Wings of the Goddes in FF14

Posts like this just make me realize I better get all the umbral storyline and GC quests done quickly.

way down the line can be good a thing.

but im hoping for Rise of the Zilart & Chains of Promathia big number of zones in the first ffxiv expansion.

They would handle it like FFXIII. You go through an aetheryte to a separate setting, do something and return to finish the quest. I liked it in FFXIII. Lots of people griped about it.

too soon to even look at a time travel type scenerio

wtf? we are living in the past.

I think that would Severly cheapen the Seventh Umbral Era story arc.


Unless of course, you go back "In order to prevent the calamity from beginning" and unknowingly are the progenitor of it. Time paradoxes ftw!

This sort of plot device could easily be used to make numerous instances out of open world areas, similar to Dynamis Zones in a sense. Recycling areas just with reskins and different items and npcs/mobs. Potential to add slew of new content.

Example:

Current timeline could implement ruins of Sil'dih full of wraits and zombies (Sil'dih instance dungeon A)
Past timeline zone number 1 could have Sil'dih during its time of war with Ul'dah (Sil'dih instance battlefield A)
Even further back timeline zone number 2 could have Sil'dih in its prime as a bustling metropolis (Sil'dih instance city quest hub A)

Maybe the source of the voice in the sky will have the power to do things like time travel.

Agreed.

Personally, I'd rather take the caverns of time approach and have us go to key moments in Eorzea's history. Problem is, the world is still relatively "young" content-wise, and the only meaningful event I can think of is the fall of Ala Mihgo.

It would be nice if they did this as an expansion later, they could have us doing the quests that we're doing now for those that missed out on 1.0, possibly a way for them to get the ifrit, moogle and garuda weapons too.
