it's going to be the equivalent of the shadowbringers extra trailer where they dropped the "eldest and most powerful of primals" line sans context right?

Also the inevitable story teaser trailer that gives contextless spoilers and lines to incite violence in the fandom.

Finally got around to doing the revamped ARR 2.0 finale and wow that Lahabrea fight is both cool and has dialogue that foreshadows future ancient stuff. Was that talk of 'true' magic and imperfect beings always in the fight and I just didn't notice because it used to go by so quickly?

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Also the inevitable story teaser trailer that gives contextless spoilers and lines to incite violence in the fandom. I highly doubt that trailer will be going up at PAX. PAX is towards the end of March, still many months away from even the start of summer, and they've never released the "Launch Trailer," as they call it, so far away from release. They're much closer to a few weeks, with ShB having the longest intentional difference of 22 days and EW being the actual longest with 32, after the delay. EW's trailer came out November 5th, with the release date being They could maybe do the Job Actions trailer, but even that's pretty early. EW's was two months before release, ShB's was a month-and-a-half, and StB's and HW's were both a month before. My best guess is that it'll be almost entirely stuff about the past 10 years with only a small part of the panel being about DT, which will largely be stuff we already know plus some new concept art and a new video or two of the graphics update and/or the new zones Shaaloani and Heritage Found.

An anniversary event would be a good excuse to show new videos and screenshots of existing zones and content in the new engine. Promo art of a brand-new dungeon boss wouldn't get nearly as much hype as in-game video of updated popular locations like Kugane or the Crystarium.

I bet they're dropping the benchmark. Endwalker's benchmark came out in July 2021 for a November 2021 (originally) launch. A March benchmark for a summer launch works out timeline wise. I can't find it but I think Yoship said something during some interview that they wanted to give people enough time to upgrade their computers for the new graphics if needed.

Early benchmark is especially good in this case because of the big change in requirements. People will need time to upgrade.

Finally caught all the way up with patch content and I love the cat in the hat. Maybe because I put an obscene amount of time into bg3, but she reminds me of Karlach in her enthusiasm and general vibe, which is a very good thing.

I expect one concern of theirs that could have held the benchmark back beyond the graphics update is also needing lady hrothgar and the AF gear to be feature complete. Benchmarks have always had the new races and armor in for character creation past ARR's (which just didn't have character creation at all - but did feature a male miqo'te as its face), and they'll want to have all that stuff basically locked down, new material effects on old gear and all.

I have to imagine they're going to have hrothgals and AF ready to go when we're like 4-5 months out. It'd be weird if they didn't.

Given what we know of CBU3, I'd be surprised if Dawntrail isn't like, 99% Feature-Complete already, and the remaining time is just hardcore QA.

Heavensward's Benchmark was April 27, the Tokyo Fanfest was December 20. Stormblood's Benchmark was April 18, the Tokyo Fanfest was December 25. Shadowbringers's Benchmark was July 2, the Tokyo Fanfest was March 23. Endwalker's Benchmark was July 11, the digital Fanfest was May 14. Endwalker is kind of the outlier for all sorts of reasons, historically the benchmark has been roughly 3-4 months after the last Fanfest. I wouldn't find it surprising if the Dawntrail Benchmark isn't until May.

With the graphical engine overhaul they're going to need to add a checkbox for "lower graphics settings when at the Limsa aetheryte plaza".

Hogama posted:Heavensward's Benchmark was April 27, the Tokyo Fanfest was December 20. Shadowbringers benchmark was May 23. July 2 was the release date. That said, that puts things like this: Heavensward - Benchmark April 27, release June 23. 2 months benchmark to release. Stormblood - Benchmark April 18, release June 20. 2 months benchmark to release. Shadowbringers - Benchmark May 23, release July 2. 2 months benchmark to release. Endwalker - Benchmark July 11, release December 3. 5 months benchmark to release. Endwalker is, of course, the outlyer. But as mentioned, with the graphics update, 4-5 months out feels right. It gives those who need to upgrade plenty of time to get parts and install them. Or hell, maybe we're all wrong, and they're gonna drop a huge bomb on us, and announce a 3rd Job. Who knows? (It's not going to be a 3rd Job announcement)

If we get anything at all about Beastmaster this year, at most it'll be a few sentences vaguely describing what they do and maybe a piece of concept art.

Two dye channels for Hrothgar fur, but no hats because the code is load bearing and adding them made Cid's dad's beard disappear again.

Kinda hoping we get another activity area like Eureka/Bozja in DT. They've got two iterations of it to draw from at this point and plenty of data, so I don't see why they couldn't make something that combines the two for a better experience. Admittedly any combo of the two is like 90% Bozja with zones that don't look like poo poo, but still.
