After 2.4 ~~~

So in patch 2.4, we get the final traditional Esper/Primal/Etc which is Shiva and the other traditional Class Rogue/(Ninja doesnt count), What next in the lore universe of FFXIV. Especially after 2.4 and the expansion possibly at 3.0.

Will Omega/Ultima make a pure appereance?
Will we get to fight the Full Power of Odin? (NOT FATE)
Will we see other primals/esper/etc like Fenrir or Alexander?
Will we see other class especially Gun based class from the Garlean Empire?
Will Bahamut break free and wreck havoc again?
The full story of Crystal Tower?
Siren and Diablos Full Power? (PLEASE)

And More questions o.o

Let me join the Garlean Empire, so I can wear their sexy high tech armor. I will be evil for fashion.

I can't seem to find a source to say this is true, but the development team want to move away from primals soon and branch off into a new topic (finally).

(The new expansion will probably bring some new peril to endanger the earth in which you'll have to do sandwich making fetch/delivery quests, passing them to numerous amounts of ungrateful NPCS before you can slay [Evil Name here]!"

What?! But but there is so many primals to kill QAQ

and lol that sounds like a Side Story for the Hildibrand.

2.4 Last coil round of dungeons and hopefully end of it has a Bahamut fight. We might be able to mount Omega and use it to take down Bahamut. 2.5 We enter the World of Darkness for Crystal Tower. 2.6 Probably will have exp pack come out. Shiva come 2.4 & a Ice based horse and probably the bonus one if you own all of them. 2.4 see Ixian beast tribe quests and also Zodiark Weapons and new item level 120-135. There also some extra stuff they added this patch that noone aware of. Can expect some sorta Chocobo Shop next patch.

Primal Story pretty much over with. Shiva last main one of the group. Can expect primals to appear in the exp pack. Fenrir, Typhoon, Ultros should be coming soon. Shiva will get her own beast tribe next patch and will take over coethras. Already a new Ixian base in the north shroud, expect to see big adjustments to north shroud in 2.4 & Coethras.

Ultros is already confirmed to be in the next Hildibrand chapter. ^^

The gun-using Musketeer class has long been promised, (it was meant to have been in 1.0 but was dummied out of the game), and it's based in Limsa Lominsa. The Coral Tower was originally meant to be the MSK Guild - you can even see it's class symbol inside. It has nothing to do with Garlemald. SE have already said there's more classes and Jobs coming in the future and that they'll be revealing them later on during upcoming promotional events so just have patience. ;)

If you're referring to the Ixali Logging Grounds north of Fallgourd Float, that's hardly new, as it's been there since the Alpha version of ARR (and inhabited by hostile Ixal too no less). There is a new apparent settlement adjacent to Natalan in Coerthas though, where originally there was just a fence, there is now a locked gate with buildings behind it, a large tower next to it and new Ixali banners, so given the fact the earlier 'friendly' beastmen tribes' settlements are always situated next to or nearby their 'hostile' kin, I'm regarding this as the location of the future friendly Ixal tribe and not the Ixali Logging Grounds.

In fact, the patch notes in 2.3 were completely wrong - they stated that the new Ixal settlement is in the East Shroud, at map co-ordinates that point to a location deep in Sylph territory where there is just a path and nothing else!. So yeah, I'm pretty confident the new Ixal settlement is in Coerthas a little to the north west of Natalan.

I could totally see there being a Magitek Fighter class. Or Armor somewhere in the future at least. And I'd love to wear armor like that. Livia looked cool.

I'm excited for it too! XD

(Minor spoilers)
If you beat the current new Hildy quests it shows in the next chapter, Gilly and Enkidu will be returning, and Ultros will be arriving, and all of the current characters will be competing in an arena. :)

Hmm....possible in the expansion of 3.0 if the Story were to say we invade the Garlean Empire.

That's highly unlikely, given the fact that magitek is simply a utilization of cereuleum (processed aether), to compensate for true-blooded Garleans' natural inability for magic. Meaning it's just Garlemald's stand in for magic to allow it to face magically advanced nations/threats (like the Primals) on more equal terms.

Also advanced weaponry (read, gunblades) in the Garlean military is reserved for a privileged few (the officers like Gaius and his Tribuni, and elite troops like centurions) - the regular rank and file grunts who make up the bulk of Garlemald's army are actually people from conquered cities and wield more primitive weapons no different to what Eorzeans already wield like bows and spears.

