The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

I don't know why I went with my predictions except I'd just watched a streamer playing the Monkey Island Sea of Thieves stuff and had it on my mind.

My general rule of thumb is that Au'ra or Miqo'te ladies are probably healers, Viera or Roe are probably tanks, Hyurs and Au'ra/Miqo'te male are almost always DPS and Lalafell are wild cards. H'rothgar and Elezen are too rare to form a pattern
For some reason 90% of the hrothgar I see are red mages with monocles.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
One thing I shoulda put in there but forgot is the level cap being 99, not 100.

Bozja rules and nothing in Endwalker was more fun than being a 10/10/10 warrior with bloodsucker being unkillable and making other people in your party unkillable

Or blasting dps as a whm with seraph

Alright, sure, predictions that range from very likely to “uncle works at Squenix” territory:

1. First look at female hrothgar in-game models

2. Yoshi-P wearing a shirt covered in potions. Future prediction: it wasn’t teasing Chemist

-A shirt teasing one of the below:

3. New job, some variation on Spellsword that isn’t Red Mage

4. New job, Onion Knight/Freelancer/Mimic variant

5. New job, Pirate/Mariner, distinct from Machinist and more melee

6. Some sort of Rival Wings revival, maybe a roulette for it or something

7. Golden Saucer expanded. Snowboarding mini game?

Yeah, most of these aren’t happening, but I’m gonna go for the dark horse.

Legit a blue mage battle royale would be the loving wild. 72 blue mages drop onto an island with only water cannon.

Awesome!

a 72 blue mage mode would be playable for exactly 1 weekend when it launched and then never again

YoshiP has already said the next level cap is 100 in an interview, so unfortunately that's pretty unlikely.

It would be cool to rip off yakuza 6 baseball, where you manage the team and go hire people in the world and just do like some minigames of key moments during the actual matches.

I feel like that would appeal to them from a building it out in an economical way sort of perspective

That was always my guess for what it would be, some kind of rhythm minigame that could take advantage of the years and years of music. You can even see various weird prototypes of such a system floating around in eg the firmament quests.

It would be funny if they delayed it to not launch against theatrhythm or some kind of square enix brain thing like that

Unless of course someone else also perfected that fight and get the duel and die in 2 seconds and instead of giving another person a chance you have to hope to spawn the duel again and perfect the entry thing again.

the cool thing about this is that dynamis exists and bozja is completely empty except for some losers that farms clusters with 20 accounts, so you can get extra attempts at the duel with little or no competition to enter.

Title Predictions?

I guessed "Homecoming". No idea why or what it has to do with the plot, but it sounds profound enough without trying to upstage the last expansion.

A part of me thinks they might actually go with a more elaborate title this time, at least for the English version. If you wanted to cleanly separate the end of the previous story from the start of a new one, then giving 7.0 some kind of two-word title is the easiest way to distinguish it from the jump.

That's a good one. I kept trying and failing to come up with a portmanteau like they've been using and eventually settled on "If this is going to be a fresh new storyline, they might hop out of the portmanteau name" and theorized A New Horizon.

Don't you toy with my heart like this.

I can't remember any of the predictions I put in the form except that the new beast tribe is a village of FF IX-style puppets/mage golems. We need more FF IX inspired content.

look I know there are actually quite a few IX references and they seem to crop up in oddly pivotal moments but I need more

Pulling an unrelated prediction out of thin air: we travel to the southern continent on an airship called the Eternal Wind.
