More on topic, The Void could have very easily been a new set of maps for a complete expansion. It would need a complete story rewrite tho, recycling Golbez and the 4 fiends as main elements of a whole expansion would have been beyond lazy.

It was a complete waste using it as the 6.x patch series.
I kinda disagree that a whole expansion can take place in the Void. There are stuff out there, indeed, as we have seen... but unless they introduce something totally unknown by 'unreliable narrators' (eg. a whole portion of the 13th that survived somehow in a huge floating continent), I can't see how it would host an entirety of six zones without being too monotone.

I do see great potential for a last zone, though, because it would have a similar effect to Ultima Thule, which was a very successful last zone in my book.

But yeah, I agree that the Golbez + Fiends wouldn't do. That whole storyline - even with Zero - could have been told in a Trials series sidequest, though.
