Relic/Empyrean 119 +2 and so on

[Dekusuta]

Not sure about everyone else but I'd like to see content that isn't "here's your new grindy tower style event, spam ad infinitum for upgrade type content."

Well ok, the spamming part I get, but as this is the FFXI 15th anniversary there's a golden opportunity here to wrap up these inevitable gear upgrades into some lore.

Would love an old world story path that leads to the end-game arenas we need to spam for these +1s.

Perhaps tie in Relic 119 +/2/3 to Tavnazia /COP/Limbus and Empyrean 119 +2/3 to Abyssea/WoTG/Aht Urghan

Also as March 2017 is fast approaching and Ambuscade content appears to have been exhausted in terms of gear sets, what is the road map for the game for the next year?
