FFXIV single-player prequel trilogy?

[Duelle]

I'd play it. Maybe like a prequel to 1.0, a single-player retelling of 1.0 (redesigned, not recycled), and events leading up to 2.0?

If we're talking prequel, it would be more likely for it to be a story featuring the Circle of Knowing, the discovery of whatshername and the events that fill in the gaps between the flashbacks we've seen during the main story and what we see in ARR. Who knows, the fangirls would probably love the idea of playing as Thancred or something.

Hmmmmm how cool would it be to play a prequel that involved Nael Van Darnus and the others as party members you control, and you get to see their stories from their perspectives until they meet and then that becomes your group. Perhaps the game could come to an end around the time Nael was present after the first fight with Ifrit?

Hmm...the Suikoden III approach would be fitting. A 4-chapter story to start (Thanred, Y'shtola, Papalymo, Yda) leading of them coming together. Could end with a fight against Gaius (the CS where he still had the Darth Vader voice) or as you've said, leacding to the events with Nael after the fight with Ifrit.
