I wonder what they'll add, what'll it revolve around, where it'll take place (Come on ala mhigo), what classes we'll get?

Hype?

Like some people have pointed out the end of 3.5 will be somewhere in September. Fan fest is in October I think. It will probably be announced then. I'm guessing it will come in spring 2017. It will another 2 years since the time heavensward was released. I hope it's sooner and we do not have a huge lull between 3.5 and 4.0. So every 2 years we I'll have an expansion I'm assuming due to resources and man power.

Heavensward will be required. All they said was that you won't need to have finished the Heavensward story to start the 4.0 story. The stories will also still be directly linked as well. Yoshi specifically mentioned having a catch up cutscene to tell people what happened if they skipped prior story stuff. It would be like going into 3.0 as soon as you reach 50 and having a special abridged cutscene version of the 2.1 to 2.55 story.

3.3 should be around May/June, with 3.4 around September/October... 3.5 shouldn't be until sometime in early 2017... and if the game takes the same schedule we'll get a 3.55 three months later, followed by 4.0 three months after that, give or take.

All speculation at this point, but I'd venture a guess we'll see 4.0 in June 2017. :)

Early Spring 2017 is my vote. June seems too late, would make HW 2 years old.

Three months per patch. So, 6*3 = 18 months after 3.0's release. Add in two months for their two month vacation and you get 20 months. 20 months from... June 2015, was it? would be February 2017. So, my guess is March 2017. Unless, of course, they do a "major" x.55 patch again, in which case I'd say April/May 2017.

If so, that is depressing.

if only the 3.5 patch hit b4 ff15 was released would give me more time in my man cave playing that til 4.0 :P well looking like ff15, ff7 and 4.0 being released end of year/ start of next so good time for us fans :P
