Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

[Balipu]

For clarification on something the OP mentioned, It was between flying, swimming, or underground. (Before 2.0 it was between jumping, flying, swimming or climbing, with hints of swimming being the prefered option to take, but he didnt think climbing or swiming would be good additions to the game, and even thinks jumping wasnt that great, but would probably be good to add, to mimic WoW.)

While flying won, yoshida then said swimming or underground MIGHT be whats next. With strong hints he'd prefer to make underground probably because its way easier.
Later he also added the moon as a possible location we go to in the expansion, making the choices swim, underground, or moon, which he then was hinting more towards the moon. (this was announced back in 3.0)

Didn't know about underground. I remember him saying that he wants to go to the moon, but he didn1t really give an ETA for that if I remember correctly.

Central theme
- 3.0 was going to be either about flying or swimming. Flying won, so swimming should come next.
.

It was said that it was going to be either flying or swimming, yet they never confirmed they would then do the other next, only that it lost. There also seems to be quite a lack of water from much of the landscape concept art they've released so far. I doubt swimming will be a focus in this expansion considering the environments surrounding Ala Mhigo, though they might allow us to move through water finally as an addition if they choose to develop that.

That Deep dungeon boss has to be Zalera from FFXII
He's one of my favorite primals/summons in the series

I hope that open world pvp bit is limited to specific areas...was an absolute nightmare on other games with full open world.

Yoshi-P said that if, IF, they do it that it would be limited to specific PvP Servers.

I would love LOVE LOVE swimming to be included. I had a load of fun swimming and exploring underwater areas back when I played Guild Wars 2.

and not-cute races because japanese don't like em.

Stupidest reason I've ever read. The first two points I get. Lore and technical whatevers, but that last one is extremely stupid. 'No not-cute because..." just implies that future races will only be cute :/

Why bother making a new race at all?
