Ideas for Ala Mhigo (4.0 Expansion Pack)

[Brightshadow]

So, as we know Square Enix has already started work on the fourth expansion and the most likely destination is Ala Mhigo since its still early in development I think we should share our ideas with the developers so please share .

Here are some ideas I had:

1.) New Regions
A.) Gyn Abania (2 Areas) (1 City State)
Terrain: Grassy Plains/Timberlands
-(Area One) In the center of Gyn Abania is a huge Grassy Plain similar to coerthas 1.0 or the calm lands from FFX. Its a huge piece of land that connects to the timberlands, and the garlean empire which is restricted by mountains and a giant iron gate.
-(Area Two) The timberlands are a open space similar to the grassy plains but with trees and plant life all around. this land connects to Xelphtol which is a mountain range of canyons and such, and the black shroud which has portions of the timberland burnt down.

B.) Xelphatol (2 Area)
Terrain: Mountain, Canyons, Grassy Slopes with some snow
-(Area One) Very narrow spaces around the zone similar tahrongi canyon, attohwa chasm from FF11, near the Gridania entrance there is some plant life similar to Fort Karugo-Narugo; however very limited plant life. (Connected to Ala Mhigo, and Gridania)
-(Area Two) Very similar to Grauberg from FFXI requires 3.0 expansion to enter Ishgard. (Connected to Ishgard and Area one)

C.) Paglth'an (1 Area)
Terrain: Wasteland/Desert
-Somewhat similar to Thanalan but with wastelands, and more desert features.
-Connected to Thanalan

D.) O'Ghomoro (1 Area)
Terrain: Volcano/Burning Slopes
-Very similar to ff11 ifrit's cauldron and mount zhayolm.
-Connected to Noscea

2.) New Jobs
A.) Red Mage (Role: DPS Caster)
-Uses gunblades
-Has stance (toggle) to switch between frontline and range
-Uses 4 elements (Fire,Ice,Wind,Water)
-Has a "cure" and some utility spells like refresh,haste,temper.

B.) Samurai (Role: DPS Melee)
-uses "casted" melee attacks like brd and mch but very powerful. Little to no party utility so one of the top if not the best DPS most of the utility is to protect against attacks like third eye from FFXI, or to increase their own dps.

3.) New Features
-Campaign: A world conquest system similar to the one used in FFXI; however, campaign only happen in one area every hour, and if too little people show up npc take their place. Campaigns are region battles where the garleans battle against the city-states for control of that region. Depending on the participation of the players the grand company that does the most contribution gets control of the region, if the garleans win multiple times they get control of the region making the zone more dangerous for players by adding garleans soldiers around the zone. and preventing certain nearby villages and special npcs from selling region specific items. (The city-state that owns the region gets special discounts from certain npcs, and special items from their grand company npcs.) (Region control tallies take place every Tuesday)
-All the zones of eorzea participates in Campaign and its a key feature of the push into the liberation of Ala Mhigo. Campaigns are like special fates that take place in the villages/camps in areas. And they have the fate icon but with a different color (perhaps orange?) since these are a worldwide feature they appear in the world-map and messages are given to players even hour when they begin. (Please add a filter)

3.) Liberation of Ala Mhigo
Unlike the 2.5 ending that had us fight against a dragon in the bridge of Ishgard, I think that the final push of to free Ala Mhigo should require the (4.0) expansion pack and it should feature 3 separate main story scenario raids which has us fight the garlean army within the timberlands, grassy plains, and Ala Mhigo. Of course with this change revamp the Main Scenario roulette(Category) to make it worthwhile. In these 3 main story scenarios you would get a small preview of the areas, but mostly cutscenes to not show you the whole zone in the roulettes.
