    I may be wrong but isn't the whole 'increased budget' thing a myth? If somebody could link me to a direct source then that would be pretty great. Personally I'm hoping that the development team are being secretive and that the next Fan Fest will announce something pretty major as an additional feature. My preference would be major updates to the character creation system. We're not getting a new race and we don't really need one when many of the existing playable races are in dire need of some tweaks to make them more appealing/popular.

    OP please go back and look at what we knew of Heavensward with only 2/3 FanFests held. What we have now is roughly comparable to what we had then. The final FanFest will reveal much more and go into a lot more detail on many of the new systems.

    Whilst I too have never seen proof of the tripled budget claim it does seem likely based on what has been announced, though not for the reasons many would like to believe. Yoshi has announced a series of sweeping changes to improve inventory and various other things that will cost quite a lot in terms of storage capacity and rewrites of fundamental systems. Those changes are going to be expensive. They definitely will have received a considerably larger budget to accommodate those changes.
