February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

[Deceptus]

The "PS3 limitation" came more from the fact that it used completely different architecture compared to most PCs and consoles.

And a HELL of a lot less RAM (256 MB)

Playing on PS3 was horrible. That is what I started this game on. Thankfully the PS4 version wasn't too far behind, so I was able to make the switch relatively quickly, but I couldn't imagine ever going back. May it rest in pieces.

"Back in my day, most players cleared coil on ps3! All you gamers with your FRAPS and RAMS don't know tru struggle"
(I actually did coil up to T5 on ps3. No clear though hehe)

Realistic expectations:
- No Matter whats talked about, we will see handfuls of threads complaining about it
- People Chanting Male Viera in the Chat

Unrealistic expectations:
- The Forums wont fill with tons of people complaining about something
- Male Viera & Female Hrothgar Anoounced

Double Jeopardy:
- Hrothgar and Viera Headgear and Hair announcements

[Gameovers]

Are we ready for infos? :O

Did anyone make our bingo?

Zanarkand-Ronso's "someone will be upset" will be the freebie in the center lol.

I am expecting the PS5 upgrade will be announced along with confirmation it is finally coming to Xbox Series X|S. I know that has been in the works for a while. I am guessing when 6.0 released there will be a complete collection released for Xbox. I would love some new hairstyles for Hrothgar/Viera but not sure SE even cares about those two races anymore since we've had 2 years go by and nothing.

I think a really important (or at least useful) thing with these sorts of announcements is to be eager but non-specific.

I'm looking forward to it but it's just "they're going to show some upcoming things that I haven't seen before".

If you go into it expecting or hoping for a specific announcement, the event will be disappointing because it failed to announce the thing you wanted rather than because of what content was actually in it, even if the actual reveals are good.

Would be really nice if we got any information about more UI options, would love if i was able to disable the "healing received" numbers as it does close to nothing for me but take up more screen space.

Info on how Hrothgar female and male viera are coming along would also be nice.

Which would make me about as interested as I am in the newest FIFA game. I guess I'm one of those weird oldschool people that like the tab target based combat, doesn't exactly help that all of those "action combat" mmos have been absolutely terrible shovelware.

TERA wasn't bad. BDO ain't bad. BnS wasn't bad either, etc. I get the old school tab-targeting feeling but,...could it just be that you are genuinely not very good at action combat games? Considering they are faster paced than tab-targeting i can understand that some people can't keep up very well. Which is usually the case. But unfortunately, with FFXV being action combat and FFXVI being action combat.....the next FFMMO is most likely going to be, you guessed it, action combat.
