..keynote will start by the time party forms

[dusk sky]

Plus, they’re streaming from the game, prerecorded or did someone send them the image etc etc

[onyx crane]

Lmfao I've been progging TOP I'd still be waiting for a party by the time the keynote ends

[dusk sky]

https://tenor.com/view/detective-creep-search-look-gif-5089668

[lyric summit]

supposedly he was sent it by someone else

i dont think he's at fanfest

[dusk sky]

Imma do gacha dailies, in slo-mo

[dapper zealot]

what other info will the keynote give after the trailer?

[dusk sky]

Based on previous NA fanfests, vague slides about MSQ and previews of three zones, using concept arts and a few early screenshots

Plus learning if, say, the level cap is raising to 110 or not

[kindred bison]

i honestly hope we just keep the cap at 100

[dusk sky]

Maybe a “NEW THREATS” slide, which after EW and DT can be pretty vague too

[lyric summit]

vague confirmation of unspecified genres of content that will be included like 8man/24man raids and dungeons

[kindred bison]

and have some other way to level

[random needle]

DT New Threats had Valigarmanda and the screaming Alexandria robot, right?

[lyric summit]

but if this supposed to be a revolutionary fanfest entering a new era of ffxiv (sure buddy) it's hard to tell what to expect

[dusk sky]

At first fanfest I believe it was Vali, but don’t quote me on that one

But yeah like EW’s was Magus Sisters and Anima

[craggy marsh]

I was too excited to sleep last night

[dusk sky]

[craggy marsh]

It cold out here this morning

[dapper zealot]

I'm gonna pull an all nighter

[dusk sky]

I’m a special type of stupid that specifically misses British words like don’t or can’t

The fingies move faster than the thoughts

British?

Okay.

[craggy marsh]

Fortunately I got food before joining the masses so I wont have to worry about going hungry

[loud nymph]

Yeah I'm pretty sure we found out about Vali at NA fanfest

[dusk sky]

I can’t even remember what it was suppose to be

Like Eliminator was announced next to Shaaloani at EU then, i assume?

Stupid censored dome concept art

[loud nymph]

that feels right

I think EU fanfest was also when we got the first shot of s9

[dusk sky]

Oh yeah, first town should be announced today as well then

Sharlayan, Tuliyollal,

[random needle]

In fairness, if they showed any of the actual trials for EW, that'd be a huge spoiler

[lyric summit]

midgar surely

[dusk sky]

Rabanastre

[lyric summit]

ala mhigo (but inside)

[dusk sky]

Or Lea Monde or Valnain or Corvos (the City)

I believe

[dapper zealot]

nah we going west shroud

[random needle]

Garlemold, the Garlean capitol's twin city that was untouched by the rioting and final days and was unmentioned until now

[dusk sky]

Next expac is gonna be throws dart at map

[lyric summit]

i could see a splinter of garlemald on another shard that lost contact

[dusk sky]

The Bounty, underwater expac woooo

[loud nymph]

Because the initial EW teaser didn't have Sharlayan in it and I remember that being a huge reveal

[dapper zealot]

cue urianger avoiding swimming cs

[craggy marsh]

Underwater combat you say?

MH Tri fans stay winning

[loud nymph]

God I love my connection at work

[random needle]

3 hours remain

2 hours 58 minutes remain

[dusk sky]

I remember… moon stuff, us with twins in La Noscea, and then the camera pulls up and back towards…

[loud nymph]

Anyway Sharlayan wasn't in the initial EW trailer, I don't think it was revealed until JP fanfest?

Pretty sure Radz was revealed first

[lost sinew]

they're patching in Lagiacrus with 8.0

#leaks

[lyric summit]

endwalker trailer was peak

[dusk sky]

Depends, did first teaser have Estinien and Vrtra or Y’shtola and Forchenault?

[lyric summit]

something new each fanfest

dawntrail one was so weird

[loud nymph]

Initial one had neither iirc

[lyric summit]

like even the final ver has weird cuts

[dusk sky]

So just Moon stuff and then Twins and WoL in La Noscea?

