I love how fucking confused the crowd looks after the fall guys announcement, followed immediately by Phil Spencer looking supremely uncomfortable on stage

[@philliptorres6850]

Once again thank you for hosting this, was a ball watching with ya. Oct.21st cant get here soon enough, hope you'll do another watch party.

[@jacktaru2]

hell yeah, can't wait for mana's BLU quest recaps vid! I never paid attention to the previous ones heh.

[@ManiakGear]

I love the were able to hit this at the right time and that everyone has been really supportive reacting to the fact that the sions are able to be more chill and aren't facing a world crisis for once

[@anonymoususer69420]

So excited for next year!

[@qtipman4184]

i was there live and let me say the crowd was absolutely insane the whole room echoed with cheers. :)

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

I am so glad that FF XIV gang is finally coming to Latin America and Xbox!

[@ericbright1742]

23:50 Yup. Same. Practically *frothing* over that news.

[@IKIGAIofficial]

A whole new world and story arc! I know how Ishikawa writes. Well see how the new story turns out with her being “supervisor”

[@csrjjsmp]

I don’t understand the reaction to the dawn trail name does that mean something dirty😳

[@senspideyfan]

I was also wondering why she was freaking out hahaha

[@RasenCore]

DT, yes I have a dirty mind too

[@jaesaces]

I love that this trailer is all the scions having fun! Every single one of them is doing something they enjoy, rather than something they *need* to do.

[@jaesaces]

I've heard a theory that the TMNT shirt might be alluding to an old arcade game: Turtles in Time. Honestly, Krile becoming a time mage wouldn't be too surprising given the time/space manipulation of Eureka.

[@CRAM079]

me: laughs in Tank main Q

[@Ezrosh]

Still no Krile or Tataru in trailer.

[@muhash14]

I can't believe Dawntrail is bringing Bibo+ to the game

[@Silvist]

Supposedly the t-shirt hint was two fold. Ninja's fight pirates, and all of the turtles were named after famous painters (realize some were more sculptors). Corsair is highly likely to be the melee dps, and people have spied a pistol that the WOL is hiding under his outfit. As for the painter, that would be the caster like Relm from FF6.

[@Nobrev]

The island of Tortuga in Haiti was also famously frequented by pirates and tortuga is turtle in Spanish

[@Chaser547]

I doubt that the game would be coming to Xbox if Microsoft intended to force xbox live gold (or whatever they call it now) on folks to play since Sony doesn't force ps plus membership for 14 on PS5 (you just get a bonus teleport location if you are a member is all the extra benefit). Besides they used to have several MMORPG type games in the 360 days that didn't require gold to play on them (one of which was Final Fantasy 11)

[@BaithNa]

If you thought DPS queues were bad before, get ready because 7.0 will introduce 2 new DPS jobs and X-Box support Log in queues will probably be out of control too

[@CRAM079]

F2P games do not require a fee to play on Xbox. So it should work just like it does on PS,

[@ministabber4927]

LMAO poor phil stood before packed room of PC and PS players.

[@CRAM079]

hopefully by next fanfest that room will be filled with Xbox players as well

[@commanderkitsune8524]

There'll be a lot of events that happen in the follow up to release. Not just the FFXVI crossover we'll get near the end of this year, but probably a few reruns like the FFXV one so people can earn the car and outfit.
