Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

[Zojha]

If you have ever played skyrim [...]

I had a Burmecian mod for that game. Literally a walking anthropomorphic rat who couldn't wear helmets because everything clipped with my snout. It was awesome :P

Namingway, not Hummingway.

Namingway is one particular Hummingway.

Viera wont be a playable race it be identical to miqote with rabbit ears and a rabbit tail

If i remember rightly shortly after heavenward release they was looking into to have a more feral/beastial race

These are these was the ideas they was playing arounf with whilst makimg AuRa

So we may get a viera but it wouldnt look like Francis so expect a tiny bunny boy/girl with wide thighs etc

35 million USD compared to 12.6 million of HW

Now, the big question. With so much more money, will they choose the "Yes, we can do a lot more new things" or "We invested so much into that, let's play it as safe as possible" way ?

I'm quite sure that Red Mage, and Samurai were confirmed during an event.

bah we all know viera isnt a playable race because we dont/will never get butt sliders. #Fran4lyfe

giving us 4 new jobs would be a good start, but we'll see. After HW 3 quality jobs that dont need patching every hotfix/every other maintenence/every half patch number/every major patch number would be great imo.

I am not very fluent in japanese, so i have no idea how that community has fussed over the jobs, i only know this community is divided, at least much less aggressively as in the past, id almost just assume these were teasers, watch the communities ideas and make a decision. We all expect these two, but if you read how we "want" those jobs, the devs, would probably go "screw this lets give them something else they cant complain about" however, like everyone else, id love to see both, trying to keep my hopes realistic and minimal for their implementation.

Please, not swimming.
Had enough of that slow motion, muffled sound rubbish with WoW Cataclysm, GW2, Rift etc.

HW was bad enough with it's aether site hunting - when most people just went on google to find out the locations.
Much rather they focus on new classes/races - and the number one priority for me, return to an awe inspiring msq after the dip in Soul Surrender.

Another question would be "how much will be invested in the game and how muche in C$ ?"
I'de go for the letes play safe, again, after 1.0, I doubt they would let Yoshida do anything out of the box even if he wanted to.

As long as the swimming part does not include fights it could be nice, they could use it to increase the amount of explorating zone or even for quest only or add a new job focused on submarine harvest, maybe an hybrid of the 3 existing gathering job.

Yes, probably...I need to find something else two play while I suspend my sub for two months before every major patch...

Yes ! The new gatherer class ! Scuba Diver !

Please, not swimming.

Since we don't fly on our own, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be swimming on our own. Using boat-type mounts, however...

I hope they use the extra money to expand more zones, too. I would love explore more of Western La Noscea islands, Outer La Noscea floating islands, get a explorable West Shroud, expand tiny Upper La Noscea, etc. I still like the old places and would love to see more of it.
