Thread: After 2.4 ~~~

Personally, after 2.4. Hope they move away from Primals and branch off into newer, original content.

Regards conculsion of the BCoB story, fighting actual Bahamut would just seem odd. 8 versus a city sized Primal would just be wierd. But him also disapating into the aether after shutting down? each of the 3 coils would be, imo, anticliatical also. Just have to wait and see

Ow and he spawns in such a way that bits of him are in every zone hehe so that you actually don't get to much lag hehe... Atleast not Odin level.

After how the 2.3 story ended (I aren't going to spoil it for people who might not be there yet) I can see 2.4 being the introduction of the Ishgard storyline, and Shiva will be linked to that. 2.5 will carry on the Ishgard storyline and after that I can see the first expansion coming, ending the Ishgard storyline, and finally opening the city to PCs.

1. Omega, hopefully he doesn't - Lore wise, it was always designed to seek out and destroy Shinryu, so unless we're getting Shinryu it would make zero sense to introduce Omega into XIV beyond fanservice, since Bahamut is a peanut in comparison to Shinryu, so while Bahamut is this "big bad bad boy" and Omega can stand up against him/kill him, it breaks tradition honestly. Even in XI Shinryu makes an appearance in the same dimension where we never take out Omega, which too was designed to seek out a destroy a certain dragon (not Bahamut.)

2. It'll be a FATE.

3. Alexander would be a bit touchy since..generally he's some kind of protector or holy element, FFXIV has no light/dark/special elements anymore. (Even Astral/Umbral is missing for the most part.)

4. The only Gun stuff we heard of was that Musketeer will be magic based, honestly I hope not - Garleans need something to set them apart and if we're rocking their full technology and advances in warfare..what makes them unique? What makes them this all powerful empire?

5. There's only 2 spots left: Eureka, which was a treasure cave and will probably be a pitiful 4 man dungeon in ARR and the Dark Crystal, which is where the Warriors of Dark and Cloud of Darkness is. So "Full story" would happen at 2.6 or so most likely.

6. We'll never see Siren and Diabolos again, they're 4 man fodder in throwaway instances

So after Shiva it'll get interesting for sure but Fenrir is traditional now and XI pretty much solidfied his place as an important summon, he was HUGELY important to XI's storyline just like Carbuncle was so if he goes back to having almost no importance to anything, it would be a bit weird.

I look forward to the day we knock some sense back into the Archbishops' head. -rubs hands together with glee- Betcha anything they convinced the Holy See that Shiva would solve their dragon problem in one fell swoop only to have it come back and bite them in the butt.
