Dawntrail release date

they haven't even shown us anything but a trailer and a few screen shots, let alone any battle systems or content, I dont care when they release it if its just going to be another content-less endwalker.

in the course of 3 conventions they they gave us nothing at all basically, doesn't bode well..

Honestly, with how late they seem to be (we didn't even get an Artwork for the Beastmaster. Sure it's a late cycle thing, but to the point they don't even have an artwork?), and how the trailer and fanfest showed basically nothing, I would not be surprised if it releases in august.

The "it won't be september" statement will be broken. Virtually every country in the world has 1 or 2 months off mandated by their governments, except united states. You bet your behind that 1 month vacation will delay the release.

They probably won't have done anything for that yet because it's not part of the expansion but rather one of the patches.

You must not have watched them then because they showed a trailer of both the jobs performing their attacks, full tours of most of the zones and some of the dungeons, and screenshots of many of the areas and cities, along with their names and lore.

They showed us the plan for the expansion (which is all the standard stuff we'd predict from Endwalker other than the new plan for deep dungeons, the field operation, the new limited job and the more social exploratory content).

All of that shows that many of the dungeons are actually done, the zones are actually done, the new jobs are actually done, some of the music is done or close to it with prototypes, and I think they do the quests and its localization last because it's hard to place them into areas when the areas don't exist. Although I'm sure the plan for the quests is on storyboards ahead of time so it's just speeding through their implementation.

I'm guessing you've never watched VODs of the previous FanFests. We got what they always give us.

It's the media tour that's usually 2 months before release when we get the battle systems information and a look into one of the MSQ dungeons and trials.

IF you think that Endwalker lacked content, might as well quit now. We've been over this in multiple thread the last several months. Endwalker has plenty of content and is on par with Shadowbringers when it comes to quantity of content added. That the content didn't appeal to you personally doesn't mean the content doesn't exist.

Blue Mage was never mentioned at the FanFests before Stormblood. The only information we had was that they were working on a new job concept they planned to introduce late in the expansion. That they gave us the job name this time was more than we got then.

They've never been big on releasing more specific information multiple patches in advance. For now they want people hyped for what's coming in 7.0. They'll start spreading out teaser information for the content getting added later in the expansion during the first Live Letter after 7.0 release.

they showed us a few out of context GCDs, some screen shots of new zones and said there will be a 8man and 24 man raid, of and they will do something to bozja with no context at all, I'm glad that the absolute bare minimum for information did it for you, but everything they told us past the job names was already assumed and guaranteed..

they can show us all the zones conceivable, but if they are lifeless empty zones that will abandoned 3 days after launch because their only relevance is a MSQ quest tHat takes 2 days, then its a nothing burger.

this is a MMORPG, WHAT. IS. THERE. TO. DO....??????????

I'm guessing you just accept that something continuing to suck is ok because its a tradition.

I guess you're the type that likes spoiling things for others as long as it sates your instant gratification cravings.

The developers aren't. They give us some information but they aren't going to spoil the whole.

And videos of the new zones and dungeons and the new race.

...and hunts and FATEs and variants and criterion and ultimates and a deep dungeon and exploratory content.

Not to Bozja, particularly. Just the same type of content that Eureka and Bozja were (a Field Operation).

Yes? What are you expecting? Most of it is stuff that will release in patches so is obviously not done. The only stuff not part of patches is the zones and dungeons and jobs, which is exactly what they showed us video of, the MSQ which they gave us some details about without spoiling, and Hunts and FATEs which we'll get some sense of in the Media Tour.

Well alright, that is the game; if the game is a nothing burger to you then I don't really understand why you'd watch the Fan Fest and expect different results for the next expansion.

you got a 1.05 min vid showing scenery of dungeons and preview of the new job with 10 secs of title screens, and then they said the other stuff, not shown just told, 3 entire international fan fests to say what, next xpac comes with a msq and new zones and leveling dungeons that 50% of will have recycled gear? glad your happy. lol.

go ahead and tell me anything about the new jobs besides they are a melee and caster.
go ahead and tell me anything about the dungeons.
go ahead and tell me about the hunt marks, or the fates.
go ahead and tell me anything at all.
oh wait you cant, because there was nothing.
