3.2 "Mystery" boss

[Lone-wolfe-02]

I know you said to ignore the turtle but I can't.... They better make all the mounts flyable if they going to make a turtle be able to fly.

This. A turtle can fly yet my Panther can't seem legit.

he looks so much like fiend from FF6 its crazy :Q me need more ff6 things in this game

[Doki]

Oh look it's a multi-armed enemy model again.

[Gilraen]

...from a game series rife with enemies with multiple arms!... Your point again? No, really, practically every Final Fantasy has enemies with multiple arms. Sometimes a boss, sometimes common field enemies, sometimes both! And it's not even a notion original to Final Fantasy! It's mythological! The thing is, all we know about Fiend is how he looks. That's it. He could fight like Gilgamesh, could fight like Ravana/Phantom Ray. Heck, could fight like a Monk version of any of the prior. Best to just wait and see. On the other hand, he does look imposing.

I may have misread the New Years announcement, but the Heavenward story has its finale in 3.2? Will this warring triad then replace the main scenario onwards to 3.3 and beyond?

Maybe? I don't think we would be jumping from 3.2 to 4.0 so maybe the translation was botched or we're reading it wrong. Yoshida did say that 3.2 would be the climax of the Dragonsong War, so maybe after that story is done, we'll be focusing on the Ascians, the Empire, and the Warrior of Darkness.

Yes, I suspect he means the Nidhogg aspect of the story will approach/reach its conclusion in 3.2/3.3. ARR was structured somewhat in a similar fashion, with the story in 2.4 beginning to push us toward Ishgard and the dragons. In 3.3, we'll probably start to get some idea of where the next expansion is going to be, and in 3.4, the story will start to turn towards it more directly.

Ala Mhigo!

If 2.X, 3.0, and 3.1 has not made it obvious enough then SE may be doing it wrong.
SPOILER

Ala Mhigo being the direction we're going for 4.0 has been slapping our faces for a very long time already with 2.X involving Ilberd willing to do anything to set Ala Mhigo free from the Garleans no matter the cost and his reason for betraying the Scions was to gain support for a campaign to take back Ala Mhigo along with how the Garleans been holding their position in Ala Mhigo and increasing its defenses and in 3.1 about the increase in Ala Mhigo Resistance's activity against the Garleans.

Not to mention in 3.0 the Garlean Empire is now beginning another campaign on Eorzea once again but all we have done is stall their progress due to disabling their new Flagship in Ayzs Lla which they are currently repairing.

[Billeffingmurray]

Probably.

At this point though, it would be nice to have some terestrial only mounts with flight speed so it doesn't feel like I'm moving at a snail's pace in 2.x's no fly zones.

I would even be fine with a sprint button for ground mounts, but something definitely.

That's what I anticipate too, really.
