Playing on PS3 was horrible. That is what I started this game on. Thankfully the PS4 version wasn't too far behind, so I was able to make the switch relatively quickly, but I couldn't imagine ever going back. May it rest in pieces.

"Back in my day, most players cleared coil on ps3! All you gamers with your FRAPS and RAMS don't know tru struggle"
(I actually did coil up to T5 on ps3. No clear though hehe)

Realistic expectations:
- No Matter whats talked about, we will see handfuls of threads complaining about it
- People Chanting Male Viera in the Chat

Unrealistic expectations:
- The Forums wont fill with tons of people complaining about something
- Male Viera & Female Hrothgar Anoounced

Double Jeopardy:
- Hrothgar and Viera Headgear and Hair announcements

Are we ready for infos? :O

Did anyone make our bingo? :D

Zanarkand-Ronso's "someone will be upset" will be the freebie in the center lol.

I am expecting the PS5 upgrade will be announced along with confirmation it is finally coming to Xbox Series X|S. I know that has been in the works for a while. I am guessing when 6.0 released there will be a complete collection released for Xbox. I would love some new hairstyles for Hrothgar/Viera but not sure SE even cares about those two races anymore since we've had 2 years go by and nothing.

I think a really important (or at least useful) thing with these sorts of announcements is to be eager but non-specific.

I'm looking forward to it but it's just "they're going to show some upcoming things that I haven't seen before".

If you go into it expecting or hoping for a specific announcement, the event will be disappointing because it failed to announce the thing you wanted rather than because of what content was actually in it, even if the actual reveals are good.

Would be really nice if we got any information about more UI options, would love if i was able to disable the "healing received" numbers as it does close to nothing for me but take up more screen space.

Info on how Hrothgar female and male viera are coming along would also be nice.

TERA wasn't bad. BDO ain't bad. BnS wasn't bad either, etc. I get the old school tab-targeting feeling but,...could it just be that you are genuinely not very good at action combat games? Considering they are faster paced than tab-targeting i can understand that some people can't keep up very well. Which is usually the case. But unfortunately, with FFXV being action combat and FFXVI being action combat.....the next FFMMO is most likely going to be, you guessed it, action combat.

Expectations :
- New trailer (showing Dalmasca region)
- Plot overview : Kinda a "Game of Throne" theme with Zenos/Fandaniel, Neula, Gabranth (and the guy from VIIth legion if not defeated in 5.5) and the Alliance fighting in Ilsabard.
-- Raid Ivalice and Bozja content mandatory to progress in the next expansion at some point.
- Artworks/screenshots of the new region shown
- New beast tribe
- Healer job revealed
- T-shirt hinting the 2nd job (dps)
- Name of the next 8 man raid revealed
- Update to Viera and Hrothgar
- Update to character customization
- Update to maybe some old contents
- Maybe a new feature like Bliztball

Shots fired. I'm just somewhat hyped. I WANT THE INFO SO BAD. Tho I stand by my statement. We're getting 2 fanfest of informations. Like the CGI movie. I'm betting it'll be the full one if not a longer one then the first we would've gotten. One job reveal and 2 clues.. or both jobs revealed. The name of the expac. News on XIV coming to Xbox since the live BS is gone. New areas and lots and lots of changes to the combat system and everything we would've gotten by now if Tom clancey's The division didn't take over the world last year. And so much more.

Expectations :

- A trailer starts.
- No male viera or male rothgar in the trailer.
- Story.
- Nice artworks.
- Ppl analyzing the outfit of YoshiP
- Some preview of new raids.
- Ppl already trying to see the future.
- No male viera or female hroghgar reveal.
- People loosing their minds.
- " Sadly we can't add every head pieces to viera and hroghgar but we are working to add more with time, please look foward to it "
- People still having hope for male viera and/or female hroghgar, trying to analyze every detail, trying to be prophets and complaining.
- " male hrotgar players we hear your problems but we will not grant you the rank of fully customizable characters. Not yet "
- " this is outrageous it's unfair! "
- Some random dude in the chat : "take a seat"
- " We are trying to update the customization of caracters in the future expantions, please look foward to it "
- People loosing their minds again.
- A least 1 new job (healer), 2 max.
- Healer and tank roles changing again.
- At least there's a healer, so part of the angry viera and hrothgar players are silenced.
- 1 limited job (beastmaster).
- They will remind you that blue mage is a limited job.
- Nothing about pvp yet.
- https://i.redd.it/aq8b7m3t96361.jpg
- Still no male viera or female roghgar reveal.
- Lots of tears, but there's hope.
- Lots of hapiness, everything is okay.
- People complaining about other people complaining.
- "GCBTW"
- Preview of something new that we didnt expect (pvp maybe?). But other things are more important and ppl still talk about them.

Okay, I have a few leaks from a very reliable source.

A Switch announcement

Next gen announcement

A new title

A collab; SEGA, Marvel and other anime were mentioned

There will be several jobs announced

One job will be a limited/normal hybrid

A Pokemon -esque class

Healer/DD

And a superhero class that uses bracelets as a main weapon which grants him/her super powers; cape included as well.

My source also wanted me to specifically mention a Puppet class.

My source? A sock I painted Barret Wallace's face on. Take it as you will.....But he gives me good advice/info in the past; aint that right buddy?

He says "Damn right!"
(You read that in Barret's voice, don't lie....)

How could anyone read it in any other voice? :p

Even if they don’t announce male viera, the community will convince itself they did.

My expectations are the norm for what we get at fanfests. And then I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we get something that is unexpected.

Pray tell, what else does the Sock say?

Also . . . . Mr. Sock's voice in my head is Pinocchio's from Shrek :3.
