the next expansion prediction`

the next expansion will have samurai

the content dev spoke a few thing that lead me believe the yugiri homeland will next expansion. and why samurai will add first is his speak about content. the warrior of darkness came for the moon. why do i think they going add samurai. first off ninja came for the far eastern. yugiri herself is a ninja. second the samurai would good time be added. i not full versus in japenese histroy but i believe ninja around same time as samurai. i believe the far eastern will more japenese style building see ninja job quests.
so this easy time add the samurai. blue mage and red mage these may also be add.

I wish they would add a true Archery class (full dps, no support class) that can fully move around while attacking, no standing still skills please.

I would also love to see a (second) full summoner (dps) class with a lot more summons.
Or a class in between a BLM and SMN would be awesome too ;)

I have nothing to add except those bunnies in your sig are pretty much the most adorable thing ever. Do want.

I would think we would want to get rid of the Garleans in Ala Mhigo first before we go out of our way across Eorzea to Doma...

As long as it's full dps class and gets cool + cute (the new primal minions comes in mind Link) + awesome pets, I'm all for it :P

Samurai for Ranger. Give it a bow in its off hand slot, similar to how Paladin has a sword and shield. Then just work in a stance dance for it switching from ranged to melee. Perhaps rather than melee combos, it has melee finishers, so you have your ranged combos building up to epic Samurai style single sword swipes. Samurai is so much more deserving of the Yasha Dogi of Aiming, or Raijodo, or Yoichi Bow...

that would be cool :o , i remember my old sam/rng in FFXI D: , those were the times!

ppl want RDM , and SAM , but i would love to see BST or BLU too

We will retake Ala Mhigo, it will be a Garlean-like city (occupied for 20 years it would be like most Imperial cities by now I think). Ala Mhigo is on the west coast of the Sea of Jade, directly east from it is the now bombed out and most likely no longer occupied Doma being rebuild a la Idlshire. So if they were serious that 3.0 was flying, we may very well see swimming this time. Take Ala, take to the seas, hit doma for Samurai.... get RDM from Ala Mhigo (people who worship destruction may have "Blood Mages" i think).... and whatever else.

And while on the topic.... Red Mage should and could borrow from Machina Kunagiri.... twin sabers would be fun.

I'd love Samurai and Ranger, with the latter being a mix of archer and beastmaster.

I think they said there would only be one new job launching with 4.0. Or at least that they never intend to introduce 3 new jobs at the same time. They also said that 3.0 would either have a theme of ocean or sky, and they chose sky. So 4.0 will likely involve water and coastal locations.

Whatever the case may be, we'll probably get a hint when 3.1 launches, assuming they continue the tradition of poetry hinting toward the future expansion.

Personally, I doubt we will be seeing Doma or the Garlean Empire, until we at least see a proper map of the world somewhere. Eorzea is the western most continent, but we've never even seen a proper outline of the central or eastern continents.

I thought Eorzea was the entire world and Aldernard was the continent

I think, if I'm not mistaken, Hydaelyn is the world, Eorzea is a continent and so is Aldenard.

Nope.

Nope, Eorzea is more "central" if anything. Mamool Ja came from a continent to the west (the new world), Garlemald is northeast, Thavnaria (which seems to be an island, rather than continent) off to the east, Sharlayan (another island, not to be confused with the city in Dravania) to the north, and Meracydia to the south.

Anyway, I doubt we'll be seeing Doma, considering that it was apparently razed to the ground by the empire. As for where I'd like to visit next... Finish up Eorzea before moving out, I say... Lets see Paglth'an, Xelphatol, and the northern half of Vylbrand (so Mount O'ghomoro), lets see the Far Reach and Yafaem Saltmoor. Finish the current map before giving us a whole new one...

Beyond that though, Thavnairia has been kicking around since 2.0, being somewhat of a big part of the Relic questline. The recent Alchemist questline also involved a Thavnairian Alchemist called Waoud, who might sound familiar to anyone who play Final Fantasy XI and unlocked Blue Mage, hint-hint nudge-nudge.

IIRC, Aldenard is the continent, Eorzea is the region. Vylbrand (Limsa) is a separate island to Aldenard, but Vylbrand is still part of Eorzea.

You didn't mention Ala Mihgo, which I'm betting is where some of the action will be. It's on the continent, right by Mor Dhona.

*Gridania, and yeah, Ala Mhigo would be fine, but all the blackspots on the map currently still bug me... Given how many new zones we got with Heavensward... Yeah, I'd rather see Paglth'an, Xelphatol, and O'ghomoro, effectively giving us a Beast Tribe expansion... An Ala Mhigo expansion I imagine would focus on that region and pushing into Garlemald, but I'd quite like to see existing regions filled out.

There are also places like Western Shroud, which looks very interesting, but we have no means of approaching at the moment. Kind of hoping that ends up being a new region for the Airship Exploration in 3.3 or something...

Point is, they've never drawn even a halfway accurate map, to my knowledge. Sure, stuff like the Mamool Ja home you mentioned (I've never even heard of that) might be out there where Eorzean cartographers can only speculate, but we don't even have a map of the highly advanced Garlean Empire. You would think they had a map of their home continent lying around in one of the bases we've raided, but the only thing we've ever seen is obscured by clouds.

I wonder about that, would they need an "accurate" map of the entire world? A world map isn't particularly accurate anyway... Well, the map of Eorzea isn't either come to think about it... Point is, Garlemald is invading Eorzea, they'd want maps of Eorzea that are as accurate as possible, having a world map, in which Eorzea is just a small part, would not be particularly useful. Most of that map is completely meaningless to an Eorzean campaign... If you were invading France, for example, a map which also has America and Japan (basically a world map) on it is going to be utterly terrible, because the detail on France (which is what you want to focus on) would be non-existent.

As for the Mamool Ja, check out Gubal Library;

Nope, Hydaelyn is the actual name of the actual world/planet - Eorzea is just a 'realm', or section of that world, which indeed encompasses the continent of Aldenard and the smaller island of Vylbrand. Unfortunately the two are easily confused especially when npcs are constantly referring to Eorzea in indeed more of a 'world' context, but it wouldn't be the first time that has happened in a FF game (*cough* Ivalice *cough cough*).

Well if we're going to the moon we'll need an accurate world view....
...theoretically

What I want to see in the next expansion:
1: The take back of ala mihgo
2: Samurai, Red mage, Blue mage, gunner/corsair class/job
3: better end game that isn't tome farming.
4: for all new classes and jobs to star at level 1. I appreciate the heavenward jobs starting at 30.... But felt it was overwhelmingly stagging.

The last expansion added areas based around a theme of flying and added a tank, healer and DPS job. I'd like to see the next expansion based around water (sailing, swimming and diving). As for new jobs, I'd love to see Dancer (which could actually be positioned as any of the tank, healer or dps roles).

What might be fun would be a Dancer that could be progressed to be tank, healer or dp (like different styles of dance). I'd love to see Krump as a style used for tanking dance!

in a full party
3 melee DPS share 2 slots.
2 caster DPS share 1 slot.
2 ranged DPS share 1 slot.

we're short 1 melee, not 1 caster and 1 ranged.

Nice ones!

And yeah, starting at lvl 1 would be nice, for those that loves to lvl up.. and get used to the skillset along the way, and tweaking it until the cap lvl, it's a fun process! ^^

pretty sure next jobs will have all of their skills available and they'll be max lvl.. because that's where the real game begins! T_T
