Keypoints:

• 4k Resolution and Dx12 support are being considered.
  
• We might go against Garlemald in 6.0
  
• The weapons Zenos yae Galvus hold aren't strictly tied to his character (possible Samurai hint)
  
• They might get rid of classes by 5.0.
  
• High chance accuracy and parry will be removed.
  
• No new races with 4.0 (RIP us, another 2 years of people spamming viera threads)
  
• Level jump potions are very likely to be added and will jump to 60.

Is there something between Ala Mhigo and Garlemald or what we will do in 5.x?

[alimdia]

Well, the continent next to us and where Garlemald is located is Ilsabard, and Garlemald is far up north of Ilsabard, if I had to guess 5.0 would be the southwestern half of Ilsabard (aka the land bridge northeast of Ala Mhigo) + Thavnair/Radz-at-Han, which is a standalone island like Vylbrand (La Noscea/Limsa), then 6.0 the northern half of Ilsabard with Garlemald, and maybe 7.0 Othard with Doma.

No new playable race

[Iromi]

Yay no new race! Hopefully means we get more customization and maybe, just maybe our 1.x bodies back lol

That was a nice interview , thanks to whomever translated it.

Eureka sounds cool too, looking forward to it . I also like how he said pay attention to the weapons in the art...and also no comment on if she's a monk or not, so yeah he never said she is one thank you. Also said derplander wearing mnk af, so...yeah.

The two things that have my curiosity piqued is that Accuracy AND Parry will/might be removed. And the level jump potions.. will they be limited to DoW/M or will they be for DoL/H as well? Could cause a lot of chaos if not handled properly..

And regarding the races... this should have been obvious at this point, rather disappointed that that even made it on any list of questions.

Level jump potions are very likely to be added and will jump to 60.

This makes me so sad. How are people supposed to know how to play that job if they get jumped up straight to 60?

I just hope if they do get the level jump potion they're forced to do the story if new players are using it.
Then atleast they can learn their rotations and skills as they go because of level sync seeing what each and every skill does.

The same way people who do fates and potd to get to 60 learn, reading tooltips, reading community made guides.

I just hope if they do get the level jump potion they're forced to do the story if new players are using it.

The story doesn't teach you how to play.
