I am hoping that at NA fanfest they kinda stray away from the usual as we will be celebrating the 10 years of ARR plus this is the first physical fanfest since the v****. I mean I am probably being naive but I am keeping my fingers crossed for something more.
-Maybe acting revealing one/only one of the new jobs.
-A bit more of the teaser trailer than normal.
-The new graphics will be nice to see too.
Wishful thinking. I am sure nothing will really change but I am just hoping I guess.
Less than 1 week! Let's goooooooooooo. So excited!

They may give us information about the graphics, or even a trailer of that itself, and trailers of new jobs, but don't expect a lot of in-game footage.
New areas are mostly not done at this stage of development. Some areas will remain as concept art still, or lack things like music that Soken is still working on, and as we get through the Fan Fests, they will have a lot more to show in the third Fan Fest. -

The only thing I’ve seen of note is if we compare the keynote of Endwalker it was around an hour this one on Friday is an hour and a half. Granted inside that time schedule they talk about merch too but I really hope they do a lot of screen comparisons for the visual update because this seems to be 7.0s biggest gimmick and something the team seems proud of. I mean they should us samples 1 month old back in feb 2022… it’s been 17 months since then, they’ve got to have something of note to show.

07-22-2023, 07:42 PMRongwayIf I'm honest, I'm actually anticipating that they might even reveal less than they have at previous NA FanFests. The graphics update is kind of a big thing and I expect they'll focus on showing us old stuff with the new graphics, rather than showing us more of the new stuff.Quote:

Both are 1 hour and a half, although half of that will be translations and most of the rest will be obvious stuff such as...Quote:

teaser trailer
one if the new jobs
very broad story hints
graphics update
I think that's a reasonable expectation. -
07-22-2023, 08:57 PMRongwayThey've never outright revealed a new (non-limited) job at an NA FanFest, only teased one via a T-shirt.Quote:

07-22-2023, 11:46 PMJeeqbitBut we also have no reason to believe there won't be multiple because there always has been, until they say otherwise like they did when reducing dungeon development.Quote:

Scholar <-> Sage
Monk <-> Samurai
Dragoon <-> Reaper (even more in 7.0 is the general prediction)
PLD <-> GNB
WAR <-> DRK -
07-23-2023, 01:28 AMSweetPeteNope it doesn’t need to be censored. I only did it because I don’t wanna even look at the word lol. That’s all.Quote:

considering AST and DRG are getting a complete rework, there's your other two jobs there. personally i think only one new job will be announced and it will share gear with NIN.
-
07-24-2023, 02:58 PMJeeqbitWhy do you believe there will be only one new job? What is this based on when we have always had 2 in every expansion since Stormblood?Quote:

New jobs are going to be clones of ones we already have, like Sage is a clone of Scholar and like Reaper is the preview of Dragoon's rework but pretty similar already.
