teapotcrunch: I’m not getting hyped until I actually see what the rubber hitting the road is going to look like.

DridriKon: Yoship is a man of many words, still waiting the actual release.

TheDo0dDoesNotAbide: "huge changes"

Each class will be given one more button to press.

Monk and Astro are getting another rework.

Summoner will be made even easier to play.

Jezhy22: They gonna be "guys, I know 8.0 will be simmilar... But 9.0 thoo please look forward to it"

WizelBalan: We were burned on the 50% more rewards thing, I will wait to see what happens.

giannandreaferrara9680: I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime: GW2.

Tashiro64: the game NEEDS to rethink "everything", I should not be able to predict the whole expansion pattern in advance. I wish there would be more customisation to class like a ninja that can be more stealth, one that is more raw damage, like the spec in WoW, and it changes the skills you have a bit, in fact it'S that even with the amazing amount of content and stuff to deal in this game, it is also incredibly bland in many stuff. i HOPEEE my fav game will brings more on the table and SE will give more budget !

keizdk3801: Yeah... he does it every expansion , welp , gonna be the same

Gonglor: Words are nice and all but I'll believe it when I see it.

They did improve the battle content as they promised in 7.0 so I'm hopeful at the very least.

cheesemuffin8129: I'll start polishing the next round of Fell For It Again awards.

Akroyaa: I’ll believe in these “huge changes” when I actually see them.

If they truly overhaul the endgame loop, rework gearing, and most importantly make jobs actually feel different, with real complexity that changes how you play, and then design content around that, fine. That would be a real shift.

But if it’s the same old system stacking, the same 2-minute burst meta, everyone running identical gear, same BiS, same rotations, same weekly lockouts… then nothing’s changed.

That’s not evolution. That’s just repainting the same system again.

justan324: pretty much a big pass on Occult Crescent, barely could do the south horn for my relic weapon and couldnt keep up with the groups who are already maxed out with their PHs

KingJeffo: I'll see it when I see it, guy says so many things and it usually ended up being alright. Not going to hold any crazy expectations but will react when I see it for myself

Halvos12: 7:10 I would rather predict something good than be surprised by something bad, something they really need to learn. Surprise fads in moments quality can stand the test of time.

raze467: 8:35 they might combine p11s hades and SoS for the ultimate

Alizardwithdaftideas: My interest is piqued. Let's see if they can deliver.

The Beastmaster stuff has me lowkey excited.

SlowestSpeedRunner: Ill believe it, when i see it.

andreluizxd2873: They will not do anything different. The job reworks will be just skills updates, content will have even more gap between patches and system upgrades just quality of life, mark my words.

zedorian6547: I have Dragon Quest X. Let me know if Yoshi-P actually makes 14 better. Until then, enjoy as I doubt 8.x will do enough.

OCrAcIK: oh boi, we never learn

aaronvillanueva3592: I want to believe in the promises of 8.x, but I really think they won't make the right choices regarding job gameplay and flavor. I am holding my expectations until the media tour...

AlexMyDude: 9 minutes is a crazy refresh pull. love the content Rinon!

GatheredMyst: The fact that you did your homework with the translations instead of the alternative makes this video a lot more informative than some of the other summaries. Greatly appreciated, Rinon. :)

LuminateTheWorld: my faith and trust in yoshi is all but dried up at this point. too many times i've been told to look forward to it only for that it to never happen or for it to have changed from what was originally said. I'll see it when i believe it is the point i'm at and i think most people are at the same point now and days. Whether they want to admit it or not.

Now that i think about it: Yoshi said before dawntrail came out that dawntrail was to be alot of experimenting and focus on the mmo side of things. They kind of did the focus on mmo with bringing things like oc i guess, and some qoL things that's meant for mmo related activites, but the experimental part? absolutely nothing except chaos alliance. That's literally all they did different or what i would see as experimental. Everything else in dawntrail is literally cookie cutter the same as any other expansion. Only difference with previous expansions is they had more content, but the content itself, the fundamentals of the game like sub stats, gear, materias etc. has all been left untouched with no experimenting. Hell even housing has gone to the way side with ONLY now we are seeing something. at the tail end of the expansion.

somethinganderssen7200: I wonder if the doomposters will correct themselves and take back their doom comments about beastmaster not being until 7.55? Ofc they won't they'll just forget they were wrong and keep dooming about the next thing.

geek593: I don't think the game will ever "come back" even with good gameplay changes. Everything is a spoke off the central hub of the story, and the story has been low quality for years. WoW can always bring people back with gameplay since it no longer requires a player to play every expansion up to the current endgame. FFXIV being strictly linear means EW and DT being bad is a filter that will always be there and will always influence what comes after. I don't think trust is ever going to return.
