Thread: *SPOILERS!* A roadmap from 3.1 to 4.0

Watch the original e3 ffxiv video, shows how when midgardsormr took down the garlean flagship the resulting crash into silvertear let the lifestream loose upon the land and actually showed primal figures form and spread like dragonballs. I could easily see each msq of 3.xx ending with a new job of darkness, up to 5.

What are y'all's thoughts on the future?

Shaylaran, thanavir, Doma are also on the map.

Haurch is dead and buried. I sincerely doubt they would invalidate the emotional impact of that scene by bringing him back "just because".

As is, his importance is directly related to his death.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ysayle comes back. Isn't the echo what technically allows us to respawn?

There's also a self running proto weapon in the area, ages of sorta intact Allagan tech, records, preserved experements, dragon and artificial life research, Aeon/Primals/Demi-god research, an early production version of a beast tribe. All around a possibly bigger ship structure in the middle. If the Emperor is on that ship he's going to want all the info and tech that place has to offer and turn it into a floating Garlian Millitarry Research hub/port/base. If their tech is reversed engineered from Allagan relics that place is an forgotten gold mine. Considering we did most of the work clearing out and through the place to stop the holy see. They can easily take their time and upgrade their ship and troops.

I don't want to see the 2.0 story beats repeated but dealing with Garlemald AND the Dravanian Horde? Hm...

The Ilberd vs Raubahn stuff at the end of 2.55 and crossing over into 3.0 was really pushing the Ala'Mhigo point. If nothing else I think Raubahn has been guilt tripped enough to want to liberate his homeland now, and the reunification of the Eorzean Alliance means they finally have the means to do it. I expect to see Ilberd return again to drive that point home at some point. Ala'Mhigo is also the obvious first step in a counter attack against Garlemald. I feel these are things most likely to be reserved for 4.0 though.

It looks to me like we have three major looming threats: the Warring Triad, the Garlean incursion on Azys Lla and the return of Nidhogg. The Warrior of Darkness also has a role to play somewhere but we can only speculate on that for now. The real question at this point is which is the bigger threat? Personally I feel it's the Warring Triad, though I expect the story will focus more on Nidhogg because dragons.
