2.3?

[stebo104]

I know 2.2 is still fairly new, but can we at least get some hints as to what may be in patch 2.3?

Just wait a month, give or take (it's usually when it's close to release that we get some trailer or info about such).
Or, you could try asking around about the "Duty Commenced" event for some hints.

E3 is in early June. Most likely a ton of info will be released then I would think.

You can probably expect the following:

- Frontlines (PvP Battlegrounds)*
- Gold Saucer*
- Revamp of materia system*
- Ramuh + probably an extreme version
- More storyline (focused around Gridania this time)
- 2 new hard mode dungeons, 1 completely new dungeon
- New Crystal Tower (probably drops i100 gear)
- More Zodiac quests
- Other random stuff

* Were planned for 2.3 but not confirmed yet

It would be nice to go into 2.3 and have access to Ishgard. Break down the Gates of Judgement yes?

2.5 month is the timeframe for each new Major update assuming there are no issues to hold it back like what happened to 2.1

We will get 1st expansion within a timeframe of 2 years since 2.0 was released so around 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 is when 1st expansion should begin appearing to be launched.

Hopefully we'll get a resolution to the whole Ascian thing before the release of the expansion (at least, I *really* hope so; the Ascians are starting to tick me off).

That is a solid realistic list.

Possibly will see some expansion of the Hildebrand quests.
Probably some sort of housing improvement. (Personal Housing likely not coming yet) Maybe chocho breeding, or something like that.

I was in the belief that Shiva and Ramuh were meant to be added in 2.3, with their respective hard/extreme versions. Coulda sworn they said that fairly early on... like in one of the live letter's for 2.1 i think. Would't be too far fetched though as:

2.1 - Ultima HM, Garuda EX, Titan EX, Ifrit EX, King Mog HM.
2.2 - King Mog EX, Leviathan HM, Leviathan EX

So 4 new primal fights would not be out of the question, especially on a CT patch. (although, to be fair CT was practically done before release, giving them more time to work on primals etc for 2.1)

Sadly I doubt that will happen because FF14 Storyline has set the Ascians as the Main Antagonists of the game manipulating the world from behind the scenes so they can bring back their god.

Heck even if Bahamut is resurrected (Which the Coil Storyline is building up to) and we defeat Bahamut (Most likely being a Main Scenario Boss Fight while HM and EX Mode are from Ballad Trials) most likely the Ascians already found the other Elder Primals and Primals located in the other Continents so they can use them to progress their plans.

Heck the Ascians may even be behind the entire part of Garlean Empire becoming the strongest City-states and their Global Conquests. Manipulating the Garlean Empire from behind the scenes the entire time.

That is a solid realistic list.

Possibly will see some expansion of the Hildebrand quests.

Realistic but it will depened on how they want to handle 2.3 storyline.

2.2 story left a small hint into a future 2.X storyline being "Revolution" in Ul'dah but if you had Japanese audio on then the word "Revolution" is actually "War" in the JP dialogue version meaning that "War" is about to happen in Ul'dah.

As of now it seems 2.3 may focus on this "War" in Ul'dah which was bound to happen eventually anyways if you paid attention to all the lore and story happening around Ul'dah's condition in 2.X era.

in 2.1 we obtain Gridania's support to expand on Revenant Toll and in 2.2 we obtained Limsa Lominsa support to expand on Revenant Toll.

2.3 may involve use obtaining Ul'dah's support to expand Revenant Toll.
