kuronaialtani: Someone had a gigabrain theory about the Rhitahtyn shirt yoship wore at Anaheim.

Rhitahtyn sas Arvina's name means Right, as in righteous. Guess who's back is a lyric by Eminem, with a mention of Marshal. Rhitahtyn wields dual shields. Now we're coming up on the Berlin fanfest. And in Berlin, long ago, people held judicial duels with bladed shields. Specifically in Berlin these duels were carried out.

Dual shields - shields - Judge or Marshal is my bet on the tank name.

prince0fangels: I'm afraid they will not be answering about "New Ways to Raise Item Level" at the end of that segment we got the "More Details to Come in Tokyo!"

I recently rewatched the NA FanFest and tracked what would be expanded on in Berlin and we can expect:

More settings on the Forth

Seasons

Character Action Skills/Skins

Improving Quest

Adding a Third Difficulty (which I really want to know more about)

1st Job

Duty Support Update (2 Players)

More on Alliance Raid

manybies2878: I feel like this live letter is even more important than normal, they have a LOT of questions to answer

cursedtea-nk3gb: So excited to get your take on FanFest in Berlin! I would have LOVED to go myself, but I'm glad to get the inside scoop from my favorite XIV YouTuber!

zegichiban: Hope you enjoy fan fest! I'm going to the Tokyo one, it will be my first one in person, I'm so excited!

janina3879: I'm still praying for a Halone type shield and lance/spear tank. Valkyrie.

It will definitely be a shield tank (main and off tank being a thing now). The question is if it will be a shield hammer, shield spear or double shield.

I want to see more on evolved for sure.

And character customization.. aand god please, an improved housing system.

Zeuseus6609: I feel like Viper was an experiment with how to reduce button bloat by consolidating combo sequences. There's definitely plenty of classes where they could benefit from moving the basic combos onto a single button each

Blitzkrieger17: Now make all mounts, pets, and titles account wide! C'mon!

Strider_Shinryu: Hope you have a great time at the Fest, Meoni!

But, yeah, I really hope we get some more info on Evolved even if there is no specific time set aside for it in the itinerary.. even if it's just to answer some of the bigger lingering questions with the system as a whole

The one thing I really don't want to see is, honestly, more story. I mean, we'll get the extended version of the trailer and that's cool but I want them to actually save some of the surprises and twists for us to experience in the actual game. It definitely felt like that was one of the biggest stumbles with Dawntrail to me even as someone who liked it more than it seems a lot of others did. We just knew too much going in story and location wise because of all of the videos and slides and screenshots they showed in the DT Fan Fests. Solution 9, for example, should have been mind blowing instead of just us checking our watches, wondering when they would send us there.

ShaiYoutubeAccount: I hope to see more about au ra in the character customization. in the screenshots shown all au ra had the standard horn colors and I would like to see (I hope desperately) if we can color those too in the future. Other than that I just dont think much about it and am excited to see whatever they show for now. :D

FarelForever: Relics could also be a thing to mention. Both regular combat ones, as well as Crafting/Gathering

cosmicneko7225: regarding animation skins, i would personally love to see an option to switch your idle stances (unarmed and armed) to other races/genders, and possibly even movement animations. I like playing as elezen but i never really liked how stiff they felt when they ran or sprinted

EachFlounder967: Not that I think it’ll happen, but it would be nice to get exp when doing new game on jobs that need leveling.

deProfundisAdAstra: Every time I look at it I like the Adventurer Activity screen less.

Jhakri_: I hate the idea of weeklies. I want to play everyday. The fact I can crush a weekly list in a single night means I have no reason to come back throughout the rest of the week

HaruFae: Can’t believe I gotta say this again….keep expectations LOW like…damn ! y’all don’t learn !

ultrajojo2712: If they give the new tank heavy gauntlets as the weapon I'll be a tank main immediately

Tallgrim666: I wish they will do hair styles acc wide

hbaabes: I think evolved jobs will be in JP fanfest alongside how the new gearing works. Cause i really think gearing is tied with evolved jobs where you would have unique stats that may affect your rotation.

For example, we could see gear that reduces cooldown for specific action, or a gear that completely removes the need to do positionals (just an example), or as simple as making you have faster movement speed.

HayleyMuffin-g2c: I know everyone is freaking out about gear but gear score really doesnt matter 99% of the time to most players. You only need savage gear to do savage faster and ultimates. Literally everything else in the game barely change between the 90 items levels for each major patch. They have to make gear matter more if they want to have a bigger focus on getting gear. Its just mogs to most people at this point.

fallenphoenixfilms: I don't understand how they could have more choice and class identity when fights are so highly choreographed. Even positionals can get negated by things the boss is doing. I'm worried about evolved mode and the seasonal system. I do trust that Yoshi P won't have FOMO but if the whole idea is going at your own pace a seasonal/battle pass system is antithetical to that, after all winter comes whether you're ready for it or not. Battle passes just make me feel pressured to constantly being doing content that fills that bar, which I don't like.

greyngo: Greatshield lance tank. Or anything even close to that. The northern vibes of the expansion.

Not some stupid double gun shield meme.

mittalunae: Please have fun first. We can wait a little longer for the summaries

Derdaida: cant wait to see how Marshal plays like

BravoSquid: 3:30 "shortish key-note?" It was soooo long lol. Wasn't it the longest one ever?

BeckyScottFairley: I am hoping we get to see the Dancer Evolved mode...because the creator is the creator of my favourite job ever Dancer I am sure it will be sick.

PastelPolerina: A bit hopeful, but I would love them to confirm the official release day, so I can book that week off work xD
