I was a bit sad that they couldn't reveal anything new system-wise or talk about the new lifestyle content.
Other than the artwork we got for it, we were told it would be social this time. That is a significant improvement from Island Sanctuary, which destroyed a lot of the social interaction we had in prior expansions from Bozja/Ishgard Restoration and Eureka.

A lot of the stuff which they showed at EU fanfest was stuff we were already expecting
Always the case. For example, we knew we were getting the same amount of dungeons as normal, 2 new jobs, an increase to level 100, a new job starting at 80. We know we get 2 cities, 6 areas, new fates, hunts, treasure maps and blue mage updates. We knew that for prior expansions too. Just got to set yourself realistic expectations. We had some new stuff and that was what I expected.

The new limited job, FF16 collab, Fall Guys footage, the new Alliance Raid, the new job reveal and footage of many of these things and new areas, for example. We also got artwork of some new areas and dungeons.

I don't want to be negative and was also a bit hesitant to share my concerns here on the forums, because i don't want to ruin the mood.
Hahaha, the mood on these forums has long been negative. You wouldn't be changing the mood here at all.
