February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

[Gemina]

Realistic expectations:
- Expansion announcement
- Yoshi wearing t shirt hint as usual

Unrealistic expectations:
- character creator improvement
- PS4 support dropped and moved to Ps5
- graphics engine upgrade
- Hempen Camise/Pantalette outfit’s race restrictions removed
- Blitzball
- Viera Male/Hrothgar Female
- Basically anything
- Male races get better beards

I don’t know, maybe I’m being too pessimistic, but I’m just so used to dissatisfaction from the dev team that it doesn’t even faze me anymore...and I just expect it. So when yoshida says “feel free to have high expectations” for February 5, I can’t help but see that as a troll statement.

Considering that you have 4x as many unrealistic expectations that includes "basically anything" than you do realistic expectations, you might be better off just tuning out come Feb 5th, and spare yourself a boatload of disappointment. You might instead want to reflect on why you play the game currently. If you want a different mmo so badly, then play another mmo.

When you title a thread, "February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread", you create an expectation that at the very least you will be the one to provide some of those. Instead, you used it as a front to voice various improvements you want with the game; effectively turning it into a wish thread. While I can't guarantee anything, I would put several months salary on the line in wager than none of your unrealistic expectations will make it into the Feb 5th announcement. I would wager even more that they never make it into the game at all.

When Yoshi says to bring high expectations come Feb 5th, I am pretty sure he is not talking to the pessimistic, debbie downer who is greatly dissatisfied with the current state of the game. He is talking to those who are actually excited to see what they've cooked up.
