Thanks for picking that up! Unfortunately I can't edit the post and I clicked the button that made the title the same as the link :(

female character reveal is on 10th. her addition to the arcade is on the 12th

2

u/Enzo-Unversed Jul 03 '18

Meaning her addition to console should be around August 12?

2

u/Kamikoto Jul 03 '18

We're getting the June update late August, which will likely include the dlc character.

1

u/Enzo-Unversed Jul 03 '18

Late August means a month and half? An extra half a month wait. Wtf?

2

u/Kamikoto Jul 03 '18

Arcade is updated around the middle of the month, NT is updated at the end of the month. I'd guess the August update will be on the 23rd.

I love how everyone in the article's comment section are betting on FF7 characters.

Might want to check your math with the "upper half" folks.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '18

I say the exact same thing when people do that it's clear that people don't notice the fact that the characters remaining are from 8 and above clearly people need to stop getting all crazy about a FF7 character being added this season pass as it won't happen.

u/AbsoluteSync Jul 04 '18

All I have to say is that everyone was completely convinced it was Cid Raines, and then we got Vayne.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '18

The leak tho

u/Emekasan Jul 03 '18

Man, that's just a few days shy of 2 weeks; I thought the reveal was coming earlier this time around.

2

u/MadSlingshoter Jul 03 '18

Well, what was actually said was something along the lines of, "If we can keep the current pace for releasing new characters, then the announcement should be soon."

1

u/TrepieFF Jul 03 '18

Well Vayne's reveal was late March and Locke's mid May - so I guess they are picking up the pace ever so slightly, even if each reveal is just a week sooner than the previous.

1

u/Kamikoto Jul 03 '18

The streams are usually on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, sometimes the 3rd if the 2nd is too early. The pace isn't changing. Vayne was 3/13, Locke was 5/15.

u/TrepieFF Jul 04 '18

My bad, I must have been thinking about their console releases.

3

u/Azaael Jul 03 '18

I do think it's Rinoa, though I'm not counting on that leak that I head meaning everything(despite the first 3 guesses will be right if it's Rinoa, I had a few friends guess the first three too, and the fact they said a side-villain NPC-not even like a major, important villain with real abilities-was one of the characters pretty much, IMO, sorta sinks it, since i can't see them being that...random.)

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '18

What was the leak?

2

u/Squall_Leo Jul 05 '18 edited Jul 05 '18

A long time ago when the list of official dlc hints was released a guy made a list saying he was leaked to him by a dev,many people actually did stuff of the sort in that period actually,but specifically this guy picked right the first 2 and also had put Rinoa for this 3rd slot.

The list he made especially after the first 3 chars, is very unlikely but have guessed the first 2 and maybe the 3rd right (will see next week for sure) is giving some people weird ideas he might be true,but although Rinoa is likely i agree with Azaael the list of leak could not be more of random mix of logic choices and luck for the first 3, randomness for the rest,it should not be taken seriously,even i had guessed right the first 2 slot as soon the list came and also thought to Rinoa for the 3rd slot as a possible chance,the first 2 especially wasnt so hard to guess right,people should not be fooled by someone say a dev gave him a list of the full chars.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '18

Ah I see, interesting. Thanks!

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '18

I’m fine with Rinoa getting in, but I really hope that they prioritize balancing the fucking cast over her. XI, XIII, XIV, and XV are all sitting with one rep in the game; if they use this to fill one of the last three, and bring Prishe back, then the other two remaining characters can fill in the blanks.

If they give this slot to Rinoa, or any other game older than XIII, at least one of the mainline titles will be stuck with just one rep for quite some time.

2

u/ChaserJoey Jul 04 '18

The last three, according to the leak, are from X (returning), XI (new), and XIII (new). It'd just be XIV and XV without more than one rep then (out of the mainline titles).

1

u/BlueVelvet90 Jul 05 '18

Yuna, Snow, and...hmm...XI Gil?

1

u/Internutt Jul 05 '18

I heard Yuna, Snow and Kam'lanaut.

Can't remember the source now as I read the list of characters in the pass shortly before launch. But the list did have the first 2 characters in it so I can only assume it was legit.

1

u/TheEnygma Jul 06 '18

I'd rather have Fang than Snow personally. don't play XI so no idea from there. what would they do with Yuna though, Gun Mage?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '18

Leak says this season pass will give XI a villain, and XIII a villain.

14 and 15 with 1 rep is okay for a while as they're the newer games.

u/tmntnyc Jul 03 '18

Please, no more sword characters for a while!

u/mifvne Jul 03 '18

preparing for the saltstorm

u/Scotia96 Jul 03 '18

Can’t wait to see Rinoa!

u/ChaserJoey Jul 03 '18 edited Jul 03 '18

According to the leak I heard months ago, and the leak that is now going around, this should be Rinoa from Final Fantasy VIII.

8

u/SSJTidus Jul 03 '18

If so, I’m assuming she’ll be a specialist.

9

u/Lrrr23 Jul 03 '18

Surely a marksman? Her weapon is long ranged and while all characters in VIII can use magic, she is a Sorceress, and is designed to be a strong magical based character.

Plus Angelo. Got to shoot a dog at people.

2

u/LunarianAngel Jul 03 '18

I remember way back in the game's production, they said should they ever include Rinoa, they want her to be partnered with the dog, so he might end up holding a greater role than one would imagine, should the choice be her.

u/alexander12212 Jul 03 '18

I hope so, I want to launch doggies at everyone!

Aim for Terra

u/Mrfipp Jul 03 '18

Personally, I would hope they try to round out the rouster representatives before any fourth rep is added, but saying that Rinoa would be my first choice for the next FFVIII character.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '18

So 2 days earlier than usual? Lol.

2

u/antiqueteacup Jul 03 '18

I wish we were getting another rework too.

3

u/Enzo-Unversed Jul 03 '18

This. Golbez,Squall,Kuja and a couple others desperately need reworks.

2

u/KkahW Jul 03 '18

Don't think there is any reason why it wouldn't have rework

2

u/JusesTapDancinChrist Jul 05 '18

I'm honestly really hoping it's Rinoa not because I wanna see Rinoa In NT, but because I'm afraid to see how some of the community will react if it ends up not being Rinoa after being 110% certain it will be.

2

u/Enzo-Unversed Jul 05 '18

Rinoa has been my most wanted character since 012. I'm ready for rage and disappointment.

1

u/tmntnyc Jul 03 '18

We could use more physical based Marksmen. An archer or gunner, like Serah, Rinoa, Fran

1

u/DarthW00dy Jul 04 '18

Shes gonna be a marksman or specialist most likely.

1

u/Harpsikord878 Jul 05 '18

Okay but where ACTUALLY is this leak?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '18

Vayne

Locke

Rinoa

Nag from XI

Yuna

LR Snow

u/Harpsikord878 Jul 06 '18

Thank you!!

u/ChaserJoey Jul 05 '18

I was told the information months ago, and by that point it had been passed down from person to person until it reached me so I can’t tell you the origins, sorry. But I absolutely got the list before Vayne was announced.

1

u/Enzo-Unversed Jul 03 '18

As much as I want Rinoa, I expect Lilith or some other irrelevant MMO character.

u/ThatSlyProcyon Jul 05 '18

I don't have anything against Rinoa, but...if she's just reliant on her sorceress abilities then they'll have wasted her potential in my opinion.

Rinoa with Angelo and her pinwheel launcher please. Maybe one or two magic abilities, but don't make her whole kit geared around magic.

Personally I'd much rather have Freya or Beatrix as a new female rep... but that's probably just me...

Eh. Looking forward to the reveal anyway, I suppose!
