We all know there will be a "live" Q&A sesion where almost every meaningful question is filtered out or given the "We cant answer that at this time" treatment but is that it?
What huge feature or features will yoshi announce? Auction house? Jump? A new non terrible UI? A new combat system that is fun? Implementation of client side actions that make actions such as trading or interaction with retainers and other NPCs faster? Possibly one or more other features that are standard in most games that we dont have after a year+?
Maybe the huge announcement is to tell us PS3 tests are going into beta "soon".
Or maybe its to tell us they will start charging us $15 a month "soon".
Or maybe its just a bunch of fluff (Obama hope and change type stuff)
Or maybe they will announce an expansion is in the works.
What do you expect for this monumental occasion?

Well, hopefully, he'll announce the mass-banning of all trolls from the forums. ;)
-
10-02-2011, 11:07 PMXmbeilol that announcement would be: "So starting today official forums are closing because of all the trolls in them" lolQuote:

Maybe some footage of the new landscape, AH announcement or the opening of Ishgard.
I hope for all three =D -
10-02-2011, 11:12 PMXmbeiThat would be great! expecially Ishgard! I am so ready to get into that city!Quote:

Show us Drag and Drop user interface yes please :D

i would have a joker grin on my face for a week if they say they are in works of a expansion to release on pay day lol. other then that lol, they would never specially live say they are charging. lmao that is like the police phone boards blinking after a light in the sky that looks alien, appears. 3000people all typing in ffffffffuuuuuu and cya later. i'm sure they want to keep this as happy /joy as possible. maybe give a new huge announcement that "should" make most happy. but lol dunno what that could be, maybe everyone who been playing for the past year gets the option for a life time payment option when it does go live for only 100bucks :)

-
10-02-2011, 11:31 PMAlaltus
Would be nice if they tell us what classes become what jobs and maybe some info.
-
10-02-2011, 11:31 PMTonyMontanaNoone. We havent been told much of anything, thats what the speculation is about.Quote:

I was curious about that too... but maybe thats part of the reason he wants to do it live besides the obvious 1 year anniversary.

Come on, guys. Setting up expectations for stuff that were never mentioned is the reason for 70% of the ****storms we have around here.
There's NO huge announcement happening on Oct 4th as far as we know, just a QA session with Yoshi-P. Do not expect anything more -

Well, since it will be considered a "letter from the producer" i too think it might be more than just the Q/A.
But i wouldn't expect much...maybe he just talk about the new player poll he said a while ago that would be popping soon. -
10-02-2011, 11:55 PMZanfire
if we are lucky he will show us the concepts for the new world re-design... id like to see them before they go up, because if i had my choice i would have back handed the guy who did this original terrible ass design.

10-02-2011, 11:56 PMXmbei"we have this awesome system where we can make it easier for the engine to run the environment! We copy pasted everything but here in there, there will be slight differences!!!! It is so genious!!!!" -.-Quote:

Its seems obvious there will be a big announcement of some kind, they aren't doing this live with in game footage for nothing.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them showing off an alpha build of the job system. -
10-03-2011, 12:19 AMgrandmthis has me worried, i was looking forward to watching it live but i can't talk japanese, surely they wouldn't alienate there english speaking community??Quote:

Oh man OP you're making me scared. I hope it's nothing dreadful.
Since it's happening before the patch do you think it might be something that previously wasn't announced in the patch details that might make it's way into them later that day? -
10-03-2011, 01:11 AMDarkshadeI'm pretty sure it was said by YoshiP in one of the comments on the JP forum that the staff would be live translating this. I would guess either as subtitles somehow if that is possible or through a chatting/blogging device like CoverItLive.Quote:

i didnt even know youtube DOES live broadcasts so i dont really how it works, but as far as translations go maybe there will be different links to the same video but each link will take you to say.....just yoshi in japanese, another to yoshi with english translator, another to yoshi with chinese translations, another with french translations.
just speculation but if they can do that it'd probably be the easiest way and just post each link on the lodestone top page -
10-03-2011, 01:22 AMMaeili
I'm hoping for information on Arcanist and Musketeer, honestly.
Buuuuuuut I'm being very optimistic. -
10-03-2011, 01:37 AMAntanias
Patch notes for 1.20 will be 3-5 times the size of 1.19's...THAT'S the announcement >_>
-
10-03-2011, 01:37 AMVolsung
direction of the game from now on.
information on coming gameplay elements
information on ps3 release and first expansion
Those are my hopes anyways. -
10-03-2011, 02:16 AMBetelgeuzah
Even the Vanilla isn't fully opened up. What the hell is the rush for an expansion?
-
10-03-2011, 02:21 AMMuruganSome of us want content and are willing to pay for it to make it happen sooner.Quote:

10-03-2011, 03:30 AMDargoth_DraconiaHopefully All of the above aforementioned. Btw the Obama reference is spot on rofl.Quote:

Why was the game released at such a premature stage in its development?
Obviously it's too late to know why, but knowing the answer provides some closure, and a reminder to never make the same mistake again >.> -

Please look forward to it.
