What happened to SB (story)?

Not to derail everything, but I've seen that quote before, and it was in regards to 1.0, *not* Stormblood.

Source that's the FF14 1.0 Release.
the guy should have kept his stock... it's worth about twice as much now.

long story short... as i mentioned in another thread... I would like to see the story moving more towards gods and mystical realm. As strong as the empire is, nation vs nation war shouldn't concern the warrior of light. that's why I kinda like HW's story better... but hey.. my friend loves SB story over HW.

@Furiea. That's the right source. I didn't post it because I'm not used to this forum (you can tell this my first post here, right?) and didn't want to post a link since some forums discourage them. I adjusted my post to be more accurate, thankfully the article wasn't the point or all this would have been pointless. I thanked Ilenya for the info.

And thank you for helping me out so much. No idea if I'll start a new thread any time soon, but I'll try to remember your advice if I do.

The story is moving in that direction though. The various wars that the WoL is getting involved with are ultimately all the result of the Ascians who appear to have very direct influence in Garlemald. If we wish to stop the Ascians and Zodiark we need to stop Garelemald first, and to stop Garlemald we needed to liberate Ala Mhigo and Doma. Yoshi has already told us that the current story arc has two expansions remaining in it, which makes it easy to see that 5.0 is the war against Garlemald and 6.0 is the battle against Zodiark.

This isn't the sort of MMO where the devs just pick a random theme for an expansion. The story, its associated geographical locations and its villains are all pre-planned years ahead. The 4.X patch cycle has a lot of potential for new mystical elements as well due to the reveal of what the Echo is truly capable of. The WoL is going to be trying to learn how to command primals now...
