Hey now, it's not confirmed it's the expansion announcement. It could very well just be something like... Remember when Nintendo did like 6 different ones for different Pokemon games last year? FFXIV mobile edition, all you can do is craft lol.

I just finished Heavensward last week, and I'll probably still watch. It might have non-post ShB content, who knows?

No, it won't. Seriously do not watch this if you don't want to get spoiled - because you WILL get spoiled.

100%

Assuming they will talk about 5.5 as well, MASSIVE spoilers.

They're having a separate presentation for 5.5, that's at 10PM PST.

I doubt there will be much 5.5 discussion in the announcement stream proper considering that the 5.5 part 1 live letter is immediately following this.

There probably will be, if the Chemist tease was actually a tease, and not just a reference

Would love me a Chemist, Geomancer, or Rune Knight

If Chemist is a thing, it will absolutely 100% not be named Chemist. They don't want to confuse people between that and alchemist, amongst other things.

Yeah, their release schedule has been pushed back about 3 months for all the major patches so I'm expecting end of September/start of October.

Or the long awaited announcement that FFXI will go to free to play.

FFXI was my first mmo but it was completely trash compared to WoW even back in 2004 I can't imagine they fixed it. Maybe its because I played DPS (Monk) but I would spend hours waiting for a party, not for a dungeon or anything special but just to get a bit of exp. I ended up treating it like a job at one point just grinding away doing boring shit just to polish up my stats in the hope that I may possibly get a party.

If I did get a party the combat was boring as fuck. There was a cool ability you could use every 2 hours, there were some abilities that did practically nothing that you could use every 10 seconds, there was an ability that was cool you could use every 2 minutes. Which left you doing absolutely nothing most of the time.

10 minutes into playing the beta for WoW I realized I would never touch FFXI again. I gave away all my shit and gil in the game and cancelled my subscription that night. Literally.

won't make things easier for you but they did give you a trust system which allowed you to have a bunch of NPCs join your party and made leveling easier. Although its not aged too well.

Necromancer was my guess too lol. I heard his t-shirt at these announcements usually has some clue about something in the expansion so it would fit.

Most people also thought this storyline would last two more expansions rather than one, so it's interesting this seems to be the end of it.
