The Knowledge Domain Cleric presented in that Realms UA is sort of the Psionic Cleric subclass. I definitely think the Ardent class of 3.5e and 4e, should be the College of Ardor subclass of the Bard.

It was Psychometabolism=Con and Metacreativity=Int, but I think there's potential in having the Shaper as a "Pet" subclass of Psion (though I'm aware the power budget of pets and full casters tend to be limited). Maybe it can take a bit of the Thrallherd prestige class too, except with having a...

If they aren't going with a Warlord subclass of Fighter, than they have to open up a Warlord base class to a lot of things, including subclasses that dabble in magic. Like 2 non-magical subclasses and 2 subclasses that are more magical.

Any thoughts how they could implement the Seer or Shaper subclasses? The Seer suffers from being traditionally rather close to the Diviner Wizard, but many of the interesting 3.5e Clairsentience powers were often shared with the Psychic Warrior. I guess they could try pushing the Seer more...

I also think they should actually try making Flumphs as a PC species option as they're also sort of Psionic themed, I certainly have my own ideas on how I'd implement them. But I actually want to see WotC try it, just so I can see if they'll commission art for a Flumph Paladin in Plate Armor, I...

I definitely want the Elan to come back

I think they removed references to the Weave in the 2024 core books, I don't even recall them mentioning Human ethnic groups of the Forgotten Realms that were mentioned in the 2014 PHB.

Somatic components with Psionics are Mudras, spiritual gestures in Hinduism. A lot of D&D's ideas of Psionics specifically come from the more esoteric ideas in Yoga. Some of the classic D&D disciplines/schools of Psionics correspond to the Siddhis in Hinduism and the powers that Yogis are said...

A victory for me on the "Psions should be spellcasters using spells" advocate group! Now my comments at first glance: I think Psions still using Somatic components are relevant since after all how often do you see comic book telepaths putting their fingers on their temples to use psychic...

So I made a connection in my mind with the Polynesian-themed Storm Goliath that's depicted as the Circle of the Sea Druid in the PHB with the Pillars of Eternity II: Dreadfire companion Tekēhu. As a Godlike he's technically a Water Genasi in D&D terms but is of Aumaua background which is sort of...

I don't think all Aberrations are about horror, and I actually have stats in mind for Flumphs as a PC option.

In general I think it's miracle that Veilguard turned out to be the game it was given all the things that happened outside of the game. I don't think the publisher got the right idea for what happened with the game, as one of their execs got the wrong message and still feels it would have been...

Markings seem to be the main visual indicator for Goliaths beyond their size, I'm guessing they want to emphasize Giant runes somewhere.

Anyways one thing about the newer Goliaths is I feel there's room for some campaign specific variations. For example Dark Sun would have a Goliath that resembles mini Humanoid Head Giants, which are the classic Half-Giants of DS. And there could be a Beast-Head Goliath variety that's connected...

Even though Monsters of the Multiverse where the Genasi last appeared is more 2024 compatible than other books, I think the Genasi are going to need more of a reformatting. They'd probably be written as just 1 species with lineage options, like Elves, Gnomes, Tieflings and Goliaths have been...

I wish they tried to bring back the Elan, they sort of have a picture of an Elan in the 2024 PHB as the Psi Warrior looks a lot like an Elan from 3.5e. Though bringing back the Elan they might need to work more on why they're Aberrations for having a psionic physiology. For plants, they tried...

We don't have playable Illithid or Beholders lite species yet. Sure the Gith are related to Illithids, but I think they'd be more embraced because of Lae'zel (or Dak'kon for those older players).

It hasn't been a year yet for the 2024 PHB, but it's been more than a year since they've been included in the playtests and almost a year since we've seen some art for them from the PHB previews? We've definitely had the classic Stone Goliaths as the vision of what Goliaths were since 3.5e, but...
