I'm just curious: Do you think SE will gate 4.0 behind Heavensward?

From a story perspective, this makes sense, we need a reason to go where ever SE is going to send us coughcough Ala Mhigo cough. Plus, Heavensward's MSQ isn't as long as ARR's and didn't have as much fluff.

However, from a the perspective of getting newer people into XIV or bringing back older players who left, this might be bad. Both will have to go through ARR and HW's story, which will be bad for those who want to see the new things SE introduces in 4.0.

That are all your thoughts?