Oh and Fanny in the tower

[lyric summit]

it had zenos in the throne

but no scythe

[dapper zealot]

fanny has hit the tower?

[loud nymph]

https://youtu.be/7-bkJ2ZoW6k?si=jz1GzJPh39aCgjTF

[dusk sky]

What is the Tower of Babil but just a ferris wheel full of corpses

[errant rivet]

stream starts at midnight for where i'm at

[loud nymph]

Literally just moon, the twins, and Zenos staring at the fire

[remote gate]

sqaure popped off hard with the EW trailers ngl

[dapper zealot]

I'm looking foward that what banger theme 8.0 has

[errant rivet]

gl to the folks tuning in, I'd rather take care of my health

[loud nymph]

Though this one does reveal SGE

[boreal pumice]

[dusk sky]

…so was Tuliyollal shown at NA or am I crazy

[lyric summit]

oh, didnt we only have 2 events for endwalker?

it was weird

cause covid

[loud nymph]

Oh, because of covid, very possible

I don't remember, it was like 7 years ago

[dusk sky]

Right, the digital fanfest

[lyric summit]

yeah they showed in on first fanfest

[loud nymph]

It definitely was

[lyric summit]

with graphical update

[loud nymph]

because they had graha eating the taco lining up with "take a bite" in the song

in 2 trailers

and then inexplicably not lining up in the final one

[remote gate]

my bad video editing is hard

[dusk sky]

My favorite blatant teaser edit was Viper WoL gripping the pommel of his sword but the sword was edited out

[lyric summit]

i was convinced dt trailer would have geomancer krile hunting with estinien in the start

[loud nymph]

NA trailer had WoL facing Gulool Ja Ja but cut away before he went all twinblade-y

[dusk sky]

If WoL was a catboy that clenched hand wouldn’t have been auspicious at all

[loud nymph]

So yeah we had tuliyollal

[lyric summit]

cause theres a super weird cut of him getting slammed by a wave blunt cut to him dry

[dusk sky]

Oh yeah, Estinien on the hunt

With a beast that didn’t make it to game I think

[amber fable]

Not even in game smh

[lyric summit]

they expanded that shot too i think to show the crystals on the mob

[loud nymph]

I don't think there's a convention on like, which cities get shown

[dusk sky]

Well prob bc he killed it before we got there, Tbf

[lyric summit]

remember when we thought tuli was getting overtaken by lightning crystals and then that led nowhere

one dungeon

[remote gate]

esty didnt even get to do this stuff on screen 😔

[dusk sky]

Estinien having more screentime in the trailer than the expansion

[kindred bison]

it is in the game though

[amber fable]

Trailer will be hype

[kindred bison]

Gowrow from Sohm Al (Hard)

[amber fable]

But I wanna see ingame gameplay

If they will show that

[remote gate]

wanders the country
shows up for zoraal ja fight
doesnt elaborate
leaves

i love esty

[dusk sky]

Oh was it just a sized up mangator type

[amber fable]

Gjj

[dusk sky]

Pats the Dahu

[amber fable]

Not zj

[loud nymph]

I doubt it

Though since this is seeming to be a more accelerated schedule

maybe?

[amber fable]

2027

[lyric summit]

gameplay of what

there will probably be ingame trailer of city

they usually drop that

and zones

but not combat gameplay just debug camera

[loud nymph]

I just hope my connection at work holds out long enough for me to be able to watch stuff

It'll suck if my connection dies halfway through and I have to actually do the job I get paid for

Instead of slacking on my phone

[remote gate]

im gonna be in the peak of my work activity when trailer comes out 😵‍💫

[lyric summit]

im gonna be home eating pizza

will there be food in the trailer

ice cream

slushy

[loud nymph]

Meracydia is basically Australia right

[lost sinew]

i think so yeah

[loud nymph]

what do they eat in Australia

dingos

[lost sinew]

didn't yoshi p say we're not doing meracydia this expansion

[loud nymph]

and kangaroos

[lyric summit]

yes but this isn't australia apparently

[loud nymph]

oh ok

[lost sinew]

or did i hallucinate that (possibility)

