Was Kind of Hoping for New Systems

[Ryvick]

I have been meaning to ask, Are we able to dismount our chocobos and other flying mounts in mid flight currently? I ask because when I try to do so I always land first before being able to be dismounted. If we can't then according to the Benchmark trailer, being able to go straight from flight into a combat action while in Mid-Flight seems like a pretty major Z-axis improvement to the game and flight systems. And it seems like a largely glossed over improvement.

AFAIK, no, you can't dismount mid-flight, unless you hover just above the floor.

I wouldn't put too much stock in that sort of thing. The benchmark is primarily designed to test performance and they often put in little cinematic things that work in a pre-planned sequence because they can take short cuts behind the scenes, knowing it will play the same way every time.

Without an actual announcement of such things in a live letter or similar, I'd assume that the mid air dismount is just a fun animation thing that we might possibly see more of it's kind in cutscenes, rather than an actual coming gameplay change.

It'd be nice but I wouldn't advise getting your hopes up for this being an actual thing.

Has there been any mention of expanding our inventory at all? There's only so much you can get rid of when you're an omnicrafter and need all 11 tools + combat class weapons etc. My armoury is always on life support. Year after year. That and no hats on Viera still are my only big concerns (plus the entire PCT artifact debacle of gender locking b.s.)

I haven't seen any updates on inventory space and given that previous increases were highlighted in previous Live Letters, I doubt we're getting any.

Beast masters not coming til .4

Only SE could announce a new job as part of an expansion and then add on *Not for about a year and a half

If by "New Systems" the OP means something like Variant and Criterion Dungeons, we're probably not going to see things like that this expansion.

The players on these forums have already told SE that such efforts were not appreciated.

Expectations and realization differed enough to ensure anything new is going to be replaced by Tried-and-True things, like Bozja-like instances. Maybe.
