What do you hope will be announced at FanFest?

Hi People. We ran out of cash, so were owned by Activision now.

Prepare yourself for the next final fantasy, now on MOBILE. Now with 100% more hardware limitations.

What I expect is pretty bare bones, but what I'd like/love to hear is an overhaul of the game's tired formula. 3 points in particular.

1: Some system for customizing gameplay. The simplest solution is more interesting stats on gear, but a talent tree, sub jobs, etc would also fit the bill.
2: More interesting and varied battle content. Instead of predictable dungeons/trials/raids in a format so unchanging I could tell you what's going to be in patch 7.3, I would like to see new formats for battle content. Even things as simple as "Defend this outpost from waves of enemy attacks" or "Deliver this bomb to its destination" would be a welcome relief from the linear, predictable content we have now.
3: Ease up on the freakishly steep vertical progression. Nothing we accomplish in the game has any long lasting meaning as it is. I can slave and slave for a new set of gear (that is already super boring because of the lack of interesting stats) and in a couple months time that gear with be both worthless and incredibly easy to get.

What I hope for is anything that stops the constant whining on the forums.

[Fawkes]

I hope that idiots don't ask stupid, useless glamour-related questions during the Q&A and that the bunny autismos don't get their copypasta'd rabbit thot race.

Glamour questions are basically the only thing that might actually get an answer, everything else is always "we can't talk about that yet" or "it would be too hard so we have no plans to do that".

Hope you're ready for 6+ months of maintenance downtime then.

Oh, not refundable though they might suspend further subs during that period.

If content lasts more than the usual 24-48 hours, 6 months won't be a big issue.

I mean i'd rather wait 6, 9, even a year if this means getting better content that lasts a little more than the current content we have...at least I'll have something to look for.

Take all of my likes.

There's truth in what you say, but that doesn't make it acceptable.

In an ideal world I’d love to see some footage of new actions for current jobs, maybe something about new jobs and maybe something about upcoming content?

I’m reality they’ll show us some new exclusive mogstation merch ($50 dollar minion incoming?), ignore addressing any feedback about existing content, avoid answering questions and make some meme jokes about ‘plz look forward to it’ when they can’t be bothered doing the event anymore. And maybe some barely relevant interviews with whichever staff member they managed to grab that day

First Fanfest only gets the vaguest teasers always. Expansion name drop, first part of the trailer, hint to one of the jobs, "lvl cap will be X" (as if we didn't know what it would be), etc.

It's mostly just to start building hype.
