So, what was missing? (FanFest 2021)

[Sotaris]

You're probably correct but it also a LL during a fanfest, we may get some information and announcement. We'll know within 12 hours.

Considering we have 6 months until release I can only imagine that there will be some type of press tours over the coming months with each one shedding a bit more light on things that may not have been fully touched on last night. All of that will more than likely run right up to the point of them releasing the job abilities trailer and benchmark program.. or so I suspect.

Yeah in/around august-september I would imagine

5.5 part 2 is the last content patch before Endwalker. We still have 6 months and a number of live letters before launch. I imagine any live letters post fanfest will focus on the Expansion. Also keep in mind a lot of content is still in development, hence the slightly delayed release date. Better to under promise and over deliver than announce something and have it end up left out because it wasn't ready yet.

Well, the Q&A was pretty disappointing. I didn't mind the questions that were asked but definitely would have liked to have at least a couple of more pressing issues be addressed. The biggest problem, though, was just the time. It was great that YoshiP was so willing to go in depth to answer each question but there just was not anywhere near enough time allotted for the Q&A (not to mention they started late and ended early). Ideally this segment should have been a couple hours long by itself.

Supposedly YoshiP is answering each approved question by email to the person who asked it but that doesn't really help the general audience if it's not compiled and posted somewhere we can all see it.

Literally the worst Q&A they have ever done. Extremely disappointed that the question screening led to this crap fluff parade. I know that's how these usually go, but they also usually answer at least 1 or 2 actually good questions, but not this time.

Isnt it some of the good question already answered with email interview with some youtuber like mrhappy etc? and I am pretty sure that all thing they can answer and inform already being answered and informed in the Keynote and the live letter, the main reason for the live Q&A is more likely to be directly involved with fans and player, in that aspect I think thats enough

there was literally ZERO chance of anything controversial being asked. not sure what everyone was expecting.

The Class and Encounter Design teams to match Soken's quality performance?

Really though some insight into what they're going to do at a broad level would have been nice. You can highlight some goals based on prior feedback without committing to any tangible changes at this point, which also facilitates player feedback by allowing us to focus on current aspects we find in conflict with their goals, and that kind of feedback is useful in the interim. That's why people are disappointed.

Well nobody is saying controversial questions should have been asked, but they could have talked more about actual gameplay.
