    I told everyone it would be 2027. My predictions for the dates were...

    NA Fanfest
    Prediction: 27th February - 2nd March 2026
    Reality: April 24th-25th

    EU Fanfest
    Prediction: Late May/Early June 2026
    Reality: July 25/26th 2026

    JP Fanfest
    Prediction: Late July/Early August 2026
    Reality: October 31st - November 1st 2026

    The first 2 fanfests suggest the patch cycle is set to be thrown off by 1 month. JP Fanfest suggest it is likely to be thrown off by 3 months. Why? Because remember, they have to do the media tour after JP fanfest and there is a good month of an embargo on that and at least a month before and after.

    Now remember, there were 6 months between the JP Fanfest and 7.0.

    Thus, we could see 8.0 all the way in May 4th 2027 (assuming 26 weeks after JP Fanfest like Dawntrail was), which is once again 3-4 months later than the expected time of January.
