x. Endwalker -- Summary of Live Letter

Hey gang, first of all, shout out to you all for coming by and watched the live letter as a fam! And for those of you who couldn't join voice chat, that was totally okay! I'm just going to summarize the live letter for those that missed out. I'm pretty excited for the new expansion and Endwalker will be coming out in Fall 2021.

We will be getting two new classes -- one healer, one melee. The new melee will be announced during the Fan Fest on May 15th and 16th. The only hint we got is that this job already exists in FF (correct me if I'm wrong)!!

As for the new healer, it was Alphinaud's gundam class, known as SAGE. Here's a video for you all:

And I liked how a few of you mentioned this will be my new healer class ... LOL. They're planning to have WHM and AST as pure healers, while SCH and Sage as shield healers.

Here's the Endwalker MSQ storyline teaser! They will be wrapping up Scions + Hydaelyn + Zodiark in 6.0. In 6.1, it will become a brand new adventure, so that's exciting!

Teasing some new AF gears. I'm a huge fan of the WHM one, it's SO CUTE!! I really hope the dyeable version is not from an EX trial because if I wanted to farm glams, I prefer solo farming just so I don't waste anybody else's tiiiime.

Some new map areas!! Look at how beautiful it isss. A lot of people are believing we'll be going to Sharylan and I hope this is true, I'm super hyped! 

I really adore this town concept, it's super cute!

I'm definitely getting some Eastern Asia vibes here! Considering the new beasties (will be shown later) are Hindu or Indian inspired o: but don't at me, please don't bring in cultural appropriation bs here :^)  

I'm actually curious to see this in person, I can't wait.

Kaede and Geir mentioned this reminded them of FFXV.

Okay boys and girls, I'm mega hyped for Anima. I really can't wait to see her (well it was a female in FFX) in battle, please please please let Anima be fuckiiinggg cooooooooool. There's a lot of death themes going on, huh!

Some dungeon designs!!

New 8 man raid will be Pandaemonium! During the live letter, the end-game raid and alliance raid will be FFXIV's own thing. Honestly, after seeing the E12S last boss, my soul was crushed. I'll never get to see my favourite villian in FFXIV, sigh.

Teasing more AF gears and crafting gears. If that's RDM, that is a very cute top. 

Estinien, my boyyy, he'll be joining the trust system. Can I please have Aymeric too?? Please???

In the live letter, this sounds like Harvest Moon? You get to become a farmer basically and enjoy a simple hippie lifestyle with your cute minions. I may or may not be living here 24/7. 

For the love of God, finally Ishgard housing is coming to life. Sadly, I will need to fight 10 billion people to go onto the server, so if I miss the first opportunity, guess I'll wait till SE opens more wards ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'll definitely camping something here with you, Hiro!!

So far they only teased one new beastie out of two. I'm sort of not digging them, but I will believe in Hiro that the minion form will be cuter ;u;

The Fan Fest will be free, but if you want this whale, I believe you'll have to pay! This is their first 8 people mount, kind of cool. I hope I don't get motion sickness when riding one x__x;

Finally, they have announced patch 5.5 will be out in April 13th (along with PS5 update if anyone cares). GET READY GANG, SQUARE ENIX BETTER NOT SCREW UP THIS NEW EXPANSIOON.
