I remember spells in the very old dat files being slated to level 150 for certain. Also city mission ranks to 15. I would prefer more missions to a higher level cap.

lmfao. You know what's up. This is exactly what we'll get. The Evil Weapon's name will also be Amanomurakumo to give it that distinct far east flavor

Just give me Caitsith, and I'll be happy. Yeah, you've driven me that low.

Seriously though, I doubt it's going to be anything.

We're talking about the 10th anniversary. If they're having a Vanafest this year it means something will be announced there.
Then again the devs like to mess up lately so chances are they'll announce some stupid new ways to waste everyone's time for slightly better gear.
If it's a new expansion I'm expecting level caps in ever BC as well as capped zones that will also force you to fight naked and spam items to survive because your stats will be lowered to 1. It's all about balance.

**loyaltrekie** · 2012-02-24 23:05

Obviously they are going to talk about what a great hit the new nyzul is~

**Chamaan** · 2012-02-24 23:05

I still think that the "special surprise" or whatever that got hinted at in the picture from the Dev Tracker thread meant this. SURPRISE, ANOTHER VANAFEST

But if I had to hazard a guess. I'm thinking they announce 2 new Avatars that won't get released for 4 more years.

**Spira** · 2012-02-24 23:12

things i dont expect at this point anymore are level cap raise and new jobs.

1. level cap raise because they dont have enough content to accommodate the high levels as of yet, and also because they spent a year doing "balancing" which will ultimately be undone by a level cap raise in itself.

2. new jobs are unlikely because its just too much to invest in lol. balancing issues again, plus they'll need to go back and rework new jobs into old eq, old events, drop pools in Dynamis, Limbus, Abyssea.. etc. its messy.

but minor things i do kinda expect..
new 2hr showcase
new avatars.
some kind of story continuation...
if einherjar and limbus renewal isnt out by then, i'd expect a showcase lol.

**miokomioko** · 2012-02-24 23:22

Don't forget another trio of shitty Add-On Scenarios.

**Draylo** · 2012-02-25 00:28

There is still room for new unique jobs, there have been plenty of ideas thrown from everywhere.

**Colenzo** · 2012-02-25 00:55

How about Onion Knight for all the retards that leveled all the jobs in the game but don't have any decently geared jobs and can't make up their fucking minds on what job they want to gear.

**Draylo** · 2012-02-25 01:11

I think Alchemist could work but it would be similar to COR i guess, uses a gun to attack and is a support job with med mixing. Can maybe make grenades and crap and have throwing ws?

**Ansems** · 2012-02-25 01:22

I have a feeling they might add new city ranks/missions
Expansion would be nice if it came with new jobs or somthing
and hopefully new kings with a 21-24 repop time

Except they've been ripping the Devs a new asshole pretty hard over the whole Neo Nyzul deal.

**Qeomash** · 2012-02-25 02:40

The main thing I'd want from a full expansion is a bunch of new music.

Adding them to old equipment is a non-issue, as is drop pools in dynamis (for the most recent jobs, they simply added another drop slot for new job AF, so it wouldn't detract from the drop rate of the old AF).

If anything, it'd be the effort of going through and rebalancing everything that'd turn them off to the idea. Everything else is busywork anyone could do on a slow day at work.

Yeah, I don't think they will do it in person though. It's real easy to type in all caps and make angry text faces. If I'm wrong Tanaka might need some body armor.

Addendum to this: VIII went to 100.

**Cesaria** · 2012-02-25 09:51

I'd guess some cop out like Jeuno missions - with oodles of JP midnight waits to stop everyone getting rank 10 within the hour.

I have low expectations.

**Sepukku** · 2012-02-25 10:35

I'd have 0 interest in a Vita port only cause I don't have Vita, but if there were a PS3 port, I'd buy it for $30-50 (assuming it came with all expansions and add-ons). Also, unfortunate thing I remembered is for PS2 users, if a disc-based expansion were put out, most PS2 users would be screwed. While mine still works, the laser on it is VERY weak. I remember WOTG taking 2 dozen+ tries to install cause of disc read errors. I've opened the black case and cleaned the laser directly a bit more professionally versus a cleaning disc since then, but even that was 2-3 years ago when I wanted to play Socom 2 and more dust/dirt has accumulated since then as I haven't played a disc game on PS2 in a couple years.
