So in less than 8 hours the las vegas fan fest will begin and with it we will get the first information tidbits about 4.0.
The next few days will see thousand of redundant threads made to analyze the title. trailer, the logo and yoshie-P's T-shirt for clues.
Since I'm very nice and also very clever, I'll make this thread here in advance and edit in every piece of info that we get. Of course there will still be separate threads most likely, but I will make sure that those who want it, shall find everything here.
Pre-Fan Fest
Budget
35 million USD compared to 12.6 million of HW
Title
- Rumored to be Stormblood
Setting
- 99.9% sure it's going to be Ala Mhigo with all the hints in the MSQ
Race
- No confirmation that we get one at all
- Viera almost became a playable race
- The Lorebook comes with a Hummingway (also the codename of an Ala Mhigan spy)
- Beast tribes won't be playable for lore reasons, inhuman races for technical reasons, and not-cute races because japanese don't like em.
Classes/jobs
- No confirmation that we get any, but I bet we do
- Samurai almost became a playable job
- There are strong hints towards a new sword wielding job/class
Central theme
- 3.0 was going to be either about flying or swimming. Flying won, so swimming should come next.
