Guess the gimmick of 5.0

Well, when we have at least something solid on the expansion, it's gonna be easier to guess.

We still got a year left of Stormblood, and at least 2 major updates with Story, maybe they'll pull a Heavensward and conclude what little Garlemald stuff is going on in 3.5 and in 3.6 start setting up something completely different.

Ala Mhigo didn't really become a big thing until after Nidhogg and the Warriors of Darkness were done.

Personally, I'd just like to see swimming expanded on a bit. SB didn't really utilize it that much, which I guess is good in the sense that it didn't wear out its welcome. But it seems like it could be utilized a bit more without becoming obnoxious...

Same hre. I really like the Ruby Sea and how good the underwater parts look, but there isn't really much to do.

My guess would be them pulling a FFXI wings of the goddess on us, and having us time travel to past forms of zones.

That could be nice. Double the number of zones. Some insane phasing if we do stuff in the past. Would be easier with a single player game, but could be fun.

??? Nearing the end of 4.x? I don’t think so my friend . 5.0 will probably be NEXT summer

Probably, yes. But the Doman storyline has ended and two of the Scions are already en route to Garlemald. We are in the epilogue phase. A nice long epilogue, but an epilogue nonetheless.

Well, when we have at least something solid on the expansion, it's gonna be easier to guess.

LIke at the fan fest? At that point it would be too late.
