Yoshida mentioned something in his convo (after visting event room) ...

[Sapphic]

He also says something about the new xpac being underwater, underground or on the moon. Fingers crossed for underwater!

An underground lake on the moon!

I think you read to much into it. red and blue could me died colors.

they have said, never again they will release 3 jobs at the same time, then for the next expansion it will be 2 jobs max. Samurai will probably dps, like said by yoshida a few month ago, since add a fourth tank is not really needed.
for red mage it can be either a healer or a dps, maybe it will be the first hybrid jobs yoshida was talking about last years.

about the red or blue, is more about which magical jobs and in which order, don't hope to see 2 magical jobs at the same time since they don't have tons of magical jobs left.

Actually next primal is King Thordan EX.

This. "Last boss extreme".

Some people on Reddit were proposing the idea of blue mage as a tank, since their shtick is getting hit by things to learn from them.

Yoshida's said in the past that he'd like to add a melee caster, which is almost certainly what red mage will be.

The moon? Viera confirmed?

The moon? Viera confirmed?

Viera were considered for Heavensward, but ended up cut because they decided that they looked too much like humans.

That was back when au ra were a lot more draconic/demonic.

I'm looking forward to Blue Mage.

As for settings for the next expansion, I'm certain it will be on the moon due to a certain CS in 2.0. But Yoshi did say he wanted to do flying and swimming, and ended up going with flying first. I'm also really hoping they do an Underworld setting like they had in FFIV.

[Shippuu]

No, he was just using old GLD animations from 1.0.

Wrong. There was no 1.0 GLA skill that was anything like what Ilberd did, and later we find out the name of the skill is Sanguine Blade which has been a skill in FFXI that Paladins, Warriors, Dark Knights, Red Mages, Blue Mages, and Rune Fencers could use naturally.

Although some people will say this design is better I would have to disagree. Here AuRa look like mobs out of a dungeon and nothing more. They simply wouldn't fit as a playable race like that. As for Viera well I don't like them except if they make them really different than Miqote. I know some people will say that AuRa are like Miqote with scales but I don't agree. They have some design features that differentiate them from Miqote. You can really tell from far who is AuRa and who is not. If Viera can be really different then it's ok. I personally don't want more races in game. We have enough now and AuRa are still not blended well in game's storyline and Lore. Yoshi's office room clearly mentioned Doomtrain. I think that's the next new Primal and not Thordan EX. Thordan EX will come but it's not counting as a new primal.
