The Las Vegas Fanfest, our first of three, will be taking place this Friday! Kicking off with a 1.5 hour long keynote at 10AM PDT, we can expect buckets of new announcements related to patch 6.5 and beyond.

So I’m curious to hear what things people are most looking forward to. What will the next expansion be? Will there be new jobs? Will we finally see female Hrothgar? Will Yoshi-P finally convince the producer of FF16 to let us have a crossover event? Will [insert your job here] ever be balanced in PvP?

Lay your theories, hot takes, and baseless speculations on me!

    I like the idea of an alternative start but I’m not sure about another character. Does that imply that they have to write two sides of the same story? Or , if they are always there at the same time, what’s the point? It seems impossible to maintain for the next 10+ years… or at some point they merge into one? Thinking out loud here :)

      I’m thinking like some JRPGs where you get a choice in main character like Star Ocean 2 or Tales of Xillia or even Pokemon. Whichever option you pick is the one that gets more agency in the plot, but the group still mainly travels together with just a few moments of divergence.

      The only point that I wouldn’t be sure about is what to do about voice acting. Presumably if the deuteragonists were to be defaulted to the “canon” Derplander looks when you choose one start or the other, they could give a voice actor to the WoL (bring back Ardbert’s maybe?) but I imagine that would be weird for a lot of people.
