That's why I love how they do the continental fan fests with new info at each. So we learn more in October, then January, then it's just a few months until Dawntrail!

Would MS even allow a WoW crossover event? They'd have to mirror all the content on PS5.

did the xbox version of MH:W get the FF14 crossover event with behemoth and the dragoon armor?

really it's Blizz that may be the holdup since they don't really do external IP crossovers anymore

biggest reason I don't think it's Sword Saint is because it might not mesh well with the Scouting armor class. Unless it's not gonna be Scouting, in which lol

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Really good keynote! I basically couldn't be happier. The graphic update looks very nice. New dye channels and glasses slots are like my 2nd and 3rd most wanted features. The trailer was really fun and exciting. Surprised at 2 dps jobs, but not gonna complain since that's my preferred role. Cannot wait to see what the melee dps one turns out to be, want to see if it'll draw me off of reaper.

WoW is probably in the best place it's been in years and years. But you have years of a playerbase that's bitter for all sorts of reasons, the last two expansions being some of the main reasons, and a faction system that actively encourages players to hate each other. The devs coming across as outright hostile toward the players, and there are some cases in the game right now where it feels like some of the devs still hate the players. And then just on top of that, the vast majority of the people that end up on stage for the Blizzard things just have negative 100 charisma and they have no stage presence. The ones that did like Metzen, Jeff Kaplan and Ben Brode have all moved on from Blizzard (well I think Metzen is still sort of attached but he doesn't the Blizzcon stuff anymore)

(Gachiyagura, from what I can tell from a Google search, is the Splatoon tower-pushing mode, so Crystal Chronicles Crystalline Conflict.)

The only things I can think of that are missing are Nier, DotA/LoL with Rival Wings and [Farming Sim]/Animal Crossing with Island Sanctuary.

Next trailer is going to have the WoL dramatically throwing off the burning cloak to reveal the new job; the cloak isn't part of it.

Andrew Verse

Personally I think the new job is a Corsair, and when the cloak burns off in the full trailer the WoL is going to whip out a pistol for a classic buccaneering dual wield.

Yeah I'd agree probably corsair as a scouting dps and green/nature mage as the new caster.

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
The WoL is going to rip off the cloak to reveal that he's just a Ninja this time, but Krile's been secretly strapped to his torso as the new job.

yeah this is what I think too. Would also work with the Scouting armor problem, giving it another class so you can be a cool pirate ninja.

I went to compare it to the Endwalker first trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-bkJ2ZoW6k and the audio in that has the same distorted quality. I don't know if that's a pre-production thing or they're intentionally doing it to help hide cuts or what.

The way the WoL has his hand on his sword at the end of t he trailer as it zooms out just is classic pirate so I really would be shocked if it's not Corsair.

Oh, the new caster could also be Seer from FFTA2, which was a hybrid melee/caster that rocked a cat-ear hood like Krile. I don't know how it'd be functionally different from Red Mage though in 14.