[dapper zealot]

fairybread and golden gaytimes

[lyric summit]

“I can’t provide any specific details,” replied Yoshida, “but I have already decided when Meracydia will make an appearance and how. But what I can say is that it is going to be quite a while away.
https://www.techradar.com/gaming/final-fantasy-14-naoki-yoshida-interview-gamescom-2025

[loud nymph]

Huh, ok, fair enough

I wonder if we're going full on dimension traveling then

[dapper zealot]

yeah 9.0 at the earliest

[loud nymph]

or spending more time exploring the Ninth

[lyric summit]

with how key-centric the 7.5 trailer is

prob shard hopping

[loud nymph]

Yeah, that could be neat

[random needle]

They've been showing a lot of Zero lately. Like, a lot a lot

[lyric summit]

when will they add unique tp animation for shard hopping

[random needle]

I feel like we're going to have our void expac soon

[remote gate]

go ahead and shit on me for this take but i hope anything we don't do on the 13th isnt literally just the plot of ffiv. i hated post ew since 6.2 - 6.5 was literally the plot of ffiv

[boreal pumice]

fuck you shiggy you low parsing grey nerf nerder wait what we shitting you for?

[random needle]

time for FFIV: The After Years

[loud nymph]

With the patch being trail to the heavens

I think shard hopping might be on the table

[remote gate]

im fine with bringing zero back but please also bring golbez i want him to be expanded on

[lyric summit]

he is literally in the patch trailer

in enuo battle

with zero i think theyre roommates

[remote gate]

i remember getting shit on in endwalker discussion because i hated how post ew was literally ffiv

[dapper zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/man-people-watching-roommates-gif-14034058

if we do get our void expac, I hope gaia and ryne get appearances, they're instrumental

[boreal pumice]

i remeber someone saying zeros real name would be Cecilia

[random needle]

Yeah I think post-EW stuck just a bit too close to the original script of IV, but hopefully that means they can spin it into something more interesting from here on

Hey, maybe we can have the four fiends be actual characters now

[lyric summit]

im tired of void and dark purple caves and s9 facilities or temples

give me daylight

[remote gate]

if they make it the plot of after years I will cancel my sub and crash out

[boreal pumice]

they had intresting back stories if you do the eyeball side quests

[remote gate]

^^^

[wicked delta]

Based based BASEEEDDDD that shit was straight cheeks

Dont let them silence you

[loud nymph]

Turn FFXIV into a dating sim where I can date barbarricia

[random needle]

8.0 is just reverse Shadowbringers, where instead of bringing night to the first, we bring day to the Thirteenth

[remote gate]

at least its not the plot of ffiv

[boreal pumice]

https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Favour_System got you

[loud nymph]

If only 🙁

[remote gate]

like dont get me wrong ffiv is a decent game and product of its time but please do not rehash it again

[lyric summit]

this is gonna be road trip expansion like HW

[worn bluff]

the worst nostalgia bait was the bahamut mount

[lyric summit]

just across dimensions

[random needle]

Rubicante: "Flames to lick at your heels!"
Me: "Can they lick something else ;)"
Rubicante: "what"
Me: "what"

[boreal pumice]

but FR i want to see what they do with zeromus shard and for the love of god make gaia a msq character havent done eden your lost bitch

[worn bluff]

the second they revealed the FFIV bahamut mount my desire to EX farm instantly disappeared

[loud nymph]

Honestly just make Eden required for MSQ

[dusk sky]

Real

[loud nymph]

They are good raids

and it is a good story

[remote gate]

truth nuke borderline gem alert ngl

[boreal pumice]

i found it funny doing eden after finishing shb and its like yo thancred and uri are back

[remote gate]

i saw that shit and was like "wow im sure this justified grinding rubicante ex 99 times"

[random needle]

I like that Eden takes the ARR primals and makes them cool fights in the modern game

[wicked delta]

Truth supernova

[boreal pumice]

it is something FF has done for years you have the og summon ok now lets give it something different but it still looks familar

[worn bluff]

someone told me i should be excited since it’s from FFIV

me, who has never played FFIV:

also nostalgia doesn’t excuse it for being ugly

[loud nymph]

bahamut / neo-bahamut / bahamut zero

[boreal pumice]

ff7 abridged barret naming all the bahamuts

[random needle]

I'm gonna have to do soooooo much wing farming for the DT wings...

