8.0 story wish

[Griss]

Since dawn trail had inspirations from ff9, I hope 8.0 has major inspiration from ffx.


I want us to be sucked into a shard and be on our own, maybe because Cid was doing some experiments of the major story maguffin of 7.0. I want us to be a Tidus analogue. we get to meet a newish cast of character all while we are fighting against that shards version of Azem and their comrades. A shard of Azem who thinks that they have all the answers and has managed to create a kind of cult around their fragment of our communal soul.

I would love it if major story beets were punctuated with mean while in the first. the Scions and other character reacting to and trying to solve the problem that the warrior of light has vanished from the world and all known realities.


I mean It seems like a cool idea, and if nothing else ffx brought us bitzball. a minigame that I hated, but I know a lot of you loved.

Only problem is it's a bit immersion breaking teleporting back to the main city mid expansion.

Though the concept is really cool I would love a story like that, gives the scions something to do but they wouldn't really be center stage (I hope)

Dalmasca a Final Fantasy Tactics/FF12-inspired Expansion. (I know we got the raid and Bozja)

Bring Yasumi Matsuno on board, spare no expense.

I want a story that involves the rebuilding of Garlemald but embers of war still burn in the hearts wronged by the Empire.
I want Gaius front and center. Alphinaud and Alisae front center. Cid. Nero. Jullus.

Maybe they could take a book out of FFX's writing and write better characters while they're at it.

[Hallarem]

I don't want them to focus on spreading memberberries, I want them to focus on making a good solid story with interesting characters with interesting motivations and an interesting world, that is believable and not just a vessel for their "theme" of the expansion.

I will be surprised if we get to travel with a new cast, I doubt they will take a risk like that. But I am hopeful we get an addition to our adventuring crew picked up from patch 7.2, you know who I mean.

A lot of Final Fantasies have a core love story in the middle of them, maybe it's time for 14 to try an expansion with that too, if they are so intent on honoring and showcasing old Final Fantasies.

I hope the Dimensional Key turns out to not be what we think it is, and it turns out to be Auracite, but it gets stolen in the lead up to 8.0. And so we have to get it back, and our adventure send us back to Dalmasca where we defeated Ultima The High Seraph, and back into the Aetherial Sea where we defeated Athena where we learn that it is being mined for energy, and the mining operation is being carried out from Meracydia.

[Musashidon]

i doubt we will have another sucked to another world against our will thing since it already was shadowbringers.

8.0 is most likely going to be a void/9th reflection expansion i would even say there is a high chance it will turn into us just using our new world fuser to fix all the broken worlds by connecting them all and re-adding all the missing element types to the missing worlds to fix them.

Give ff15 some love pls ;_;
I rrally want an expansion based on it since it's my favorite FF.

Okay that aside though, I agree with Halllarem. I also want ff14 to go back to do something original. Yes, they're always referencing older FF games, I am aware of that. But at least they way it was done before was more subtle. Unlike in DT where they smack "FF9! YOU REMEMBER YET?!" in our face.

All good references have been used up anyway.
FF9 is last of of it
Sorry, FF13 and FF15 are just plain garbage for my taste
The 2 FF primary titles that I have not full clear

We could finally goto Meracydia, it's basically the only continent left on the Source we haven't been to.


And if we need other games to draw inspiration from... They could always go beyond Final Fantasy and goto their other franchises...
