6.0 Story Speculations

[Fenral]

Figuring out lore is not really my thing, but I enjoy reading it. I lurk.

And occasionally (tl, "not often enough") talk people's ears off about Shadowbringers bombshells. Hi Lyth.

I'm a big fan of the Mysidian arc from FFIV. Not just because of the redemption motif, but because you start out as an outcast, and have to slowly win everyone over to your side. I really enjoyed the end of ARR/early Heavensward for similar reasons. Hopefully the Sharlayan children don't turn us into frogs or flying pigs.

The twins can turn me into anything as long as the instance is fun. G'raha was supposed to turn us into a frog to get into the Crystal Tower, but we didn't even have swimming controls at that point. Such a missed opportunity.

Right now, the thing that has me the most excited is Pandaemonium and that final dungeon vibe that it seems to have going on. I hope they flesh it out as an instance (no pun intended), make it explorable, and recreate some of that classic Final Fantasy last dungeon feel. Maybe throw in a twinkling final save point marker just outside of the P12 arena.

I know trash pulls and long corridors aren't very e-sports, but I miss those so badly from Coil. What we have now aren't even raids, just a boss rush. Eden had no feeling of scale.

We get another train fight in XIV? :O!? Yes please! I musta snoozed through part of fanfest or somethin'

One of the dungeon reveals teased using a train to move between areas. I think crashing it is a pretty safe bet.