[robust shoal]

Patch writers be like Behold... ZEROMUS!

and I'm like

who tf is Zeromus

[wicked delta]

Me irl

I went wh

The music was cool tho

[boreal pumice]

ppl reaction to necron after dealing with kuja

[dapper zealot]

pokemon boss battle music was great

[robust shoal]

me when zeromus reveal https://youtu.be/ce5as8CrOR4

[dapper zealot]

I like the fight cause I actually get to use all of my sge buttons, even on normal

[wicked delta]

Me seeing Necron

Even more whoville

[loud nymph]

play ff9

wait no

because even ff9 doesn't tell you what the fuck necron is

I mean you should play ff9 regardless

just....not for details on what necron is

[lost sinew]

yeah in that way 14 was actually pretty true to the spirit of necron in ff9

[loud nymph]

haha yeah

[boreal pumice]

[wicked delta]

I know what happens in FF9 hes just such a nothing character in it

😭

[sleek moon]

i have every mount except for zeromus, the second i saw bahamut as final mount i didnt feel like finishing

[loud nymph]

yeah very fair

[amber fable]

I have all cats

Still didnt get chair baha

[boreal pumice]

cherry used to put the ilvl up because ppl sucked ass at meteors

[amber fable]

I mean no reason not to

[sleek moon]

the old good "if i increase ilvl required it will surely get me more competent people" and then proceed to wipe just as much

[amber fable]

Higher ilvl 65% uptime is better than lower ilvl 65%

Arguably thats not true

Always

But you get the idea

[boreal pumice]

she was hoping to just skip meteors

[amber fable]

Casual ex farm should read guide tbf

They see like 50% mech anyway

[sleek moon]

maybe one day ill get around to finishing zeromus farm

but nowadays id rather just play something else

[random needle]

I watched someone farming last night and she was going down after earth phase

[boreal pumice]

i know some guy made a unsynch guide up to like shb content awhile ago

[amber fable]

Will they repeat same ilvl cycle or do something different

I hope they do something else

[random needle]

Two hours remain

[robust shoal]

[marble grove]

22mins

till whatever the preshow will be

inb4 it's a countdown lol

[lyric summit]

[random needle]

Wuk Lamat and Sphene Fortnite dancing for 60 minutes straight

[marble grove]

[random needle]

ONE HOUR REMAINS

[sly basin]

this is so hot and amazing

[thin fox]

whos up and ready to kill yoshi p when they dont announce yshtola feet in 8.0 or whatever

[loud nymph]

I demand more wuk lamat

[thin fox]

ff14 fans when the new trailer has 0.31 seconds of wuk lamat

[thin fox]

what does this mean in practice

does this jsut mean that we ignore ilvl in chaotic now

[dapper zealot]

you can straight up unsync it

[thin fox]

dont mechanics still force 24 people or do the mechanics change

[dapper zealot]

but min ilvl means guaranteed drops

[lament tusk]

to what?

[tulip wraith]

i've never run chaotic so idk how hard body checks are, but i've heard rough

but higher ilvl just means less instant dying i guess

maybe you can lose some players cause of it

[dapper zealot]

the wuk lamat expansion

[thin fox]

im pretty sure the tower emch is a 24 player body check no?

[wicked delta]

If they announce Y’shtola bathwater SE will get infinite stocks

[thin fox]

i hope the trailer just randomly says WE ARE KILLING A SCION YUP #SKINTHESCIONSALIVE WE'RE NUKING A SCION ITS GONNA BE YOUR FAVOURITE SCION

[lament tusk]

will heavyweight be farmable?

