What are you expecting the most from this patch?

Now I have to decide whether to watch the 5.0 trailer and presentation "live" on Saturday or go into Internet-lockdown until Tuesday... The patches are more enjoyable when I have no idea what's coming.

Expecting? An obvious set up for the story of the upcoming Shadowbringers expansion. And a possible solo or trial battle against Zenos.

Other then that, I don’t know what to expect. Personally, I’m more excited for the upcoming fan fest itself. Soon! The second new job we’re getting for Shadowbringers will finally show itself!

EDIT: But for the patch itself, the story is usually what I’m excited for. And outside of enjoying more Hildebrand, the story fully concluding for Stormblood is what I’m arguably most excited for.

I hope its a solo battle against Zenos. I was mad they made the fight a 4 player dungeon to where it was like you beat me one on one but I can beat you 4v1.

March 26th...

Yeah, but there's a Fan Fest before then! That's going to be exciting as it'll give out tons of details about ShB!

As far as 4.56 goes... I'm curious about the Beast Tribe quest. I wonder if we'll get anything cool from this one like when we got that facemask glamour from ARR. Also, it looks like J'ohlmyn and Alpa are relaxing in Sea of Clouds in the photo? (The terrain and airship in the background looks reminiscent of Sea of Clouds)

I hope its a solo battle against Zenos. I was mad they made the fight a 4 player dungeon to where it was like you beat me one on one but I can beat you 4v1.

To be fair, I was mad when during the 2 encounters with Zenos during the leveling MSQ where it was a forced defeat, despite the fact that I didn't actually die when fighting him and was able to chip him down to 50% life before the game was like "Nope!" and forced the loss...

I think when it comes to beating him 4 on 1.

I'm pretty sure its a case of suspension of disbelief; this being an MMO you have to play with other people and it wasn't a MSQ mini boss you do solo.

So I think Lore wise, we beat him solo. Gameplay wise, we beat him 4v1.

I think the only time they actually mention taking our fellow adventurers was with Susanoo...for some reason.

It gets referenced more often than not, actually. There'll often be some reason for you to go and fetch some allies before you enter a dungeon.

When was this announced? I saw a FB post on 4.56 but it just said “soon”

[TitaniaZero]

Considering this patch that is coming is late March... One cannot get any more late than the 26th. (The typical times they throw out their patches are tues and the 26th is the last tuesday of the month.)

I kinda hope it is truly the end of Hildibrand (not killing him off, just end of the story! XD). I like him, but for ShB I'd prefer to see a new character for comic relief. Hildy felt so forcibly stretched the last couple patches
