I'll resub in a heartbeat if they debut SAM. I'm kinda torn on what role they should fill in battle, though. On one hand I would love for them to be dps monsters, but on the other, I can totally understand the need for more tanks. If I were SE I would just give them two different "stances"--one to dps and one to tank--and make both sides happy.
Holy hell this sounds awesome, so much cool stuff on that list that hits all the right FF notes. I hope they don't add flying mounts but uhhh floating islands, choco forests, etc. I wish I had more time to see all this stuff.
Also you're being silly if you can't figure out the name... It's heavens/ward, as in "towards the heavens." Not that crazy.

Can't get to any of these floating islands without a flying mount or airship there, bud.
In any case, I'm really happy they made mention of Knights of the Round. For me, KotR, the new jobs, the large areas, airships, Chocobo forests and hopefully that Golden Saucer... that's what I'm looking forward to the most. Mainly the content outside of dungeons / raids is what appeals to me most of all.
This coming week is when you'll apparently hear more. At the London fan festival. I thought they had mentioned something about that, at least.
Yeah on the 25th they will speak about the jobs, just wish it was now.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
New areas are looking good.
Can't wait to see just how many areas they plan to add and just how different the other areas are as well.

So has Ishgard been destroyed? (Or partially destroyed).
Or is it just that some of it was attacks, like the Gates of Judgement and Steps of Faith in the trailer?
I wish we got to see more of the 'kings' of the world... that last patch trailer showed someone wearing Solus Zos Galvus' armour,and with Gaius Van Baelsar and Nael Van Darnus gone and Solus supposedely gone, that leaves who in charge? In the trailer, the guy wearing Solus' armour looked a lot like Nero tol Scaeva... so is Nero the new Emperor of the Garlean Emperor?
I'd like to see more of Nero/Solus and also the Archbishop of the Holy See of Ishgard (perhaps a puppet of the Ascians). The latter is certain in the new expansion but I'd especially like to see more about the Garlean Empire, and more of its political structure and land (a la Arcadia in FFXII) rather than just a faction of their army acting off on its own.

Somewhere out there Tanaka is watching this video and cursing these filthy casuals.

What's wrong with wanting to play a game casually? Pretty stupid thing to say.

Ishgard is in an unending war with Dravania (and has been for 1000 years) so it's constantly in a state of disrepair-then-being-repaired.

Down with airships - I guess I should have said "fly-anywhere" style flying mounts. I like running around Ivalice and seeing people, flying everywhere instantly is not as satisying.

I know
I basically lived in Coerthas.What I meant was, Ishgard's concept art is pretty epic and soaring... so it suffering a massive destruction event would make 'development' sense (easy to make many areas unaccessable because they're destroyed, etc). So I'm curious to see if if the attack in the trailer is a hint at more than just general Dracavian attacks and something especially notable in terms of damage. Especially with the rumour that the Archbishop himself is now a puppet to the Ascians, I'm thinking this 'event' will be rather significant even in the context of its historic way.

Man, why are time cards for this so hard to find in stores? I can find cards for every random crappy PC Second Life/Habbo Hotel clone I've never heard of in any drug store, but everywhere is sold out of FF XIV.

Feep you must return! A new generation needs to enjoy your dragoon songs.

I know we're all hyped for XV, but man I hope XVI takes us back to a more I-V / IX,XI, and XIV style universe. That CG just makes me want it even more.
I hope it takes us back to Ivalice. Maybe not XII (unless they change some of that horrid outfit design) but yeah... Ivalice needs to happen.
Dark Knight has been confirmed for Heavensward at the London Fanfest:
Additional details from London include a black chocobo capable of flight, two additional beast tribes, and the primals Bismarck and Ravana (a new creature original to FF).
Of course, there was a tease for another job.

Welllllll, DRK is tank is such a bummer that I'm reconsidering going back to 14. It is the one job that I was looking forward to playing since 2.0. I mean, why the heck does it have to be tank? DRK signature thing is self-dmg to deal even more dmg to enemies. How is that going to work as tank?

That's funny because I think combat in this game is crazy boring even with pressing all those buttons.
I'm not sure i'm liking new color scheme of Heavensward at all. Everything is so grey and muted.

Gutted about DRK being a tank but I suppose it could be good is it's drain and absorb spells are effective and it has things like dread spikes. Have to wait and see on that, however the thing I was most interested in with it was the "no base class", how will that work then? Are they finally going to get rid of the class system in 3.0 and just go with jobs?
Also I am hoping by making it so it has no base class maybe it will be possible for DRK to use different weapon setups. So for now it will be a tank with a two handed sword, however later they could add scythe to turn it into a DPS role.

Seriously? Just because of that you're not going back?
Ah that explains the similarity

I though yoshida was supposed to still contribute to the game
it wasnt even that, the quality blur and cutscenes along with the graphics were just insanely good. i wish we could have that back, or at least the scale, a lot of scale was lost in a realm reborn.
