The Occult Crescent: North Horn and The Forked Tower: Magic (Extreme) World Race Thread

Servers aren't up for another hour but sleep calls for me and while you can sticky scheduled threads New Reddit is weird about default comment order sometimes.

Surely someone, somewhere will be racing for this or otherwise attempting to get WF.

As ever, if there's a glaring aspect or opinion about the new content that you feel warrants its own top level thread, feel free to make it. This is more just a collation of more surface-level reactions and opinions, as well as news.

For fun: What will Bastion's abbreviation be?

The obvious one is BTN, but... Botanist already exists!

BST? Beastmaster already took it.

BSN is another, might skew close to Blacksmith (BSM) though.

BAS? Feels like the same energy as people that wanted Gunbreaker to be GUN.

All the good ones are taken or kind of adjacent to others that already exist, but if I had to guess BSN is the likely one.

With the doors opening and seating beginning, from what I'm aware, felt like it's a good enough time to make the general thread for both days of Fanfest. This is for general venue talk, side activity or panel stuff, anything that's not the keynote or live letter, really. Since, historically, these threads don't get much traction (people at Fanfest are probably... Enjoying Fanfest!), this time there will just be one thread across two days instead of a thread per day.

The keynote megathread will be created in just under two hours, shortly before the keynote starts. There will also be a Live Letter thread, but given I'll probably be sleeping during that one (It's marketed to be just a Beastmaster showcase and I feel I've seen what I need to regarding that job for now), it probably will not get stickied properly and will just be a scheduled thread that shows up on time. No other panel or event this time seems "worth" a dedicated thread, unlike the Battle Design panel last time which was the Evolved showcase. The Soken panel about sound design will probably be worth viewing still, however!

I hope all the attendees have a fun weekend and especially enjoy the concerts, they're always a great time.

High-End Content Megathread - 7.5 Week Thirteen

Due to Fanfest being this weekend and a decent amount of our users being Old Reddit users where they can only see two stickied/highlighted threads, the weekly threads will be removed from highlights once Fanfest starts to make way for the event threads.

If I had a nickel for every time a game with Bahamut in it had a blond man obsessed with strength and combat at the top of a tower I'd have ten cents

Zenos's flaw was that he wasn't willing to become shirtless when it was time for his desperation attack.
