I personally expected a bit more from EU Fanfest

I would enjoy having ff11 artifact gear as glams from the raids. Especially if they bring the red mage and dancer artifact stuff from 11.

The FFXI dancer bolero is so fire, I wished we had that in this game. This may be its chance to make it in

I'd be really happy if this ends up being one of the 3 Alliance Raids aiming set. For once in a lifetime, they would actually cater to dancers.

This is pretty much standard affair and I would say you set your expectations way too high.

You have to remember, they don't want to reveal too much and spoil the content. They cannot show too much because it is still in development and might not even be complete yet etc.

The main draw of fanfest is to meet people who also share a common interest and to potentially meet up with people from your FC. It is about the social gathering, the events they have on, all to celebrate FFXIV. It just also happens to be good place to start talking about the next expansion, of which again, they don't want to reveal everything.

Yeah I expected it to be on par with NA fanfest for me. Maybe it is also because most of the reveals weren't exactly for me.

But for me at least it felt less exciting than NA fanfest. After NA I still focussed on talking and thinking about all the reveals for several days after.
Now with EU I don't feel there is too much "new stuff" to talk and think about.

That looked more Garlean than Allagan to me... If I could guess, it would be 'Garlean colony that became independent after the empire was gone'. Some stuff seemed a bit wrecked and on fire in the concept arts, so I'd guess they will be in conflict with the locals as well.

I found it also kinda interesting that there seems to be a lot of Ceruleum in Tural, which is the thing, which made the garleans able to produce magitech and get to the level where they are now.

I understand some want for Meracydia, but at most we could get some nods, but no real connections yet.

I seriously doubt we will ever see meracydia in Dawntrail(just like if it was the reverse, we would of stuck to only hearing whispers of the new world)

Though as usual, hidden areas always are surprises.

Which can be Expanded Zones of Cereuleum, or Hidden Cities.

But again, way to early to speculate, and they wouldn't want to burn up cards for future expacs yet.(so highly doubt there will be any meracydia for the next 2+ yrs)

edit:
Yeah, there is alot of Ceruleum, which some will have heard from past lores, mostly related to Blue Mages. But I won't delve deep beyond that, as some I believe would have likely yet to do much of it.

Which I guess would make sense why the BLU Update happened recently, and the next segment of it for Dawntrail.

The new DNC AF looks pretty great too, hopefully it translates well to a 3D model.

[samsaraSaber]

look nice, want to see how it will play.

Just makes me wonder if it'll be in two pieces that make sense, or will the bottoms contain the long bits of cloth that split right at the waist.
Can imagine some common combinations with the top, if it has the dropped lenghts of cloth with the top, rather than the bottoms.

I would love having that it would also fit my character to have as a lilisette cosplay outfit.

Still having trouble getting excited, though I'm at least mildly interested in seeing where they're going with high tech elements later in the expansion.

I am seeing that they are focussing on graphical updates on the graphics panel right now at fan fest.

I didn't think this would happen. So I might still get my graphics update insights.

So I personally take back what I said about the graphics update.
