ENDWALKER SPOILERS: Story and side story content going forward

[Steelbreaker25]

I'd like to cover some of the upcoming stories and side stories we'll (probably) be getting come the future patches.

Raid: Pandaemonium

It seems the teaser implied that Pandemonium is a being, and not a location. It will be interesting to see of Lahabrea is our main associate for the story. Hopefully it fleshes him out more.

Alliance Raid: Myths of the Realm

Emet-Selch teased it when he mentioned that we didn't even know who they really are. Seeing as he was on the Convocation, I think the implication is that the Twelve aren't just the Convocation misremembered through the ages, otherwise why would he tease it as a mystery?

Trials: No spoilers here, but it's looking like 6.1 will have the EX version of the final boss, so the side story trial should start on 6.2. However, seeing as they're changing how the MSQ is normally done, I wonder if they'll move an epic "story trial" fight to 6.5 or not, or even make the side content all of the future trials. Personally, I'm hoping for the Elemental Archfiends from FF4, but that does bring to question as to what they may be.

Relic weapons: Chances are we'll have another set of instanced zones, so it'll be interesting to see where we're going this time.

Beast tribes: We know two tribes (Loporrits and Matanga), but the third is anyone's guess. I'm betting the Matanga quests will feature the more aggressive tribe we see in the Azim Steppe.

Crafter/gatherer endgame: No clue, but I wonder if this will crossover with the traditional city rebuild content again, and if they're going to do a new version of the Ishgard Restoration or go somewhere new.

Island Sanctuary: Probably won't have a whole lot of story to it, but it will still be interesting to see.

MSQ: Obviously, we've known the MSQ will be going in a new direction.

I'm curious to see if it becomes more anthology like, with us exploring some of the mysteries Emet-Selch teased us with.

[Fenral]

Something involving G'raha, Corvos, and the Allagan Eye is extremely likely. Assuming they aren't going to have him do a sudden 180 turn and settle down as a nunh to pass on the family legacy (which would be gross and weird), it will probably involve the oft-referenced expiration date on his Allagan superpowers, which would better tie into the story's larger theme of finding a new purpose once one has finished.

[JeanneOrnitier]

Corvos is going to feature somewhere somehow because it was being mentioned constantly throughout the MSQ, and even got some mentions in the reaper quests too. Could be trials, could be relic weapons, but it will be in something.

Post credits scene

our main ally in Pandemonium looks like it's going to be Elidibus, since past-in-Elpis Elidibus was talking about it. As my favorite Ascian, that really excites me. But hopefully Lahabrea is present too, he needs the characterization.

I really hope the Twelve raids finally reveal what Midgardsormr was guarding.

[Garnix]

I think Corvos will be the place where we get the relic.

Regarding the beast tribes, I would honestly be surprised if either the Eas and/or Omicrons aren't one of them. Actually, after going through the end-game dungeons, I would bet on the Omicrons.
I would however be surprised if we get the Loporitts. They are already incredibly relevant to the story compared to any other tribe to be honest...

For the trials, before launch I was hoping for the 4 Fiends. Now?....I'd rather have...I don't know...3 of the Ascians (if they are not in the raid already).
There are still many of them which we did not deal with and which could actually still be around. But I hope they won't play a role in the MSQ going forward...

Regarding crafting, well...One could say Garlemald restoration, but that would require MSQ completion.(with Alphi and Ali saying they are going to help putting Garlemald back on its feet). So that would be a better fit in 7.0 I guess. So...I don't know...Maybe there won't be an end-game for them this time...

[Nekaru_Infitima]

I'd also bet on the Omicrons as beast tribe, it'd make sense with the side quest where the Loporrit tells that one omicron to open a cafe and learn about other races. We got the Ghordons or whatever there, but no other races, a beast tribe quest to add more races seems likely, otherwise that was left really open.

If we take the Ishgard Restoration as any sort of precedent, we rebuilt part of a city that was 2 expansions behind the then-current expansion, we could be moving onto something related to Stormblood. Seeing as we already rebuilt Doma, perhaps some kind of Ala Mhigo-related content.

Don't give me hope.

I could have sworn they mentioned Garlemald rebuilding at some point in one of the live letters.

I noticed this same thing and thought it might be where our expansion Extreme Trials come from in 5.2 and beyond. They're definitely going to be adding more civilizations; it doesn't make sense for the menu to only include the one race unless they plan to add more examples.

M'naago custom delivery is sort of "Ala Mhigo Restoration" story.
