3.3, 3.4, 3.5 preditions

[ruskie]

I'd say 4.0 May/June next year. Last fanfest is February so a few months after.

May/June 2017 would be nice.
I dont like the idea to get an expansion every year. SE should take its time, no matter how long it takes.

I need a explanation. Why you suppose there will be a Kefka? I mean, only because htere are the 3 Warring traid doesn't mean will be a kefka. I miss something in the story? It is not the first time I read about the Kefka thing on forums.

I predict there won't be a 3.5. Patch 3.3 is wrapping up the dragonsong war and I think void ark is only going to be 2 parts instead of 3 like crystal tower so that will be done in 3.3. 3.4 will lead the story towards where the next expansion will be going and wrap up aleaxander. Should put the expansion at the end of the year or early next year.

As far as ilevels and gear I have no idea.

That won't happen. Fanfest only starts in October-- with the European version of the event taking place in February . They would have a few months to hype only their second expansion. We likely won't see 4.0 until summer 2017. Square is generally very predictable with their release dates.

Only problem with that is hasn't square enix already stated somewhere that they want an expansion every year starting after 3.0? If I'm right then that means there will be an expansion some time later this year or in the beginning of next year.

Yes, they like to have an expansion every year. But I dont think its possible, which is not a bad thing. I mean, it took about 6 months between the last patch (X.5) and the next big expansion. Having an expansion every year (with the same amount of new content) means to have only 1 patch for each expansion. At the moment we have 5 patches per expansion, with a new expansion every 2 years. I think, we are fine with that.

So. They stated, they want to have an expansion every year. But thats not the right path and absolutely not a good idea.

3.3 next week

3.4 in september

3.5 december

4.0 ???

If they (SE) don't delay, of course. We know they're a bit late on their schedule...

Well, this picture in the Warring Triad section might have something to do with that.

i think they will rush the expansions through til 5.0 then start to slow down to be honest once theres a couple of expansions then will focus on additional features/content instead of new areas to explore
