Next Expansion: I want to go to Lucis!

[Kazrah]

He's suggested it could be 5.0 before (a couple expansions away, said while we were still in HW) and that Doomtrain could be there. Nothing solid/official and everything subject to change of course; they still want to surprise us.

Old Sharlayan and Thavnair aren't big. They are tiny compared to Othard which is supposed to be a continent. Ilsabard, the third of the three great continents and where Garlemald is located, is the last really major landmass we have in this part of the world. They could do all three in one expansion (1 zone thavnair, 1 zone sharlayan, 4 zones ilsabard)

Pretty sure Yoshi has at least once mentioned 6.0 for Garlemald.

Also despite the two island nations not being that big (although Thavnair is actually pretty big), there's still a lot more islands to look into. Pretty sure that's one of the real reasons why we got swimming: to expand content potential to more island areas.

With a quick search the closest I can find to that is "the campaign against the Garleans may last until 6.0" which isn't exactly the same. There's a lot of distortion of information with people interpreting comments in different ways, translating foreign interviews different ways, and retelling the story different ways "I heard this news from my linkshell". So I try to separate fact from fiction. I think we will touch on Ilsabard next expansion, but nothing is certain until another fan fest reveal in the future.

They could certainly do an expansion solely on smaller islands, which would give them some room to remake some old zones at the same time with flying added. But they could do a big continent expansion and still have a lot left over for the future too (The New World, Meracydia and whatever else is out there beyond the borders of the current map)