[thin fox]

and then expac comes out and level 108 quest has papylymo come back and 2 quests later he dies again

[wicked delta]

[thin fox]

[marble grove]

badumts

[thin fox]

such a cool way to present it as like a second hand retelling

ALSO

[dapper zealot]

we just got stb 2.0

[amber fable]

[marble grove]

[marble grove]

YOOO

REALM HOPING

godless realm saga waa

THE SCIONS WILL BE DIVIDED

[amber fable]

False gods

[trim frost]

xd

[odd beacon]

This is definitely time travel

[amber fable]

Nah

[odd beacon]

With how the WoL was framed

But this is also first trailer so misdirection galore

[lament tusk]

brooo wasn't it late 2027, january is too early damn

[trim frost]

old woman is sus

[lament tusk]

so good

[thin fox]

its almost certainly not time travel lol its just a framing device i think

[jolly flume]

avg scholar lounge reaction

[trim frost]

is that a fucking rhitahtyn shirt

[jolly flume]

yea

[amber fable]

Double shield tank

Probably

[dapper zealot]

cape westwind ult

[odd beacon]

I think its time travel because it might have to do with the Sixth

which already rejoined..?

[visual geyser]

That logo is so good

[trim frost]

yeah so

that's my theory

we don't actually know what a rejoining fully entails

[sick reef]

where r yall cookin this from

[trim frost]

shirt

[sick reef]

ive been dying for a double shield tank

[trim frost]

see: shirt

[sick reef]

WAIT

im not watching it rn waiting for wife to come home

[sick reef]

if its double shield tank yoship 100 dolla preorder comin in rn

[odd beacon]

My bet is the withering can only be prevented by rejoining back all the shards 'normally'

and the key is the key to that

[visual geyser]

that was a really good teaser

[odd beacon]

Godless Realms goes hard tbh

[dapper zealot]

THE FOURTH?

[odd beacon]

ok nvm

[trim frost]

oh

[trim frost]

[shy obsidian]

[worldly grotto]

Straight up snaking it

[dapper zealot]

the aetheryte design looks nice

[visual geyser]

[shy obsidian]

[rapid whale]

[brisk scarab]

[shy obsidian]

Hoelbrak is that you

[rapid whale]

[brisk scarab]

We were referred to as the Wanderer, right

[thin fox]

elden ring ass area

[trim frost]

potentially

[visual geyser]

omg

wtfff

[trim frost]

this mining town looks insane

[visual geyser]

is this the same game???

[thin fox]

wtf is that

[dapper zealot]

oh damn

[trim frost]

holy

[shy obsidian]

is it just me or does the city look like it has those drones that were present in the trailer

[trim frost]

that fucking detail

[dapper zealot]

surely this is the first city

[thin fox]

these areas look fucking crazy dude

[trim frost]

[shy obsidian]

this looks like ff17

[timber stratus]

this is guild wars 2 charr home

[shy obsidian]

LAVA???

[visual geyser]

ff14 zones never look like this

[shy obsidian]

i thought it was more of Hoelbrak

[timber stratus]

it kinda looks like mixes lol

[dapper zealot]

yooo lemme hit up my man Jarl balgruuf

[thin fox]

i think the thing sticking out to me here

is the amount of variety

even in just the screenshots of iwhat we know are areas (based on aetherytes)

[rapid whale]

"You're awake..!"

[random needle]

Fitting all this into just 6 zones feels insane

[dapper zealot]

I also had an inkling that we were going to merge the shards back together, which makes it hilarious

I want to see what Emmy thinks about that

[trim frost]

my giant drill cock

[dapper zealot]

Eden x Bismarck

[shy obsidian]

[quick flame]

I wouldn’t expect a new job today

[amber fable]

Eu will have first job

[quick flame]

Oh shit

[lyric summit]

[odd beacon]

NO MORE TOMESTONES

[shy obsidian]

MY FOOD

[trim frost]

i hope that translates into like

better zone/dungeon planning n stuff

[dapper zealot]

I'm curious how they'll handle endgame tomes

[amber fable]

Time gated tokens

[brisk scarab]

I missed a bit of the stream, whats the update for tomes?>

[amber fable]

So much pr talk bruh

[trim frost]

we dunno yet

[quick flame]

They haven’t said yet

[amber fable]

Just tell what it actually is

[timber stratus]

we dont know yet hes dragging it out with pr talk

[amber fable]

5 hours of this

[rapid whale]

"You can get your missing tomes last week in the following week, if you missed out"

[lofty dune]

how long is the presentation supposed to be?

