I am opposed to clearing out such huge swathes of the world per expansion - I would much rather focus on a given nation one at a time rather than what both Stormblood and now Endwalker have subjected us to.

I do not believe sending us to Meracydia is a wise choice given Dragonflight is still ongoing and FFXIV releasing a dragon themed expansion now would be seen as copying WoW in that regard. Especially after how tiresome this nonsense with Vrtra and his sister has been.

I'm also not convinced going to the New World at this juncture is appropriate either, not with so much of Ilsabard still under cloud cover. I'd be most interested in seeing Corvos and the rest of the continent, which could have easily carried 1-2 expansions itself had so many storylines not been rushed and abruptly ended.
