does that mean we wont get any information regarding expansion, gold saucer etc etc during Na fanfest as that would spoil things a week in advanced for EU thus given them no real reason to go to fastfest? (i mean the only reason Id be goin to fanfest is to see trailers first and get new news and info and possible relasedates on stuff).. if i could find that spoiled a week in advanced all over the internet then why bother tight?

If i recall back with the early fanfests for XI that didnt have that problem in the Us since there was he only fanfest as JP and EU didnt get one back then right? I mean if Japan did ge it first I dont recall about hearing about CoP until NA fanfest soo they did a good job keeping it from getting out right?

I believe they've already said they're talking about 2.4, the expansion, and having the equivalent of a live letter at the NA fanfest. But the fact of the matter is it's a FAN fest. The point is the fans. The point is to have a convention where people can geek out about Final Fantasy for a weekend not on the Internet and it isn't weird or anything.

Well the original fanfest did just that plus, announced relase dates for upcoming stuff (including expansions), So i wouldnt expect the current fest to talk about 2.5 (we really dont need more 2.4 info as we know everything there is to know about what it consist of as its just around the corner), finally give us a long awaited golden saucer release date, and show us an expansion trailer and a possible release date/window

Expansion is called Heavensward, takes place in Ishgard, and is about the dragon war.
-- Will include a new race (Viengaa I think it was called?)
-- Will include multiple new jobs, Dark Knight was strongly indicated
-- Scheduled for a Spring 2015 release

Gold Saucer in 2.5x
-- Will include Chocobo racing and breeding
-- Will include Triple Triad

Yep. No real information. You sure called it, buddy.

I though Viengaa was just a blend of Viera and Bangaa? Or did I just make that up in my own head?

Viangaa was a joke. We don't yet know what the new race will be called.

I didn't actually get to see the speech where that was announced. I was working from slides I found later. Chances are "Viangaa" is not the real name and is, in fact, a joke made by combining Viera and Bangaa.

Basically it's whatever Yugiri's race is. That's what we're getting. So... lizard people?

Either that or possibly some kind of dragonkin.

Especially since the expansion is all about the struggle with dragons. I had my suspicions before, but I'm more inclined to believe it's some sort of dragon-human mix, which would also explain Yugiri's reluctance to reveal herself.

I'm also reminded of how people thought the seedseers in early FFXIV concept art were Gria, which was a dragon-human race in Tactics A2. Maybe that held some sway after all.

I guess we'll find out in a few months.

As far as I heard at FF Yuigiri is akin to Miqote - Human/animal, not full bestial.
