2Serge TelamonRiftwalkerThe Ninth110ExdeathNecronRune FencerCorsairNo 3rd JobRune Fencer6/29/2027The Void LordsLoporritSpritesGriffinsA large-scale cross-shard travel system or equivalent “reflection-hopping” feature will be one of the expansion’s headline mechanics.I think 8.0 keeps leaning into the key / reflections / void / moon / Garlemald thread instead of swerving hard to somewhere unrelated. My read is that 7.5 is setting up a story where the WoL starts treating shard-travel as an actual repeatable frontier rather than a one-off miracle. I also think the expansion trailer will go darker again than Dawntrail, the first major zone shown will be tied to the Ninth or a shard-adjacent staging ground, one of the new jobs will fill the long-standing physical ranged gap, and the other will be a tank because that is the cleanest role balance move after Shadowbringers added tank/ranged, Endwalker added healer/melee, and Dawntrail added caster/melee. Beastmaster being a limited job in the 7.5 series makes me think the expansion itself stays at two standard jobs.

51
Expansion Name Provide the name of the expansion. Points rules: The full Point if the name is accurate. No half points awarded.
52
Location Where will the expansion take place? Points rules: The full point for a specific region name or location (Examples: Ishgard, Doma, Garlemald, etc.). No points awarded for cardinal directions (North, South, West, East) or vague postings. Cannot exceed 1 point, you will receive no credit if you list multiple locations and only some are right.
53
Level Cap What is the cap level for the new expansion? Examples: 50 for ARR, 60 for Heavensward, 70 for Stormblood. This question is NOT asking for gear ilvl. Numbers only, no half points awarded.
54
8-Player RaidWhat will be the next 8-Player raid name (or boss name) for the expansion? Point rules: The full 1 point for the name of the raid or the boss (Bahamut, Alexander, Omega, etc.). Raid names (Eden) also grant a full point. 1/2 point for the name of bosses that will be included in the raid mentioned during one of the fan festival series. Cannot exceed 1 point.
55
24-Player Raid Name the raid. Unique locations (not map regions) will be awarded the full point (Example: Crystal Tower receives 1 point, Eorzea does not). Or, you may also be awarded the full point if you name ONE of the confirmed bosses within the span of the announcements. Avoid tangents here, only list one item. One accurate answer of either receives the full point.
56
Jobs Order does not matter. No hybrids (two or more in one job) are allowed, NAME ONLY as skills and role don't matter and you'll lose points if something is wrong. Example: don't write "Red Mage (DPS)" or "Red Mage (Tank)", in this example just write Red Mage for the full point. If there are less than 3 jobs, you will receive credit for each "No 2nd Job" or "No 3rd Job" as if it were a job, which will only count once per each. Limited jobs, like Blue Mage, counts as a job. (Example: if you said "No 3rd job" but two jobs were announced and the 3rd job announced was a limited job, you receive no points as it counts as 3 jobs)

59
60
Cutscene Job In each expansion, the Warrior of Light male default character has a cutscene job ("Warrior" in A Realm Reborn, "Dragoon" in Heavensward, "Monk" & "Samurai" in Stormblood, and we were REALLY flexible with every job change in the Shadowbringers trailer). What job will he have in the next expansion cutscene job? Only one job is required for the full point, avoid putting more than one.
61
Release Date Points are as follows: Within 14 days or less (both before and after simultaneously) awards the full 1 point. Within 30 days (both before or after) of the date will be awarded 1/2 point. Greater than 30 days (before or after) from your date will result in 0 points.
62
Bosses (MSQ) Order does not matter. No points are awarded for "None" so feel free to guess. The boss must be announced during the series of announcement events. Any boss announced after these festivals will not count. Please note that this is for MSQ only, if you put the same boss name here as you did in the 8-man question, you will only be rewarded 1 point in the correct category.
63
Trial SeriesEach expansion brings a subsequent trial series. The Warring Triad in Heavensward, the Four Lords in Stormblood, the Weapons in Shadowbringers. What series is next?
64
TribesEach expansion brings beast tribes in Heavensward (Moogle/Vath/Vanu'vanu), Stormblood (Namazu/Ananta/Kojin), Shadowbringers (Dwarf/Qitari/Pixie). What 3 tribes will be included? Either naming the race or the creature they look most like in real life for the points. Vague posts like two-legged will receive no points.
65
Tiebreaker Answering this question will not negate points. In the unlikely event of a tie, you may post a single (MEANING ONE) unique fact about the next expansion that was not offered above. The person with the closest and most accurate description of the events described within the festival series of announcements will be selected as the winner. You may guess new transportation (previous winners would be Airships in Heavensward, Swimming in Stormblood), features (egis, summonings), the next endless dungeon series, etc. (Hint: people sometimes go nuts with this one, don't. One fact, because it has to be as accurate as humanly possible. If all tied for first answer something accurately, the most specific item wins. This awards zero points, just breaks a tie if there is one.
66
Bragging Rights If there's predictions you have on additional content, areas, story predictions, anything else that comes to mind, write them here. This is for bragging rights only that you *knew it*. As this is a free-for-all paragraph, you can write as much as you want. This question won't be judged.
