(Warning: Dawntrail and Shadowbringers spoilers)
One huge difference between the Dawntrail reveal and the Evercold reveal was the number of spoilers that came to be. Evercold really has done a much better job.
The Dawntrail announcement brought on Solution 9 which should have never been revealed during the FanFests. It was the big surprise that was revealed before the birthday party.

For example, we don't know:
- The villain
- The villain's intentions
- The trial series
- The bosses
- How the Scions got there
- Who the cutscene people are (though one-eyed Odin is definitely a possibility)
- What the endgame player hub zone looks like
- Areas beyond a few airships
- What Exploratory Mission or Endless Dungeon or other content awaits us in the future
As opposed to Dawntrail where we were:
- Told who all the characters were (heroes and villains alike)
- Told of exploratory missions and endless dungeons
- Told of the final zone
- Told of nearly every zone
- Told of the trials
- Told half of the story (rite of succession)
- Told of the whole road map all the way to Beastmaster
I know it's not a lot but it's immensely appreciated.
