I'm actually looking forward to see how they'll handle Ranger's FE! Always liked the idea behind the feature, but not the implementation (flat bonus against single subrace).
My dream is to see FE as a kind of combat style modules.
For example to be a dragon hunter you could pick energy resistance + combat bonuses vs. larger opponents. Or energy resistance + resistances to mind affecting as a mage slayer. Or ways to overcame DR + increased saves vs. supernatural attacks as a golem destruction specialist.
All in all, as a mage slayer you'll be very effective against mages, but also somewhat buffed against dragons or certain types of undead and outsiders. Although these bonuses would be useless against giants or gnolls. But if you went the dragonslayer route, you'd actually have some bonuses against giants too, but not undeads. And so on.
Hope this all made sense.
