Fan Festival Announcing new jobs?

[ExKage]

It's quite spread out this time around. Since they use Fanfest to promote and hype stuff, I don't we'll see much for the NA fanfest. If anything, they'll tease a job, but no confirmation.

JP fanfest could hype up the 3.5 patch since it should released by late december ~ January based on patch cycles.

EU taking place February will probably be when they'll talk more about the expansion, maybe even show a trailer.

Yes that is why I don't think they will actually jump to giving more info unless they have a -lot- more planned for 4.0. After all, they also go to PAX and announce stuff there too. With how spread out the fanfests are, I don't know if they will actually announce a job or just heavily tease. Maybe they will do more than 3 jobs but that seems a stretch with how many adjustments have had to be made to the current 'new' ones. I would say a trailer for the expansions would not be a surprise but with how spread out I am not so sure of it anymore.

I think people are underestimating how upset the people who shelled out money for the full or digital version of the show would be if they only went this far.
I'd say it's possible they reveal 1 new job per fanfest, but there's NO WAY we're getting only a name and nothing else at the NA Fanfest.

I think they hinted to Red mage, blue mage and samourai, not sur we'll see a beastmaster coming one day considering howw they handled summoner :/

give them time i think they can learn for one mistake

At the least Fanfest, Yoshi didn't say anything about the new jobs but he used visual hints at them, like wearing a shirt with a Batman logo on it (Dark Knight) and doing a James Bond pose (Machinist).

probably tease whatever it was alisae was teasing, id be ok with one job being announced i dunno if that would hurt them too much,
but wed get about half a dozen threads about it on the front page here though lol

If no new jobs/races, then they'd have to spend time on how current jobs (including DOH and DOL) will feel in 4.0.

Honestly, though, I think it would be smarter to spread the three jobs between each fest, verses saving the meat for one as they did before. Otherwise, we'll see some wrath on the forums and reddit, just as CosmicKirby said, since that's very obviously the most discussed topic in regards to 4.0.

The only things we know is Yoshi-P wants SAM, Red Mage is the most player requested, and Alisaie is clearly hinting at something (Red, Rune Fencer, or Mystic Knight?).

That and Viera is still requested, but we've got no hints on another race in the game.

How either of those are hints that you could expect anyone to reasonably understand, I have no earthly clue. Blind guesses would have been more likely to succeed than using those hints as a tool to predict.

You'd be surprised.

The devs are gabbing away about Batman, The Dark Knight movies being recent, and lightbulbs started flashing.

So, when Yoshi-P confirmed the correlation, and starts to talk about James Bond and The Man With Golden Gun being a film he loves, we knew where he was going with it.

My only wish is Alisaie hinting at a new job will mean her unusual style will be confirmed at Vegas.


Also, Susan Calloway will be performing... New theme preview time??

Considering the Live Letter is about 3.4, I don't think we'll get anything concrete at the Fanfest this time round. I think it's very likely that any announcements will be about upcoming 3.4 content and teasing 3.5 content, with the usual PR stuff filling the space in-between. I'll be very surprised if we get anything other than vague hints that could mean anything before the final Fanfest so I'm trying really hard to not let myself get hyped at all

And they'd just let fans walk away disappointed after shelling out money to attend an event that square directly profits from by not showing them new info? Info they probably have had ready since E3 and TGS and said nothing about? They've clearly been holding onto stuff for a while. I don't know where everyone is coming from thinking they'll say basically nothing. Especially if they shoot their fanfest in the foot in the 2nd year.
