Spring 2015
Going to Ishgard
Heavensward because there are multiple Heavens and multiple way to get to heavens.
Focused on thousand year Dragonsong War between Ishgard and Dravania
Story focuses on how player plays in war
Also focuses on the Wyrmking versus Throdan and the Knights Twelve
Level 60 Cap, for all jobs (including Hand/Land)
Massive new areas (I'm guessing bigger than what we have) (they'll discuss more at a later panel)
New race (Viangaa, but that's a joke haha); male and female, but not revealed
Multiple new jobs
All new primals (one of which is completely original to XIV)
Challenging new dungeons (emphasis on challenging?); not 3 or 4, but many new dungeons
New high-end raids
Airships! For FCs to build together, will be expanded past what's in 3.0
New gear and recipes (which is a given)

New areas:
The Dravanian Forelands (foresty/mountainy)
Areas beyond Coerthas
Can see them on current Eorzea map kind of
Multiple Floating landmasses in the Sea of Clouds (not on map)
A lot of focus on the mountains
Specifically mentions FF6 as an influence
Dravania and other beast tribes (new ones?!) have their domains

the excitement is unreal

HYPE! HYPE! HYPE!

Currently cannot express my excitement. So I'll just let you all know I made a very high pitched noise.

That Dragoon armor is clearly based on the Dark version of Kain from FF4 After Years.  This makes me happy.

Also they show more than one Dragoon! squeeeee!

I was trying to play FLs when they suddenly aired the trailer that right moment, and I'm very sorry about my FL mates because I think my eyes couldn't look back.

No words for the hype. No words.

New level cap makes me nervous though *laughs*. But yes, my FFXIV life is a very happy life right now.

All of the yes!

Edit: I know someone who has been RPing a miqo'te who has been trying hard to become a Dragoon, from the moment FFXIV ARR was released. He's going to die when he sees this trailer, and perhaps it might be ICly possible for his character to finally fulfill his dream and become a Dragoon! Since the main FFXIV character is supposed to be a stranger there, and yet he could become one.

Never been this hyped for LOLDRG until now. 

...Viangaa, lol. Nice one, Square. Doubt we're getting Viera yet (if ever), Yugiri seems more a Bangaa.

I'm more excited about the triumphant return of Derplander myself...
