I think historically that an expansion name and teaser trailer come from the first Fan Fest of the year, but I'm not 100% sure.. what sorts of announcements do you want to see?

You basically phrased my uncertainty better than I could. Really hoping the dev team is able to address these aspects of longevity, particularly concerning story length. FF14 has an amazing story, but at this point asking a new player to invest hundreds of hours into it just to catch up is a huge ask, no matter how good it is.

I don't think they're giving up on 14 after just this expansion, though, given that they are also adding graphical improvements. Seems like a weird addition to make if the intent was to make it end-of-life in the near future.
