This took forever to upload from my phone, but damnit I wanted to give you a crowd reaction shot.

[@503leafy]

Thanks for it.

[@Voice_9_Heart85]

You did good. 👍💖 Thanks a lot.😊

[@tcerathi]

Thanks for the upload, Jesse! Love hearing the crowd reactions to these!

DAMN. I was legit like "I can't wait to see Jesse's reaction to the trailer." Didn't realize what channel I was on :')

Irl version of letting people enjoy cutscenes

[@TheWrightStep]

As someone who saw this live near the front, the audio here is surprisingly good! The crowd was 10x louder than represented here and I could not understand most of what was said lol. The cheers for g'raha were way way louder than for everyone else

I love everyone reacting to the WoL “vacation mode” long hair. Thank you for giving this to us!

His look in the trailer usually depicts a new job class so I’m hoping pirate or explorer :)

[@SkyboundLight]

that's his corsair pirate hair

[@Twilii3]

I'm just looking at this whole thing like "SCIONS ROAD TRIP!"

[@CrashB111]

@avengingfossil9674 The new jobs are always in the trailers somehow, at least since Stormblood. Stormblood - WoL is SAM. Shadowbringers - Thancred is GNB, random Viera is DNC. Endwalker - Alphinaud is SGE, Zenos is RPR. Dawntrail - WoL is ???, Krile(?) is ??? For Dawntrail, I'm betting the WoL is Corsair/Pirate of some kind with a sword + gun as the job weapons. And in the full trailer, not the teaser we have here, he will cast off his burning coat during that fight scene and whip out a pistol in his free hand. People are speculating that Krile will be in the full trailer as well, and show off the new caster job. Because we know the new jobs are 1 Melee DPS (the WoL most likely) and 1 Caster DPS (probably Krile, cause she needs a new job / outfit update).

[@Emuney12]

[@Shockwave00010]

I love how much FF14 players love their devs, it is so different from any other mmorpg. Like if you had this for wow, sure, the wow fans may cheer the trailer, but when the dev comes out they sure won't be chanting his name. Yoshi P is the goat of game devs and it is great to see him smile and run around at everyone chanting him on

[@Avohaj]

Metzen and Brode definitely got cheered themself when they came up on stage. Maybe not name chantning, but they were definitely celebrated (at least as long as people were currently happy with the state of the game).

[@CrashB111]

WoW used to have that fan loyalty to their dev teams, but burned it all away with Scandal after Scandal and bad product after product.

As someone who doesn't play FF14, hearing and seeing how the audience reacts to character reveals is something special. I have no clue who the characters are, but the people do and they are loving it.,

The most sensational is the mothercrystal which in ARR is told as a sort of nucleus of the planet or in any case an element that helps to give it life while in EW it has become crystallized ether.

I'm getting emotional just watching this, like reliving the event all over again. Being in the crowd for that was MAGICAL

[@SorasShadow1]

there's something so special about a live crowd being able to react to the trailer like this again though i am particularly fond of the exchanges Yosida had with the crowd later on; yoshi p; "gold saucer update" crowd; "BLITZBALL" yoshi p; "no blitzball!" this happened at least twice. blitzball was the only response i could make out to the "what jobs do you want?" question. Though it does seem FF10 inspired this expansion, so while we probably won't get blitzball we'll likely get other aspects that made Spira special.

[@darkguardian50]

allow me to give you a little hope. Yoshi P said "no blitzball" in response to the Gold Saucer update for 6.5 (which we now know is Fall Guys). There is definitely still a chance for Blitzball in 7.0. Especially with all the FF10 influences here (though there is some FF6 in there as well with one of the Primals we fight being Tritoch).

[@rynfarron]

WoL looking pirate-y at the end on the boat... that plus Yoshi-P's shirt with a dual saber wielding character makes me think corsair for our new melee! As for the new caster, gotta be Green Mage based on the shirt, no?

[@503leafy]

I mean it could be anything, but seeing how the WoL sorta spinned blocked away I'm guessing some sort of corsair/gambler class.

[@dalthorn]

Another possibility is Pictomancer due to the TMNT being named after artists.

[@Khailward]

Someone guessed Magic Knight based on the sword. And if that's the case, I will absolutely have a new main.

[@jaybee4288]

The popular theory is the turtles shirt means some sort of artist as the spellcaster, like Relm in FF6. And Krile will probably take that job. Melee might be Corsair. It might use scouting which is also ninja related.

[@cylontoaster7660]

I think Corsair is most likely for the melee job and will be what the WoL ends up being in the cinematics. You can catch really small glimpses of his outfit under the robe with the various straps and his haircut seems rather sailorish. As for the caster DPS, I think the Painter/Pictomancer theory is sound after seeing YoshiP's shirt. The Turtles are named after famous painters/artists. While Green Mage could be possible, Green Mage was traditionally more of a healer/support class. Not to say they couldn't just change what a green mage does, but painter would probably come across as more unique. Plus it would be a great job to give Krile as others pointed out

Alright so, 100% WoL is some kind of new pirate job here. That's the melee for sure, and we have TMNT shirt for a hint on the caster. Pirate / Corsair / Swashbuckler / Buccaneer / Etc, whatever you wanna call it. For the caster, I'm completely biased on this, but turtle (animal) shirt + heavy emphasis on living with nature in the new expansion = Druid? Getting my hopes up for my favorite class. Also one of the art pieces they showed off for the city has a robed guy with a staff that gives me some Druid vibes, but probably just my bias. And it shows WoL fighting the current leader of the city 1v1 and Yoshi talked a lot about how the story will center around a contest to decide the new city leader. So are we competing for ourselves? Or are we championing a candidate? I kinda hope it's not the latter just because I don't think I like the idea of someone winning purely because they lucked out and hired the WoL as a merc lol
