Thread: Another 4.0 speculation thread

I feel like in the next expansion, we shouldn't just go to one place. I feel like it should involve many places. If they just give us a new city state per expansion, and release the same Mor Dohna type formula again and again, I would get bored of the game.

I agree. In addition to expanding the continent a bit, I hope they add entire new zones to Uldah, Gridania, and La Nocea. I would even love to see the existing zones in those areas expanded upon with new high level content, and the ability to fly or swim, instead of only creating a brand new city state thing and leave the older zones in the dust. It might be nice to new "flying" zones above Uldah and rest, where flying straight down will transfer you to the old zone instead of hitting an invisible wall like Sea of Clouds.

Imagine chilling in the Drowning Wench, heading outside and mounting your Griffon, and flying straight to the Floating City of Nym with nary a loading screen in sight! 4.0 could be an opportunity for the dev team to really remake the early zones how they want to, instead of what they were forced to do because of the 1.0 design and server limitations.

I would like that, too. But I think for a while at least we're gonna be moving onward, not just to the eastern reaches of Eorzea but even beyond that. Comments at PAX strongly suggest we will cross the land bridge to the continent of Ilsabard in the future. But some day when they get time, yes it would be very nice to see the original zones broadened and updated.

Most people seem to agree we are going to Ala Mhigo (SP?) next expansion which, I believe, is supposed to be off the East Shroud and that way, so Gridania could be a starting point for a while till we manage to liberate it.

Edit: fixed for brain - post - thought interaction not working with fingers.

My guess:

Ala Mihgo -> the Sandsea -> [Sea of Jade] -> the Westersand -> Rabanastre, oh wait...

Ala Mhigo + Viera? Please oh please!

To lead us to Ala Mhigo we'll probably have patch 3.4 work out the last bit of kinks in Ishgard and transfer over to Ul'Dah. 3.5 will be namely about Ul'dah, Gridania and I can see the final trial being us inside the Castrum there for a showdown with the new Legatus who I forget his name.

I truely hope that when we reach Ala Mhigo we reclaim it fairly quickly only to have the Garleans go full doma on it, reducing it to ashes. If we remove the city we have a chance to see whats beneath it, to see where ultima weapon was stored.
