NA FanFest Expectations?(Idea, or Hopes?)

Isn't this sad? FF14 players proactively lower their expectations.

I'm hoping for a reveal of how female Hrothgar will look.

I'm expecting a teaser trailer, more information about the graphics update, and them revealing a few non-story related systems or content that 7.0 will add.

I don't think any jobs will get revealed, since AFAIK for Shadowbringers, the two job reveals were at the last 2 Fanfests rather than the first.

Ditto. I still have some vague hope one may turn up in 6.5..

Based off the last fan fest, we aren't getting any 7.0 news if it follows suit. Not even the expansion name. The first fan fest last time was all about 5.5. I think the only thing we might have gotten was the Sage reveal, I certainly remember that happening, but the archives said that came later.

I'm expecting the reveal of the next expansion, a teaser trailer, and a general overview of what's coming in the expansion (zone names, 8-man raid, etc). Job reveals are generally saved for the 2nd and 3rd Fan Fests.

It sounds like you're mistaking the February 2021 Announcement Showcase/Live Letter for the first Fan Fest. The showcase revealed Endwalker (+ teaser trailer) along with Sage, while the Live Letter was about patch 5.5.
All three 2020/2021 Fan Fests (NA, JP, EU) were cancelled due to covid-19 restrictions. They were merged into one Digital Fan Fest that covered the majority of the Endwalker info, which happened in May 2021.

My biggest hope and expectation is an update to the character creation.
But I'll be happy with anything they give us, really, as new content is always exciting to me, especially if we get to visit new, unknown lands!

Also, I'm very eager to learn more about the graphic overhaul. I hope it'll be mentioned in this first Fanfest, though I don't expect them to show much yet.

Yeah, NA fanfest is usually pretty bare for next expansion info. Often just one of the new jobs, art of some of the new regions new raids, and some art of raids and a teaser of trailer.

Biggest thing I am excited for(and moreso because Yoshi expressed a lot of excitement towards it recently in an interview) is the new graphics update. I wanna see more of the work on that and if it's even better than what they showed off last year in Feb/2022!
