Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

This is a pretty big deal. The game's budget has been tripled. Given the apparent problems due to a lack of funding for Yoshi's team this may mark a huge change of direction for the game.

I'm assuming that money is also intended to cover the patch cycle? I wonder what they're planning to spend it on.

Budget increase should include server / hardware investment as well.

Xbox one release maybe?

Yes, a lot of FF XIV profit will go into inventory expansion ^^

Xbox one release maybe?

Not so long it is a Microsoft console or until Microsoft change their cross-platform policy.

I'm still gunning that the girl is indeed a DNCER from the trailer because while shes fighting our derplander mnk after she punched hard but blocks. She jumps back and does a VISIBLE jig before attacking again. So I am still going to say DNCER. Maybe with Puglist -> class to Mnk or DNC. Similar to SCH and SMN

If you mean that little jumping up and down before her Shoulder Tackle (1:19), i think it was Featherfeed.

, i think it was Featherfeet.

True you could be right that it does look like Feather Foot. Just odd they would use a moveset that is being tossed out for being useless.
But your right it does look similar to featherfoot. o/

What does OP mean by "almost became" for Viera and Samurai?

Haven't been following the news so i'd like to know if it has been confirmed what the new jobs are.

Before DRK came out* Yoshi stated they were about to make SAM but decided not to because Yoshi did not find SAM to be a Tank class. Don't remember the Viera talk though. o/

edit:
Here is the interview.
In terms of how fans reacted, it makes me think ‘so if we were to put in a Samurai, how is it going to play into the realm of Final Fantasy XIV? Would it be a tank? But that doesn’t seem to make sense because Samurai seems to be more of a DPS. Or if we were to go in the vein of a tank, wouldn’t it be a Shogun?’ those kind of thoughts start brewing in my head
