Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

Judging by the characters, I would say that red ranger is obviously red mage, black is samurai, and yellow is who knows what. It could be anything.

Well, if the mannerisms could be considered a hint, then the yellow rangers flair for the dramatic and the theatrical could lend credence to the idea that it would be Dancer, which would in all likelihood be some variant of healer or deeps.

Fair enough but just to be on the safe side I'm going to treat it as a very strong hint and not a confirmation yet. Remember how some people believed that HW won't get a DPS class after ninjas and we are going to get a gun wielding healer? A lot of things might look confirmed at first glance, but they might not be true. Red Mage and Samurai are pretty safe bets. So is dancer. Fan Fest begins in 2 hours anyway. Going to update the OP with actual information soon.

I'm curious about Dancer. Perhaps I haven't kept up with the latest news, but when compared to Red Mage and Samurai, or even Blue Mage, I have yet to come across official information which suggests that Dancer may be in the works unless there is something I overlooked.

Yellow mellow could be DNCER. I'm just hoping anyways. lol It's got that flair to it. He's ready to do a samba.

He is also doing the FFXI DNC pose

LOL NICE connection you made with the yellow ranger pose to Dancer. What is the Dancer's weapon btw? A small dagger?

If I remember, most of the big reveals at the "heavansward fan fest" happened on day 2, so any word from those in attendance when the big reveals will be? I was thinking wouldnt be till tomorrow (saturday) evening likely.

Traditionally it's daggers I believe, but FFXI allowed a few dual-wield options. Obviously in FFXIV it'll have to be something unique. I believe the popular suggestion was bladed fans. There are various weapons that would make sense for a dancing combat style though.

Namingway/Hummingway is a bunny tribe in FF? Viera? It could all be related we'll see soon :P

[KitingGenbu]

Who thinks that about 90% of this supposed increased budget will just go to the MSQ?

And your character will STILL be standing still and using generic emotes in the cutscenes.

At least there will be more voice acting....maybe
