The Heavensward Site Has Been Updated!

[Mugiawara]

Why would I want to know about everything before it comes out? I already know I want the expansion. I wanna learn about all those job skills, quests, items, whatever, by actually....I don't know...playing the game? Crazy I know.

I just think the gap between contents are pretty large, recently we just completed the story line and all, so this wasn't a too big of a patch. :/
The last big fun thing was GS which still has people actively TTing and stuff. I personally do want more info and all so we have more to speculate and talk about.
Every good info we get has us busy for a while....at least on the forums. The Au'ra info makes me happy! I like the Raen...<3 I'm surprised they're more enclosed than the Xaela
which I thought they would be...I may even RP as an Au'ra.~ I just dont' like the scales on the other clan sadly but who knows? I'll see soon.
Wish they release benchmark. ; ;

As for Job's...I agree with LovesCake, more information is slapped on DRK than any other. I want my AST/MAC love please...
But thanks SE for the new fun info!

Job lore information is enough for now.

We still have 2 months before the June release anyways.

No one seems to like the element of surprise anymore. I must be living in the stone age or something.

We're not beggars, we're paying customers. In the age where corporations expect us to follow the PREORDER NOW instruction from just the title of a videogame, it's simply a reasonable /doubt.
Of course nobody wants details of quests or the storyline or fights or things like that, but there's certain concerns when a big announcement can be boiled down to "In expansion, there's gonna be content."
Especially since in addition to new stuff there's always pressing concerns such as housing, or uselessness of SS and elemental materia, and others that go unaddressed for months, the expansion is basically supposed to define how (and if) we're gonna play this game for another 15+ months. It's only natural that people knowledgeable about the game want to know at least some finer details to look ahead for.

Personally, from the last LL 3.0 just feels like a really large content patch. There's no big qualitative jump that makes me really hype because it's gonna change (improve?) how we play FFXIV. It's just more content and that's it.
No, flying isn't that jump. It's just a marketing gimmick.

Must be new to MMO's. Expansions have always followed the
X amount of new zones
X amount of new classes
New Story
Sometimes a new race.

More times than not they never talk about skills or spells, or gear for the most part in the lead up.

Not relevant. It doesn't matter what other MMOs do.

I'm sorry, but comments like that reek of entitlement. You pay for the service of accessing the working game's servers. That's it, that's all. You are not entitled to any more than that. If you're so unhappy with the content planned, you certainly don't have to buy the expansion. From the sounds of things, you don't have much experience with MMOs or gaming in general.(Though I could be wrong, I doubt it) A bit of teasing without giving away the whole feature list of a product is a good thing. Discovery is part of the enjoyment. If you don't enjoy that kind if thing, I wish you all the luck finding a company that does it any other way.

Edit: Kyuven's response a few pages back is pretty much right on target.

This kinda line of thought is why 1.0 happened, by the by.
Trying to shut up any kind of criticism with "you're just ignorant" is kinda fanboyish, don't you think? In a "My favorite game can do no wrong!" way.
Basically, I'd appreciate it if you stopped with prettied up personal attacks and false analogies on anybody who dares to question SE.
