I think historically that an expansion name and teaser trailer come from the first Fan Fest of the year, but I'm not 100% sure.. what sorts of announcements do you want to see?

I went and looked up what other fanfests were like (source is on reddit 🙁, sorry).

If history repeats, we should get:

The expansion name
A short teaser trailer
Basic announcements about content with no details
Where are we going or some important people. Basic surface-level plot points. Maybe a bit of relevant lore
Screenshots
A few big system announcements (e.g., SB had the introduction of Eureka, an inventory expansion, and the end of PS3 support, ShB introduced Ishgardian Restoration, New Game+, World Visit)
Yoshi-P wears a shirt that teases something about the expansion (e.g., HW had Batman = Dark Knight, SB had Scarlet Witch = Red Mage, ShB had Bugs Bunny = Viera)

We might also get some details on 6.5.

I'm waiting for the tease of Yoshi-p's shirt, that's always fun to speculate what it could mean, then the follow up shirts in the live letters between other fan fests. I know it's unlikely, but I'd like to see something on female rothgar.

I know female Hrothgar is something they've mentioned before as at least "eventually" tier. So I think it's definitely possible for 7.0.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, 7.0 for that seems likely. It's a bummer they've said no more "new" races in general, but at least getting the Hrothgar gender parity would be cool.
