7.0 speculation, but not about the story

Do you have any ideas?

Well, I for one would love for them to get past the limitations of Playstsation, and have the world areas more open, and have fewer instances esp in older zones ie ARR/HW content. I would enjoy being able to fly much higher, so the fog and clouds are below us. I see a few hints that they are considering some changes like this in the future as in the Endwalker zone that has an area inside a building which forces your mount to not fly.

Basically a "Cataclysm" level zone improvement for the older content.

While I agree that the PS4 is barely running the game, I'd argue that i's a fair trade. Because being on console makes the game MUCH more accessible and the importance of that can't be overstated. We have no data to know exactly how many people play on console, but it's a lot. Specially because there's basically no competition when it comes to MMOs on consoles. I speak from experience: I'd never have played this game if it wasn't on console and I play on console to this day (now on PS5).

Another thing: even PC-exclusive MMOs have to run on a much wider range of hardware than other kinds of games. And I can guarantee you: even if they drop support for PS4 and PS5, the game would still have to run on PS4 and PS5-equivalent hardware.
