In addition to the playable ancestries in Galaxy Guide, that's a whole lot of good choices right off the bat.

Excellent, my character that played the Scoured Stars plot line back when it was happening is ready to go back and tell a certain giant, gold-plated deity what a terrible absent parent he is and shake her fist at him again.

They also look and feel way bigger than Centaur and Minotaur is just looking at them. He’s standing next to an orc and they are not short

To be honest, how you measure horses are in hands, and to the top of the shoulder/withers (basically where shoulder meets neck). A pony can generally be up to 14.3 hands high (or about 150cm, not sure what in inches) at the withers.

And considering the withers is where the human parts start on a centaur, and my own height (about 170cm/5'7"), even the Ponygait centaur can be pretty tall compared to the average human.

Ooh, so I wonder how all this is going to play out with the Hellknight Order of the Scourge?

They have basically been on alert to rebel against Cheliax since the Path of the Hellknight book came out. Delicious implications for my 1e Inquisitor of Ragathiel/Hellknight...

No factions is an interesting choice; I wonder why that was made? Maybe to not have to manage a faction rep subsystem.

I think it's confusing. I know SF earlier, you "slotted boons" including which faction you represented that game.

But it's also confusing as to "do I just belong to this faction, or can I swap around and represent Wayfinders one game, then Acquisitives another?" Answer is yes, you can move around, but people forget or misunderstand or brainfart on that all the time.

As far as Achievement Point awards, I miss the expensive vanity purchases from PF1, like being able to buy your own island or ship. It was a lot of fun when you had to travel somewhere by boat to the adventure to say, "Let's take my ship!" I liked the ability to invest my characters further into the world. I'd love to see that kind of thing.

I hope that that comes back in some capacity.

Having a farm to retire to (and also make handle animal her dayjob) was so great for my Empyreal Knight Paladin.

Even retirement vanities of like "you retire and start teaching new Pathfinders what you know as a teacher at the Grand Lodge" would be so fun.

Speaking as a GM, we've really had problems with high level play taking too much time and game stores with firm cut off times.

I also don't really like level 1-4 play, but I absolutely understand the move to cap games at level 10.

The "people can only do high level play in SFS mode" commenters... No, only if the scenario is not running over time. You hit the same time commitment problem as AP books if your GM lets you have fun with role play, or if players spend time arguing or planning.
Even if your GM is moving you around quickly, or you're replay "speedrunning", you can still run over time on some scenarios if combat blows out. And combat can blow out from bad rolls, so it may not actually be anything in your GM's control.

Also, AP books don't neccessarily take that long. 3 sessions (of 4-6 hours) is doable. Same as an SFS retirement arc, really.

Deciding before you actually experience it isn't an informed decision.

During the SF2e playtest I played Shards of the Glass Planet 3 times back to back, each time with a different character class, GM, and group of players, it played and felt different each time. Although I played D&D for decades I never played it in organized play, what about repeatable adventures made it bad for D&D? Also how frequently did new organized play adventures come out for D&D?

Replaying is difficult for some people. Some players can't properly 'play dumb' like some scenarios need you to do. There's no mystery, no surprise. Some players can't help but say "OH LAST TIME I DID THIS [story time]", which makes my personal experience at the table less special.

DnD Org Play had an issue where people would get together, 4 people had played the scenario, and they'd all just say "Well, we have 3 characters that want credit for this, so lets just speedrun this" and new players didn't get a chance to actually experience the scenario at all. No, that won't happen everywhere, everyone will say "No, we won't let that happen", but somewhere, it will, because it's not technically against the rules.

That's speaking like this hasn't happened in PF1e Society.

I know I came in towards the end, and even with making people aware I had not played or run a scenario, and it was a plot important to my character so I would like to experience it fully, they sped-ran it. It could just be about who I was playing with, but saying that's just DnD Org Play is blatantly false.

We did that in part 1 of a Seeker Arc at the end Society for first edition. It was a fun but deadly adventure.

I do believe my VC that did that adventure would volunteer to go back.

Given he can turn into a huge size dragon now, it would probably exponentially speed up the process of wrecking the island approaching the Red Mantis :D

Rolling Precog into Witchwarper looks great.

Any particular reason Zemir has a streetlamp now?

Some earlier comment on Zemir art with a huge sword said it was a physical anchor, but might/would change in the final release. I'm guessing that's his anchor, but I won't hazard a guess as to why that in particular is his anchor.
Speaking from the Org Play perspective... having a pregen with a weapon that they can't innately use in their class is _tricky_. Zemir's sword was always a huge drawback from the overall feel of the class and we wanted to evolve that in this new version!

Is that a Lantern Staff? If so, my PFS1e Oracle of Whimsy Approves. XD

Honestly, it's an international organisation, there's HQ, and then there's regions.

Not only that, but they have their own training facility (The Masters of Spell, Sword and Scroll are basically Deans and Subject Head Teachers of a private university essentially).

I think if anything, a clear organisation chart would be nice, especially when it comes to the regions. It'd be nice to know who's operating where (especially for PF Infinite content makers).

ABSOLUTELY. Because it is a fact universally acknowledged that swimming in duck ponds is a thing every Regency aristocrat must do. (I am so amused at how many movies since the first Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice have featured a wet-shirt scene for the comely gentlemen. Bridgerton has done it once a season so far.)

I am all for more PF related "comely gentleman in a wet shirt". Last one I saw was Count Arendae of Mendev (after my [Wrath of the Righteous CRPG] Knight Commander "introduced" him to his desired poetic outcome of "love interest bathes under waterfall"; by shoving him in). That is entirely not enough!

I should add that we will be looking for volunteer GM's for the Academy program. If you enjoy GMing and teaching kids, teens, and sometimes moms and dads, HAVE I GOT A JOB FOR YOU! Please watch out for volunteer submission information for Gen Con in the near future. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the Academy program at Gen Con.

I always bring a (dollar store type with big buttons) calculator to IRL tables, cause I'm bad at math.

It can be really useful for kidlets who want to join but also may not be great at math (or adults who may wanna try but are also bad at math). It's a great accessibility tool to have lurking in a IRL GM kit, even if we generally all have phones with inbuilt calculators.
