First details for second Final Fantasy XIV expansion already decided

[Nadirah]

The last WoW expansion(which I think was $60 versus the normal $40?) added a selfie tool, Twitter integration, a daily hub, and one raid. That was its entire patch cycle.

Allow me to reiterate:

EQ2 put out a larger expansion and its cycles are around a year...ish. 8-14mo.

Free to play. More content than WoW.

It made me sad.

I feel like the next logical places to go are Xelphatol and Ala Mhigo. The Garleans kinda took a back seat for 2.1+ and those conquered lands aren't going to un-conquer themselves.

As for swimming, I doubt it's going to happen but the Indigo deep would probably be a good place for that. Or pretty much any of the unexplored seas around Eorzea.

But of course this is pure speculation. There are still quite a few places we haven't visited yet.

Am I the only one who watched the post-credits CS?

Seems pretty clear where the next "world" is. Have a gander if you haven't already. And I certainly don't see water there.

That won't be expansion material. That would be HW material.

Hopefully, it includes Dynamis and Nyzul Isle.

Yes! I miss Nyzul Isle from XI <3

but what I would really love is swimming and... vieras... :3

I think we will go to Meracydia

In 3.0 we went west (western highlands and Dravania). I guess in 4.0 we go east (Xelphatol and Gyn Abania). Then in 5.0 O'Ghomoro and Paglth'an and Eorzea would be completed. New continent in 6.0

Thavnaria.

Here's where I think future x-pacs will go:
4.0 - Pagl'than, O'Ghomoro, Xelphatol, Gyr Abania (Ala Mhigo being here) and hopefully the remaining 1.0 areas that haven't been put back in the game yet.
5.0 - South-western Othard
6.0 - Eastern Othard (Doma being here)
7.0 - North-western Othard
8.0 - 10.0 - Ilsabard (With us defeating the Empire)
If the game is still getting updates beyond that, then:
11.0 - Meracydia
12.0+ - New World
Not sure where Thavnair and Sharlayan would fit in though...

To the TC, I would have been surprised if they had NOT already started on the next expansion. Those things take a lot of time to develop.

With different teams handling different aspects of an expansion, I'd be surprised if 4.0 wasn't unofficially started during the time that HW was in development.
