I'm starting to compare what we learned at the "Heavensward Year" fan festivals versus this "Stormblood Year" fan festivals.
So, POP QUIZ:
What could we benefit from knowing, right now, in the game, before the expansion comes out?

Starting Levels, Gear, Roles for Each Announced Job
So let us say, theoretically, that Red Mage is coming out. Sure we're going to figure out what role they are, but there's a lot more we would like to know right now while we have access to Moogle quests and have some free time to level jobs. As active players before expansion, it'd be nice if we were treated to this knowledge as a loyalty "thank you" to prepare. Many friends aren't active so it'd be nice to take advantage of this extra time to get ready.
- What crafting classes should we have ready at L60-70 for their gear?
- What roles should we practice learning to get used to the abilities?
- Are there pre-requisities?
- Is there levels of gear (30-60?) we can craft ahead of time for these jobs?
- What is their starting level?
- Will there be any existing parts of the game that we should unlock or complete to save extra time right now?
- What advice can you give to players to do in order to get ready?
Please correct me without a flamethrower if I am wrong.... I don't think we will see a new race, but if there is one... Didn't we learn about the Auri at the second Fan Festival? So maybe a new race if there is one. We will get more info on the "Scarlett Witch" I am sure, and the big man will wear a hint shirt for the second job. We may learn exactly how many new jobs we are getting too. I think we did last time but I could be remembering it wrong.
Expect some info on new Primals too.
What I really need, and this ties into jobs, is I need some info on this battle system overhaul they mentioned. As on topic I don't know if we will get that, but I need to know what's happening on that front more so then the jobs front.
Can I just check every box on the list?
I'll get as much info as they can handle. The hype for Stormblood and the VERY general overview of their goals was barely enough at the Vegas Fanfest. Need some crunch for the fluff, though I can understand why they'd say so little about that so early in the xpansion's development.
