Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

[Teraluna]

This Relic thing is sounding like a ftp type of treadmill, ala Neverwinter refining.
Sure, there's this promised pot of gold at the end of the road.
But in actuality the road is littered with roadblocks, stalling mechanics, extended cooldown timers, meaning that it's completely mythical for people who actually have a work/social life outside the game.
I hope I'm reading this wrong with the 72hr zerg fest, slight chance of getting something if you can actually get in to do it, then rinse and repeat groundhog days for weeks and weeks and weeks - sounds fun......

The Dancer in the Stormblood Trailer is Yda.

Other than the costume, I don't think anything in the CS screams Dancer. When they start their battle, she takes the same stance as the WoL MNK. They trade blow for blow, perfectly countering each other. At 1:22 the sound effect indicates that she did Howling Fist before the WoL (whose hand is surrounded by wind) throws a punch that does the exact same sound effect. The only thing the trailer indicates to me is that the WoL is a terrible MNK. He uses Fists of Wind at the end and she uses Fists of Fire like a good MNK.

Edit: at 1:53 https://youtu.be/mAobb8_SzHY?t=113, she even throws a knee which looks almost exactly like the iconic image of the MNK concept art:

I'm still gunning that the girl is indeed a DNCER from the trailer because while shes fighting our derplander mnk after she punched hard but blocks. She jumps back and does a VISIBLE jig before attacking again. So I am still going to say DNCER. Maybe with Puglist -> class to Mnk or DNC. Similar to SCH and SMN

Besides just from how she moves, and how her hands are in the cutscenes - how fluid her movements. It screams dancer to me.

They look similar but she lacks the Archon tattoos on her neck.

I thought they said ACN was a failed experiment and they won't be splitting multiple jobs from a single class again because of the pain of balancing? D:

To be fair, arcanist failed because it split into a healer and a dps, so it had to have skills for both (and balancing the stat points was a bit of a pain). Should MNK and DNC both be DPS, that would help. The skill system revamp...might also help? I'm not sure how it works.

This and they seem to be trying to distance themselves as far as possible from the class system as a whole. Especially considering that Heavensward jobs didn't even have classes, I highly doubt Stormsblood jobs will suddenly have base classes again.

revamped battle system - Is what im pulling straws at, but it could be totally wrong lol. I just keep hopes in mind




Edit:

Back on the trailer. The other reason that bothers me that she isn't a MNK is mnks fight with closed fists similar to how the derplander is doing. But when you pause her movements she is fighting with her hand flat like a knife similar to a flourish. so It bothers me. I don't see her as a mnk. its just odd.

Well maybe she is. I dont know its just strange that Yoshi would say the derplander is a mnk but would not say they are both mnks.

We also never fought Hraesvelger on the Steps of Faith, as the Heavensward teaser showed us. These trailers aren't made by the devs, so something as small as a tattoo could easily be forgotten or lost in development.

A 4th Residential Area to be added. Where? "Sorry, can't tell ya." This was in the reddit post. Does this mean Ishgard housing that disappeared from 3.4 to be dead?

Next 16 weeks (not 3 months) from 3.4 would probably be 3.5 that puts it right at the start of January. Means June for summer is 20 weeks at the earliest, that is at least 5 months between a Major content update. Didn't another game get killed for that kind of patch cycle?


More inventory will be great. But doesn't it sound like a wet blanket, There is uncertainty in how this will be implemented due to the server needs. Isn't that what we have heard since the end of 2.0 Instead of trying to make more inventory space wouldn't better management of items seem more reasonable. With the PS3 going away shouldn't wardrobe type things everyone keeps telling me how awesome in other games be more reasonable. Also do we need 5 types of blood and all the different types of sand streamlining mats and recipes all the way up to 60 would go a long way.