[amber fable]

2 hr

[shy obsidian]

i'm praying we finally get those geezer faces that are exclusive to NPCs PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[quick flame]

They said it’s their longest keynote ever

[trim frost]

i mean ultimately it is a presentation for stakeholders n stuff too

so i get why they need it

[ripe bough]

It's gonna be a long AF keynote if he keeps just not saying the thing they're gonna do

[dapper zealot]

HUH????

[trim frost]

holy ff13

[amber fable]

Devs playing the game?

No way

[brisk scarab]

[ripe bough]

Game dead

[dapper zealot]

TOMES ARE DEAD

lmao 110

[robust shoal]

level 110

[trim frost]

the bottom bar is kinda silly though what am i looking at

[quick flame]

People have suggested a battle pass system with general rewards

[amber fable]

We wow now

[shy obsidian]

BRO WHY IS SHE USING THE FAT CAT THING AS HER GEAR

[sly basin]

nya~

[amber fable]

Mobile ahh ui I am ngl

[kind elm]

wait is that the actual ui

[quick flame]

Probably not

[amber fable]

Wip

[trim frost]

prob not

[kind elm]

im just watching the translation channel i thought this was a shitpost

[dapper zealot]

yeah I don't like this ui

[trim frost]

it's so 13

[quick flame]

It’s not the UI it’s showing the system off,…

[dull drum]

isnt it officially translated

its fanfest

[amber fable]

Koji

Is the guy

[sly basin]

yoship OC exposed...

[amber fable]

Doing it

[kind elm]

yea but the channel posts images and i cba to watch the stream

im doing other stuff

[shy obsidian]

Cecilia Flame being in the next expansioN?????

[dapper zealot]

honestly, the ui does make it look like a shitpost

[trim frost]

im stuff

[kind elm]

i just have the channel posting images

[amber fable]

#translations-and-liveletters have the images

[trim frost]

i mean tbh i haven't really been doing dailies ever

[quick flame]

This is good, daily expert roulette is too good

[kind elm]

that fucking ui image straight up looks like the old "what video games will look like in 2023" memes with overt ui and microtransactions 😭

just minus the microtransactions

[sly basin]

if theres not microtransactions i think this is solid

[amber fable]

So ui will be like that

[dapper zealot]

oh it's a mockup

[amber fable]

Goddamn

[lofty dune]

i wonder if hunt trains will still be the fastest way to cap

[dapper zealot]

ok thankgod

[trim frost]

this lowkey just challenge log

[marble grove]

Oh thank fuck

[quick flame]

Guys there’s won’t be microstransactions they are just changing the dailies system who hurt yall 😭

[dapper zealot]

yeah it's just the challenge log lmao

[amber fable]

It basically is consolidated shit

[marble grove]

The UI just looked bad tbh

[amber fable]

Instead of 10 menu to see it

[kind elm]

i never said there would be

[visual geyser]

GIVE A RIVAL WINGS BONUS THATS ALL I CARE ABOUT

[quick flame]

This seems healthy for the game

[kind elm]

i just said the mockup image looks bad

[amber fable]

You use 1 menu to see it

[sly basin]

every game ever with battlepass

[shy obsidian]

I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK THINKING HTEY WERE DAILIES

THANK GOD IT'S WEEKLY

[wicked delta]

Fortnite daily missions

[amber fable]

Direct gear

Like pvp pass...cool

[quick flame]

Not a battle pass

[visual geyser]

its the portal from destiny

[kind elm]

its literally the portal

[sly basin]

i know, it was the intial reaction

[shy obsidian]

600 easy points....

[sly basin]

but going from daily to weekly is a lot better for me

[amber fable]

Still weekly capped

So weekly cap will exist anyway

[marble grove]

Oh so this comes to replace the tomes

[amber fable]

Just no tome cockblock

I reckon

[dapper zealot]

oooh?

