Think I'll be avoiding this one.
So true...

Really, a little reality check is needed here - SE have already stated in the past that 1), Ivalice and Hydaelyn are not the same worlds, they are completely separate worlds in different universes, and 2) viera are not going to be added to the game (because Yoshi considers them to be too similar to the miqo'te, as being 'humans with animal parts'), nor is there even going to be any new player race added in Stormblood.

The 'return to Ivalice' thing is simply a clever move to build hype and excitement... but it is almost guaranteed to be just like the Crystal Tower and just a single dungeon from an Ivalice game that has been slightly tweaked to be 'natively Hydaelyn' and not the actual Ivalice location (like how the Crystal Tower was not FFIII's actual one but an Allagan structure). Personally I expect it to be something like Midlight's Deep (from FF Tactics) or the Great Crystal (from FFXII). Still, I'm intrigued.
