When I saw the title of the event "Announcement Showcase" I thought it was just that. A place where they would announce some announcements.

What I thought at the time:


-Announce the fanfest in may, where the majority of the expansion features would be showcased
-Announce the title of the expansion, and some form of trailer
-Announce the game is coming to XBOX
-Announce the PS5 version of the game, and any graphical improvements that would come with it.


I feel very strongly that the game is coming to XBOX. Both teams were in talks for some time, and the barrier was that XBOX Live was required as an extra subscription to play the game.
Now, Micrsosoft has removed that roadblock. XBOX Live is no longer required to play free to play games, which would allow FFXIV to be on XBOX. It would be amazing and bring a lot of new players to the game.


Also, Yoshi-p said in an interview around Shadowbringers release, that they didn't update the game graphically with SHB because they did some graphical updates with Stormblood, and the sooner we would see another graphical update would be with 6.0. Now 6.0 will come when the Playstation 5 is out, and they are yet to release a version of the game for that console. It makes perfect sense in my mind.


Now that Yoshi-p came out and told us to have high expectations and that they will reveal a lot of information, I expect more info on the features of the expansion to be revealed. Not the most info, that would come on the digital fanfest.
I think they will:


-Talk about the theme of the expansion, and where we are going.
-Tease or reveal 1 job (out of 2)

-Update us on the new races (this is wishful thinking, but I really want them to talk about male viera or female hrothgar, or at least talk about expanded character creation)


This is not even dreaming too big, it's just what I realistically expect.
