[Compilation] Possible upcoming features

Hoy!

I've climbed aboard the hype ship and compiled a small list of things people might've forgotten or have yet to see in game - - in the form of pictures. It might not be in at launch, but I've got some speculations as of whats going to be in the updates. I think 3D models of things are pretty valid proof of atleast prototyping, so here they are:

This one's pretty self explanatory, pet cats. I've yet to find a picture of an actual 3D model of any other pet animals that have been talked about. So we know cats are coming for sure, parrots have been illustrated but monkeys are yet to be seen at all.

Here we see a small compilation of different types of skeletons and a mystery enemy that could probably be in the first live campaign within the game. So, an overgrown floral skeleton, shadow skeleton and gold hoarder skeletons. The bottom right one is from this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h1HP5u7Onc at 22:15 ) behind the scenes at Rare studios. It's a statue with some sort of blue flames and a ghastly looking pirate figure, and the bottom of it says "sea of thieves" so it quite closely ties it to the game. My only question is why would they make a huge statue if it wasn't something important.

Mermaids!
How did people forget about mermaids? Is the common conception now that they'll only have the friendly mermaid that teleports you back to your ship? I haven't seen any mermaid hunts yet, but it's pretty certain this fishy folk is going to be in the game. The bottom right one is a screenshot of a 3D model showcased in the art of adventure panel back in 2016. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAIhlMH4ztY at 30:30 )

Then, ghosts. We know for sure these are going to be in the game and it isn't limited to the Ferry of the Damned. The top two are quite early in the developement. The bottom pictures are from Athena's Treasure. Wild speculation is that the legendary ship might just be a ghost ship since it would be a clear cosmetic sign of being a legendary pirate.. and perhaps the legends will be able to gain a ghostly form, similar to the one that flashes in the IPG. I find it very plausible as we can clearly see a ghost bartender, and a merchant in the very bottom of the picture. I'm not sure if anyone's caught it, but one of the ghostly pirates seems to be holding a string instrument, perhaps a guitar or a banjo of sorts?

Dice!
Rare has been teasing us with the dice for the longest time, but what if it was an elaborate troll to have them show the same face each time, distracting form the fact that they're just adding dice into the game. The other picture is from the start screen when you start up the game. In the AMA, they did confirm that dice have been prototyped, but won't add a minigame. So what I assume that means is that there will be dice that you can throw, but the rules will be your own to make. They'll just allow us the possibility of gambling but won't make it a forced mechanic. The picture on the right does seem to have the fiddle in it too.

And to end it with wild speculation of these NEW PANTS.
The ghastly glow seems similar of the instrument on one of the ghosts above. Let's just call it the legendary hurdy-gurdy. They could be part of the legendary pirate outfit set.

TL;DR list of things probably coming in the game here:

• Pet cats
• Dice
• Mermaids and Mermen
• Ghosts
• Ghostships
• Legendary outfit
• Legendary instruments
• New types of skeletons
• Mysterious ghastly enemy featuring blue fire
• String instruments (Fiddle & Banjo)