Besides, you get a Imperial soldier's armour already as part of the storyline, and it's pretty crappy to be honest (I mean, it's level 1 gear!). But I digress...

Most of your questions is likely to end with "Yes" only the matter of time. They are kindda generic and what to be expected from current story line.

Oh darn. I guess its out of the question unless they do something else with that armor or something. Still we should get those weapons. I'd love that gunblade Gaius had.

Although I don't expect it for the expansion I hope they give us the Garlean Empire. It would be epic and a whole new side to the game, potentially doubling the amount of content. I would even re-level the equivalent classes on that side just to see the story and have that character.

Also PVP could be infinitely more meaningful.

In 3.0 Cid will craft a new ship that will be able to land on others planets, there we will travel to the others Final Fantasy mapmonde and i hope to go on the FFVIII one because the train there is really working and their airship BGU could lead to a free company housing, we're gonna also have Ultimecia as a boss (and as we defeated bahamuth in 2.9 we start again with bahamuth zero is grand brother in the hidden lab) and there will be glamour available for her dress.

East of Fallgourd Floats is a new settlement of a Ixali village which was added in 2.28, I believe. It's slightly north of Gelmorra Ruins, and connects towards Peacegardens.

The heck are you talking about? Ninja has been in Final Fantasy since the original game. If you recall, also, the Thief (read: Rogue) changed into it, as well.

I want jobs like Dark Knight or Red Mage *-*

A slightly different tank class would be fun. Rather than focus on taking big hits they'd take the brunt of the hit (obviously not as much as a dps or healer) but would use fairly high damage leech type abilities to regain health - like the assassin/shadow class in TOR before it was changed.

Why not a Samurai considering Gilgamesh is in the lore for the Side Story of the Hildibrand.

here be dragons

Dragons, Coerthas, Dragoon. done.

Personally, after 2.4. Hope they move away from Primals and branch off into newer, original content.

Regards conculsion of the BCoB story, fighting actual Bahamut would just seem odd. 8 versus a city sized Primal would just be wierd. But him also disapating into the aether after shutting down? each of the 3 coils would be, imo, anticliatical also. Just have to wait and see :D

the Frame lag, loading lag, server lag, lag lag lag XD

After how the 2.3 story ended (I aren't going to spoil it for people who might not be there yet) I can see 2.4 being the introduction of the Ishgard storyline, and Shiva will be linked to that. 2.5 will carry on the Ishgard storyline and after that I can see the first expansion coming, ending the Ishgard storyline, and finally opening the city to PCs.

Even in XI Shinryu makes an appearance in the same dimension where we never take out Omega, which too was designed to seek out a destroy a certain dragon (not Bahamut.)

2. It'll be a FATE.

3. Alexander would be a bit touchy since..generally he's some kind of protector or holy element, FFXIV has no light/dark/special elements anymore. (Even Astral/Umbral is missing for the most part.)

4. The only Gun stuff we heard of was that Musketeer will be magic based, honestly I hope not - Garleans need something to set them apart and if we're rocking their full technology and advances in warfare..what makes them unique? What makes them this all powerful empire?

5. There's only 2 spots left: Eureka, which was a treasure cave and will probably be a pitiful 4 man dungeon in ARR and the Dark Crystal, which is where the Warriors of Dark and Cloud of Darkness is. So "Full story" would happen at 2.6 or so most likely.

6. We'll never see Siren and Diabolos again, they're 4 man fodder in throwaway instances :(

So after Shiva it'll get interesting for sure but Fenrir is traditional now and XI pretty much solidfied his place as an important summon, he was HUGELY important to XI's storyline just like Carbuncle was so if he goes back to having almost no importance to anything, it would be a bit weird.

I look forward to the day we knock some sense back into the Archbishops' head. -rubs hands together with glee- Betcha anything they convinced the Holy See that Shiva would solve their dragon problem in one fell swoop only to have it come back and bite them in the butt.

I just want Dark Knight!

This is actually a brilliant idea, I would love the air/space ship and travel to a new world, or a moon, that is populated, so the aether story stays in place. I would still be part of the life stream and all that jazz.

Big Thumbs up Nexxus :D

in 2.5 they will add "The Chase" where a mob that can take only one hit will randomly spawn through out the game. IF you kill the mob Bahamut will explode like a Pinata raining down level 200 loot.

I wanna visit Ala Mhigo.
