Yeah, sounds about right.

Anyone excited for fanfest in two weeks? I've got plans to stay up for the concert.

xD


I'll be watching fanfest via one of my favorite FFXIV youtubers.

Anyone excited for fanfest in two weeks? I've got plans to stay up for the concert.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm pretty excited for the expansion itself but since it isn't out until Autumn that's a bit of a dampener on my overall enthusiasm for now.

Still, I'm hoping the May announcements reveal something big. I'm hoping for one or more of the following:

- The new melee DPS to be a darkness based job, preferably using a scythe.
- Blitzball and/or Ishgardian chess as Gold Saucer attractions.
- Garlemald and/or Rabanastre restoration.
- A 'third eye' glamour for Garlean role-players and/or more Garlean themed outfits in general.
- Male Viera and female Hrothgar.
- Additional customisation options for the existing playable races.

Anyone read any good books lately?

I just read Bokurano and am now in the middle of The Idiot.

It's not really a book, but I'm reading Demon Slayer volume 12.

Oh neat.
I didn't know it was from a manga.
How is it?

Most anime are originally manga and light novels.

It gets even better as the story goes! Though Tanjiro has a really bad habit of getting put up in the infirmary alot. xD

Yup, and I didn't realize DS was.

Haha I'll bet~
You a big manga reader?

I'll wait until it's over and read up on the reveals at my leisure. I'm lazy.

Mainly I'm curious what the melee job will be, so I can go blow some poetics on Scaevan gear to start it off.

I'd be more excited if I could actually attent the FanFest. Just watching streams live never really did it for me. If I can only watch it anyway I might aswell do so at my own leisure.
News travel fast and I'll be able to catch up with everything that was announced including all the theories surrounding it later. I hope they will reveal more about the two jobs, preferably about the melee job. Some pointers about where they intend to go with healers would be great but I don't expect it yet.
Other than that I'm generally patient with announcement and there is nothing I need to know right now. It never made a difference for me wether I knew it 2 months or 2 days before release.
If the forum and discords are on fire, I'll know that it was something big and very controversial

I know it's not the HUGEST achievement by far, but I just got my Dark Knight to level 70, which will soon make it my third class to level 80, and my first tank to level 80. I'm... really, really proud.
