What do you hope will be announced at FanFest?

[kikix12]

For the items on my wish list? Wouldn't be remotely necessary. If they wanted to overhaul the game's engine or code to shed some of the handicaps left over from 1.0, sure I'd be willing to deal with some downtime. I'm not convinced that's on the table though or be a reasonable expectation.

Several months of downtime would cost them more than doing the upgrades in the background and spending just a few days at most for the final push.

We're talking about servers, computers, here. You don't have to take down a server to copy files from it to another one. It's done repeatedly for backup already. So company would set up another server with the "new stuff", syphon transferable data to it from backups (to avoid overworking the live servers) over a longer while, then when they would be nearly caught up issue a few-days-long maintenance at most to stop generation of new data and update the new servers with what was not in the backups.

Seriously, people. Months of downtime won't happen if the original is still giving money. Downtime costs more than avoiding it.

More glamour plates

Cool it with the Balmung crap. You have no idea what this girl is like. All she said was she didn’t want an over sexualized race.

While calling people autistic in the process...

[Awful]

I just want something new to progress instead of this crap that we got with Eureka and hopefully better class identity and playstyles, All my hopes are on this fanfest so I hope it delivers.

[Altera]

I just hope they dont pull a Blizzcon Diablo Immortal and announce Final Fantasy Eureka Mobile Game.
Starting to loose faith in videogame developers/publishers when you keep seeing the greedy monitization they come up with these days.
Like Activision and Destiny. OOoh the reason people have left the game and we loose money was due to Eververse and microtransactions? No worries Investors, we will put more micros and dlcs in. That sure will regain player trust xD

And being a SAM with the most popular (and therefore generic) female human face from a pity server somehow makes you superior? Lol, okay.

Pity server? I left balmung after 7 years because I was sick of queues. Went to a small server that then became another RP hub unfortunately.. At least I have a house though.

I guess it's OK to call someone an "austismo" because they like viera. I don't even really like viera tbh, I just thought that was a bit silly coming from the most generic erp race lol.

I see more variety in faces on midlanders anyway, usually face 1, not 5. At least I'm not generic small horns with dark skin and blonde hair au ra.

As for the SAM bite, I can play anything, I have everything to 70. At least I'm good at SAM though.

Cool it with the Balmung crap. You have no idea what this girl is like. All she said was she didn’t want an over sexualized race.

I was on Balmung 3 years before you started playing (when the servers were merged to create it). I think I can poke fun at the server.

She said nothing about not wanting an oversexualized race. She called people who wanted Viera Autistic. I guess that's ok tho, but making a jab at Balmung isn't.

Why doesn't it works of me? did I miss something? ( I haven't been that much active lately)

EDIT: Nevermind I found a guide, I haven't noticed that feature, thanks for telling me!

Care to share? I have two different healer plates and I have to re-aply them each time I change jobs. I've been looking but I can't find any written information.

As for hopes for the new expansion...uhh...something to do in the open world, besides hunts and gathering. I'd be really happy with some better skeletons for the four legged creatures in this game too since they're probably not going to fix the way chocobos look.

My wish list is fairly long and extensive. I don't expect to get even half of it but I'll throw it out there anyway:

1. A beastmaster job with animal companions that fight alongside you. (I realize the new jobs have supposedly been leaked already but that's why this is a wish!)

2. Housing in Ishgard and the Sea of Clouds

3. An overhaul of Feast's abysmal rewards system.

4. The ability to send my retainers on longer ventures to get specific items (i.e. 8 hours to bring back 240 items, for example)

5. More integration with Beast Tribes other than "do these quests / get this mount / kthxbye" . Like being able to recruit them into our squadron.

6. FATEs that have more meaning in the world at large. It's fine if they are rarer and there aren't as many of them. They could be like Ixion/Odin and give great rewards to make people want to do them more often.

7. Crafter items that drop from dungeons to make items from within those dungeons (like ARR did).

8. Ending the need for 4 crafters to be in a workshop to progress a craft, OR, at least letting us donate more items at a time and only requiring the crafters to be present in order to complete the item.

9. More tribal-looking gear like the woad set or South Seas Talisman. Dyeable, too.

And for everyone who wants a bunny or Ronso-like race (I want the latter! ), I hope you get it! Everyone deserves things in a game that make them happy and excited to play.

Someone calls people who want Viera autistic: All good fam.

Someone makes a "lol balmung" comment: WOAH WOAH HOL' UP! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS PERSON IS LIKE FIRST OFF--

I think you should change that White Mage to White Knight for your main class :v

If you go to your list of gear sets, you can right click on one of the healers and choose "Link to glamour plate". That means that job will be associated with the plate you pick. Do the same for the other healer and the second plate.

The old restrictions still apply (it only changes looks if you're in a town).
