Ideas for a new expansion

[odie]

I should probably add, there is already an existing civilisation and city under the sea as that is were the majority of the Sahagin live. Though I wouldn't see them as being playable, I would be up for learning more about Sahagin culture, social structure and actually seeing what a Sahagin city looks like.

However I think its safe to say we most likely will be exploring something pre-existing in lore for the time being rather than going off left field.

But the ocean content most likely already exists in lore. They wanted to know before if players wanted to take to the skies or the sea for the 3.0 expansion. Sky won. So we got Heavensward. It could have easily gone the other way. SE has most of the content planned long ahead of time. So the ocean expansion is probably already written up and developed on.

Seriously ? If it's true I will be so happy

What I'd love to see is better dungeons come out of it. We have this whole entire sky expansion pack, and little to do with flight in any of the dungeons (unless hitting a launch pad to fling you to another floating platform satisfies you completely).

I'd love a water dungeon (all games gotta have them right?) where you do much of your fighting on foot, but maybe activate switches that fill the room/chamber with water and you swim to get to the other rooms. I imagine the current flight controls we have for Heavensward wouldn't be all that different from swim controls.

What about a dungeon based on the first FF ? With that theme

There was nothing in the video, but i love the music. Make it happen.

It's the song played in the water temple (the Sunken Shrine) in FFI (it's called Chaos Temple because it's also played inside the first dungeon)

-Siren (FFVI/FFVIII)

Siren is already in the game as the final boss of Pharos Sirius NM, so that kind of won't be happening (the same reason why Diabolos and Fenrir won't be summons either as they too are just bosses fought). You also see it earlier during the main scenario at the Ship Graveyard on the Isles of Umbra where it keeps sending undead to attack you (a loose reference Siren's appearance in FFV.). So yeah I don't see Siren appearing as a Primal for this reason.

-Anima (FFX) (since we have to swim in a temple to get her, yes I know, weird idea)

Anima in FFXIV is actually a term used to describe a certain form of aetheric energy/manipulation and not a Primal - it was originally the 'currency' for teleporting in version 1.0, but has been replaced by paying in gil. In this case, anima is the body's tolerance to teleporting, using up all your anima means you cannot physically teleport anymore. And now it's connected to the new anima weapons quest so that seems to be the final nail in the coffin of ever seeing an actual Primal named it - it would just confuse players too much.

-Famfrit (FFXII)

Famfrit was meant to be a loose reference to the Cloud of Darkness from FFIII in FFXII and, since she is already in FFXIV, it makes Famfrit kind of redundant.

Either way, the general consensus is that the next expansion would probably be going eastwards and will feature the last remaining unexplored regions of Eorzea, namely Gyr Arbania and Xephlatol, where the city of Ala Mhigo is, as a possible prelude to sometime in the future heading across to Ilsabard and Othard and ultimately Garlemald itself. Although there has been mention of swimming stated in the past, nothing is known for certain, and is not really a feature I'm too keen on seeing. But then my opinions are usually not popular so I think I'll shut up now.

Mermaids beastribe, I support this.

Thanks Square Enix to fulfill my wishes, I greatly appreciate it, now for 5.0 I want more facial features

I think will be unprovable having Syldra (It is a CE mount for Stormblood), Siren (It is a race) and Anima (it is a little fairy like spirit). Otherwise, Mateus and Famfrit sounds good.
