Season 2 Storyline (another 10 years) [discussion]

[Alleluia]

Could see the "Go THAT far" also referring to permanent damage to the existing Eorzean citystates. Could be doable with phasing tech. I dunno how you'd handle some existing questlines with that, but there are already things outside the time bubble, I suppose. My mind immediately thought Omega's homeworld/creators. Course, I have a feeling the Sound is ultimately extraterrestrial in origin. And we were told by Ishkawa to complete Omega before Endwalker. So my brain is just naturally leaning towards that.

Regarding WoL dying, if the WoL does pull a Tidus, then dies, they could just be temporarily dead and then come back as themselves (pulling another Tidus, really). So, if you combine both of those things, then you could have the character death for story purposes without losing any of the character progression. And maybe add an overlay/levelsync system that knocks us down to level 1 in the next expac? Cus I've had a thoughts lately about 7.0 and how that can work.

I've loved the journey from ARR till now, but once Endwalker is over, I honestly think the devs may have to come up with a soft reset option of some kind that allows new players going forward to jump in in 7.0. The longer this game goes on (especially 10 years more (woohoo!)), the MSQ requirement for entry becomes more and more untenable. Are we really going to see "Here's super cool expansion 9.0! Now play through 8 other storylines to get here!" ??? Even if they remastered ARR somehow (I don't know how without ruining it), it'd still be a LOT. At some point, I think an upcoming expac needs to start again at level 1 and not require the MSQ. Or maybe start at lvl 50 and only require ARR. Somehow. Like, have the divergence point be 5.0, then you can either pursue 5.1's storyline or x.0. Something.

And yeah, if there was ever an opportunity to soft reset something, its the end of a story arc.
