Live Letter Predictions!!!

I don't mean to sound like a white knight, but that's not how software development works past an indie level..

I myself want male Viera and after reading through many posts I've come to the conclusion that is most likely to expect them at 6.0, and that it isn't wise to expect to get a confirmation before then

Yoshi P said that if there was enough demand they would THINK about adding them. I think people need to not expect them at all. I'd probably be willing to bet that they will make an appearance with 6.0 but I'm not expecting them.

I predict that no matter what is shown people will hate it because people hate change.

Any change.

Hoping they make adjustments to the MSQ for a Realm Reborn. Feel bad for newer players having to slog through the post 2.0 patches. Overall it needs to be trimmed down.

Yeah, I wouldn't wish that slog on anyone.

Only on my enemies.

* Showing off Amh Araeng and Kholusia because they didn’t get trailers.
* Talking about the battle system changes.
* Showing off the Hrothgar and Viera a little?
* Benchmark release date?

I'm fully expecting the Scions to have a hideout named The Waking Sands, just because it seems like the kind of thing the devs would do as a joke.

This is certainly a wise way to look at it. I move by the fact that he said if there was enough demand they would maybe add them, and to me it seems like there is lots of demand. I have crystal clear that there is a chance that we never get them, and there is also a chance that we get them at 7.0,8.0,9.0 etc... I think I should use hope instead of expect, since it's kinda what I mean

It is the only answer you are going to get.

->Demi Ultima for my Lay Lines please~

->DRK/DRG/SAM/RDM/ASTRO/WHM/BLM/MCH changes

->What gear DNC will use since everything so far is a speculation and ppl talk it like its confirmed

->Housing changes

->Benchmark date LIKE PLEASE

-> Also im ok with anything as long as they dont talk about Male Viera and Female Hrothgar for a while[?]
Kinda tired of the subject. ShB will offer a lot of things to just get stuck on that /pensive

- DRK buffed
- PvP Rework again
- New Housing area
- MCH changes no one asked for / destroying MCH completely

https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...ive_letter.jpg

The only way MCH could get destroyed in ShB is if they fail to change it enough. I'm optimistically looking forward to ANY change at this point because there's a lot more room for better than for worse. Even if they throw all possible redesign ideas into a bowl and make a blindfolded monkey pick out a few at random, the results are statistically likely to be some kind of improvement.

- Overdrive added to your main weapon. Potency 800. No Auto-Attacks for 30s, GB must be also be activated.
- Flamethrower and Overheat added to your turret.
- Amount of ammo reduces to 1.
- Removed all support skills
- Wildfire, 60s cooldown. Requires procc after clean shot.

- Benchmark Clip at the start of Live Letter
- Benchmark analyze by Yoshi-P
- A Tour to The First Clip
- A Tour to The First Clip analyze by Yoshi-P
- Job Action Clip
- Battle system change
- Eorzea Collections 2019 with Shadowbringers's costume spoil.

would be nice if samurai gets utility though i have 0 exspectations so i know atleast i wont get mad or dissapointed.

A lot of angry people blasting the forums.

The benchmark release please I am going mad :D

DRK and MCH to be given a significant rework.

I have no faith in yoshida. It is gonna be something bad. I'm nervous. Anxious, even. I hope they don't separate tanks in OT/MT roles..

I expect it to be glamours and a bit of info on the new jobs and how they play.
I expect DRK/WHM news.
New housing with Ishgard but you have to work for it.
Official trailer update.(not the final edition, but longer than the first)

GP working like CP where it regens per node, along with a change to gathering actions.

Tenacity change to make it compete with other stats as a stat.

Toning crit down slightly so it isnt the absurd scaling monster it currently is, where it ends up being everyones best stat after a point.


Reworks of MCH, WHM and DK.

Removal of a lot of filler abilities for classes with multiple combo chains.

Rebalancing of abilities towards lower levels so the low level experience isnt an excruciating experience that encourages both new players and people leveling alts to story and level skip (or maybe not...)


To go with DK changes - Slight rebalancing of tank classes so DK/War play similarly as offensive focused tanks with more selfish cooldowns and Pal/Gun are more defensive with paladin like selfless cooldowns.

1) Try and keep hype going for ShadowBringers with small tidbits if info from the Fanfests expended upon for a few minutes if not just for the sake of reminding you about it
2) Majority combat changes
3) Mogshop items coming soon and physical items for sale sprinkled here and there.

Honestly outside of the combat changes I wouldn't expect much outside of merchandise and pushing people to preorder if they haven't yet.

Probably some of those sick leaks will be officially revealed! I cant wait for f-ing golden bahamut or Darkest Arts!!!1!1!!!one!

More disappointment!

But no seriously, I hope they show off some new areas and at least the nier raid.

I’m ready for them do SCH dirty once again

Don't you dare jinx me :(

For whatever job they think they need to rework, just "stay away from the summoner"

Oh we both know it's coming. Doing all three roles in a dungeon makes yoship cry.

Since the Nier Raid won't happen till 5.1, I don't think they have stuff to show off yet.

I think you answered your own question there chief.

WAR gets further buff to everything
DRK gets buffed to WAR's level
PLD gets nerfed because PLD can't have nice things
stares at PLD's auto-attack DPS Stance potency buff and DRK/WAR's % damage increase

Oh, and Benchmark info

Gunbreaker shown to fire off Divinest Veil bullets, Cover Bullets, Clemency 3 Bullets, and Aoe Tempered Will blast

I'm expecting to be shown something extremely new since they are changing a huge part of the battle system. TP. With that going bye bye the sky is literally the limit and just sticking to simple job changes doesn't even hit at the bigger picture for me. So I'm just waiting. I just want info :c and a reason to main dancer.
