What are your crazy theories after Endwalker

[Rulakir]

Supposedly Yoshi-P has said 7.0 will be a battle of values (like previous expansions), so I predict the protagonists will continue to be clad in impenetrable plot armor while we're pitted against sympathetic antagonists who end up losing everything.

Can I ask you where you've read this from him? An interview?

Yoshida's comments on Endwalker development and story from today's livestream. Update on sales suspension possibly next week. New Game+ coming in 6.1.

Second comment down adds more to the OP.

I like how they have already begun to plan Derplander's next job for 7.0.

7.0 should be the double DPS new job expansion if it follows the expansion new job release pattern so we should expect two new DPS jobs.

A part of me still hope to see a Noctis/Yozora Job since we just had a sample of it from the Venat story instance boss fight. They even have the crystal weapons Armiger summon animation set up despite still being a lower amount of weapon for Venat's weapon of choice. Not to mention the LB3 animation can be considered done due to how Venat uses Legacy of the Lucii for her LB.

The only thing left for SE development team if they ever consider a Noctis/Yozora job is to consider the normal skill attacks and their animation.

I kind of hope it's actually just BRD that he finally resolved to level.

Well the jobs chosen is normally based on the expansion theme.

My best guess is that if it is Bard then it may related to the theme being about stories and adventure.

However, Bard is certainly going to be a difficult job to figure out how to make it match a theme of a Expansion in a bigger picture way.

My personal opinion is that they may make the Derplander theme Job in 7.0 maybe one of the new Jobs for 7.0 since they may design one of the two new jobs to fit the theme of the expansion better.

Wouldn't those just be in the game from the FFXV crossover event? Sounds more like recycling NPC fancy attacks than intending to give them to the player.

If you reach 6.0 there will be a "Noctis" boss fight for a story instance being Venat story instance boss fight. While her 3 stages were just paladin, white mage, and dancer, she uses the Armiger Unleashed animation and her Limit Break is literally Legacy of the Lucii but this was her still holding back her full power since she is just testing WoL.

Noctis in FFXV event is not a representation of what I am talking about as that was a greatly nerfed and readjusted animation to fit into FF14 for the fans.

I am talking about a real Noctis Job that focus on combat style of Armiger Unleashed.

and back to what I said earlier, all they need to do now is create the attack skill animation and skills themselves if SE ever consider a Noctis Job. They have Armiger Unleashed animation and LB3 Legacy of the Lucii ready thanks to the effort they put into animating Venat releasing her Armiger and performing her LB attack during that story instance.

That is what I am talking about. It seems more likely to me that the Noctis attacks were already converted into FFXIV format for that event (and then perhaps left unused if they changed plans) or are easily convertible enough to do it as a reference.

It makes more sense to me that they give Venat some kind of unique ability of her own – unique within FFXIV, that is – than to need a "she can do it, we should get it too" approach. If anything it's showing special things she can do because she's a full Ancient.