[marble grove]

Oh thank fuck

[sly basin]

im also so happy if they kill tome

[lofty dune]

any type of content will progress gear. thats awesome.

[brisk scarab]

I wopnder how that'll affect past relic stuff

[sly basin]

ohh true

i wonder what they will do

[dapper zealot]

omg, get prior week's tomes

[amber fable]

So weekly will accrued up

[ripe bough]

I'm mostly still just interested in supposed game play changes

[amber fable]

But its only 1 week

Ehh...

Oh well better than nothing

[quick flame]

It will be a jar or something you can fill up with weekly points maybe (for like ew relics)

[thin tartan]

this is good

[dapper zealot]

AYO???

[sly basin]

gamers i ordered tomodachi life

but i will return to ff14... probably this summer to do all my relics

[amber fable]

Custom stats on gear when

[timber stratus]

[shy obsidian]

raising our expectations lmao

[trim frost]

to preface

[brisk scarab]

So they can edge you into being hyped

[sly basin]

i already have so many ideas for who to make

[dull drum]

welcome to na fanfest its always been like this

jp gets the juicy details

[sly basin]

https://tenor.com/view/edgeworth-ace-attorney-big-brain-gif-5363889720252618555

[lofty dune]

this is cool for both casual players and savage raiders. anyone doing their favourite activities will progress in one way or another

[ripe bough]

The P stands for Yoshi Preface

[quick flame]

Curious how like HW relics mats will be handled

[wicked delta]

fortnite battle pass

[dull drum]

its a good change though and their reasoning is good

[sly basin]

yes exactly Adam0n

[trim frost]

my sugoi nihon pureiyaazu

[mortal garnet]

[brisk scarab]

[sly basin]

[shadow pilot]

Okay have Yoship shown up on stage yet so we can theorize what will be the new job

[amber fable]

Season pass....

[mossy eagle]

Expert dungeon botters in shambles

[shy obsidian]

[brisk scarab]

I just read someone say this is forcing you to log in.....girl.

YOU DONT HAVE TO PLAY

[dapper zealot]

oh so season is just renaming patch

[brisk scarab]

why do people act like playing FFXIV is an obligation

[trim frost]

kinda?

[amber fable]

Seasonal content

[odd beacon]

no theyre just not calling it patches

to differentiate it

[sly basin]

if its an obligation mayhaps logoff

[trim frost]

oh

ok that's kinda just

[remote gate]

reaper finally gonna be playable bros 😭

[trim frost]

[amber fable]

Same shit

[dapper zealot]

Oh ok, just a label

[errant rivet]

[amber fable]

New name

[remote gate]

[errant rivet]

[trim frost]

i thought it was gonna be like how ranked pvp seasons are 2/patch

[mortal garnet]

long ass segment just to re label shit

[quick flame]

So you have the whole season to earn like a mount at the end?

[errant rivet]

YoshiP legit now learning from retail WoW

[timber stratus]

ill trust that when it happens

[dull drum]

get ready to keep hearing more in tokyo

[quick flame]

I’m not used to this many Ws

[dull drum]

[sly basin]

i feel slight worry from faster patches

but if the quality stays the same tahts fine

[trim frost]

oh no

statue time

[shadow pilot]

Faster patches???

[dull drum]

IN GAME MARE

[errant rivet]

imo so far only gw2 got faster patches right

[shadow pilot]

[quick flame]

This could just mean going back to the pre EW cadence

[trim frost]

actually

[remote gate]

i just hppe they make reaper not shit this expansion 😭

[errant rivet]

HW 2.0

[trim frost]

this might be leading up to more character creator customization stuff

yeah

[quick flame]

It’s the poster job sorry you are cooked

[amber fable]

More cc choices

[mossy eagle]

Thinking about how PLD was poster job and died in 6.3

[errant rivet]

warbands

[brisk scarab]

[dapper zealot]

[timber stratus]

[jade nimbus]

I assume the menu where you equip gear and see stats

[brisk scarab]
