I'm not 100% anymore on all the lore in the Rebuilds, but here goes:

    -Eva unit 01 return
    -Misato breaking down and apologizing to Shinji (a nice long talk would be great as well).
    -An Asuka backstory (is the whole deal with her mom from NGE still the same?)
    -Is Asuka part Angel due to the glow from under her eye-patch and her super strength?
    -A Mari backstory (is she a time traveler, a Seele spy, or perhaps just fan-service personified).
    -Is the Wunder a dead angel? Is Mark 09 it's core? Does Gendo have an evil Wunder?
    -Will 2.22 Rei and/or 3.33 Kaworu return outside ghost forms?
    -Clarity on who the four Adams are. okay apparently there is a new theory on this forum, gotta go catch myself up
    -What's inside the door of guf?
    -Shinji's redemption.
    -Flashbacks on what happened in the time-skip (were there two parts to near 3rd impact? what happened to Lilith, is eva 13 now the Lilith?)
    -What are the failures of infinity?
    -What's up with Kaji and the classmates (and the penguin). Also some backstory on the new bridge bunnies would be nice.
    -What's up with the Nebby Key?
    -What was Seele up to in the Rebuilds, 3.0 made them so pointless (hopefully they have a trap planned for Final).
    -A clear answer if the sequel theory still stands (but who am I kidding, it'll be left ambiguous).
    -Wth is up with the bs throwaway lines like curse of eva, or Kaworu calling Gendo 'father', or Mari's remarks about Shinji's smell etc...
    -Not a sad ending, but also not a Disney ending. I hope Anno gives us something in between that will lead us to think (a lot).

I wanna see whatever Anno thinks is interesting and makes him happy creating. Thankfully, giving in to some arbitrary notion of fan-demand is nothing I have to worry about with him.

Misato having an actual conversation and being somewhat close to the more funny and vulnerable character she was in the original EVA.

Rei's character arc gets some proper emotional closure.

Other than that, Master Anno can fuck me up & get creative as he likes; I've learned to be cautious with my hopes.

Though if Shinji gets in ending that is objectively preferable to death and Mari turns out to be really just some brave, eccentric girl & not some random plot device for twists' sake, that's a nice bonus.

It would be sad that this version of Misato is the final Misato we get. Even in the end of evangelion she persisted as a very caring, eccentric and devoted character. She wasn't a perfect mother-figure, but her character now is someone resilient and determined to stop Nerv. I don't think it is possible she will ever be drunk or joking around in the context of the war that happens in eva 4.44.

I don't have specific set of expectations considering how 3.0 completely threw us all off-guard, but I'd very much like to see how Shin Eva will complete the tetralogy.

I love 3.0 and it's probably my favorite NTE entry yet, but it also feels disconnected from 1.0 and 2.0 by design to amplify the fish-out-of-water feel for both Shinji and the audience, so not only Shin now bears the burden to be the sequel to 3.0 but also has to tie up NTE thematically and narratively as a whole. This is kind of a non-answer, but honestly it's all I want, so when I finally get to watch it -whenever that will be- I can go back to 1.0 and think "Oh, so that's what it's all about!".
Breathe the air, take in the feeling of peace and harmony.
