Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

[Khalithar]

Agreed, I'm not sure why you'd hold 3 events when the content you have so little for each event.

Anyone know if the Japanese Fanfest is going to be translated? Would be unfortunate if all the big details were revealed there, only for it all to be in Japanese.

It's not surprising that's what they're doing, it's a good way of building hype and getting people to buy the stream to see what happens next.

So far, all the events they've held in Japan were conducted in Japanese only with some very kind individuals translating it and updating a thread on reddit to keep us up to date.

Why is half of the first post factual information and the other half is made-up and/or speculation? Please stick to one or the other.

Because it began before the fan fest whe3n everything was speculation and I replaced/will replace parts with official information when they become available.

So it's Monday all over the usa( except maybe Hawaii) but I still can't get the book, anyone know what time the SE store will release it?

Hey, we get a hint than the next "Relic" weapons will probably be tied to its own content in Eureka instead of just reusing old content over and over. If it's true, that would shut a lot of complains people has about Zodiac and Anima weapons.

And also that we might have 3 raid difficulties so that odd patches wouldn't just be "catch-up" patches.

I love the idea of this but it could go very bad. The relic that is. Also what I think is more important to a lot of people is not how we are going to obtain the next relic but actually making a relic that feels like an actual Relic weapon.

The funniest thing is there is only one item in the game that is purple (relic weapon) and it isn't even *technically* the best weapon (barring crappy secondary stats on Creator weapons), this literally makes no sense. What game has a color indicated system where the best color is inferior to the second best. It's absolutely infuriating, hah.

I did want to add again though I do love the idea of Eureka and NM with 72 hour timers, bring it on.

Relics need to be more worth the time than just ilvl, they need job specific stats added but then people poo poo about balance and that everyone will be forced to get one which is nonsense.

3 raid difficulties would alleviate a lot of the strain on the community, no doubt of this, however they have not confirmed it is happening.

Maybe you should make it obvious which bits have been confirmed and which bits haven't yet? Like the budget (I keep checking the SE holdings website in both English and Japanese to try and find a provable source for the Stormblood budget but so far nothing).

So basically they would charge you 30$ for another stream but not translated this time ? ^^"
Who would buy a stream they can't understand ? (or a 30$ minion ?) oO

35 million USD compared to 12.6 million of HW (although this is a rumor at this point)

What? Why list this if it's a rumor, and where did this even come from?

It came from another forum post where the poster said it was in a Japanese earnings report for shareholders. However the poster couldn't provide a link to/proof of the report and later made it seem like he hadn't even seen the report himself.
