I personally expected a bit more from EU Fanfest

If you increase the visual quality of the stream on youtube, then some areas clearly look a lot better than currently.

Other than the artwork we got for it, we were told it would be social this time.

FF16 collab, Fall Guys footage

Oh yeah. Those things you named in your post are definitely things I am big excited about. I also loved the area and dungeon design tbh. I play GNB so I am excited that there is still a "mech" theme in Dawntrial.
This means there might still be good armor sets to farm for GNB.

I also agree that it made me happy that the new lifestyle content will be more social compared to Island sanctuary.
I hope it will be something which might spark new communities which interact with each other similar to housing content.

And I also liked the FFXVI collab and the Fall guys collab, even though i got a bit sad, that the fall guys content won't be permanent, which is a bummer in my opinion.
These are the things I liked a lot.

But I found especially the stuff about the graphics update and other new content a little underwhelming.
But I am also new to this fanfest cycle, so it might have also to do with me not knowing what to expect yet.
