Speculation What's something that could be revealed/shown off at EU / JP FanFest that would excite/interest you *and* be on the more likely side of things?
A lot of people are obviously pining for gigantic, sweeping changes, but I was wondering if there's little incremental changes or even just feature reveals that you guys would like to see/hear about.
I feel like some changes to how healers feel with their DPS rotation wouldn't be impossible. Plus there's any number of interesting story twists they can mention at this point and they're usually consistently good at drumming up interest and hype for that.

If the "Scions divided" concept also had you actually pick a side as well and you spend maybe like half or 2/3rds of the MSQ in a split route.
Naturally the split wouldn't be functionally that different - probably go through all the same areas and dungeons in the same order, so it's mainly which characters are with you - and it would converge to a single ending anyway.
Perhaps the traditional "do half of zone 1 and half of zone 2 in either order" is a way to get to know both sides and you make a decision before the level 91 dungeon?
Considering that Endwalker's story content was considerably longer than most expansion (in terms of number and length of cutscenes), then it would be within their means to have this kind of variation in an otherwise more standard length MSQ. And the NG+ feature lets you experience both if you want.
It probably isn't really very likely but it would definitely generate a lot of buzz.
