    Throwing my crap ideas out there.

    Also, spoilers for 3.5 and whatnot.

    PLOT
    • Yda is the lady in red. She leaves the Scions after revealing her true name: Anastasia, rightful heir to the throne of Ala Mhigo.
    • Rhalgr breaks from his moon prism as the shade of the Griffin.
    • Princess Yatsurugi no Yuki appears outside of the Ninja questline in the game's burgeoning attempt to begin foreshadowing for 5.0's Doma/Rabanastre.

    New Areas
    • The isles of Thavnair and Radz-at-Han. Lots of feral, native Adamantoises and onion farms. New Giantsgall weapons and armor. Thavnair also marks the beginning of FFXIV's story eventually leading to Othard.
    • Paglth'an, the great desert east of Thanalan. Before the ruins of Sil'dih was uncovered by the calamity, the ancient city-state could be seen as a mirage to the east. Desert nomads?
    • O'Ghomoro (not to be confused with U'Ghomoro Mines). The ancient homeland of the Kobolds, players could traverse this volcano and learn more about the fate of Nym, the War of the Magi, and the creation of La Noscea. Or it could be relegated to Xelphatol status because reasons.

    Real Things That Are Definitely Going To Happen
    • The Golden Saucer is burned to the ground and is replaced with the Golden Shower, a gay bathhouse.
    • Hildibrand will give birth to a healthy baby girl. She will become the main antagonist of Final Fantasy XIV: Bubby's Magic Pot.
    • Uwe Boll directs a FFXIV movie.

    In one of the letters they stated that 3.0-5.0 are telling the story about the rebuilding of the Eorzean Alliance, of the Six Nations. 3.0 dealt with Ishgard. 4.0 brings us to Ala Mhigo. 5.0 is more likely going to bring us to the Sharlayan Homeland than it would be to take us out of Eorzea. We're not due to start a new set of storylines through expansions until 6.0, which is heavily rumored to be about dealing with Garlemald, and likely to take far longer than 3 expansions.

    My Predictions:

    FFXIV will finally get it's "Jeuno" in the recaptured city of Ala Mihgo, giving us a high level end game hub (tome vendors, market boards, inns etc.) in a multizone city as opposed to Mor Dhona/Idyllshire.

    Samurai will get 1- 3 named Katanas and then go the way of Ninja with elaborately designed blades.

    I also don't believe battle system/skill changes are going to be major and the battle system will more of less function as it is now. I don't see them going NGE when what's in place has more or less worked for them.

    I think,

    To keep the game interesting, RDM as DPS, BLU as tank, and DNC as healer.
    Our inventories will be doubled.
    When going from lvl60 to lvl70 each job gets 5 new skills.
    An elemental wheel will be introduced, and skills of every job adjusted accordingly.
    Finally, maybe an upgrade of the waving of things.

    $60.00 for something like this? Maybe. We'll see.

    Well if don't count the physical or digital CE, then the expansion by itself is only $40 for those that don't get a CE version.

    * We get Red mage with a dps stance and a healing stance - Players say that it sounds great until loads of people queue as healer and then run the whole content as dps.
    * We get samurai with a dps stance and a tanking stance - see above.
    * Blitzball happens because it's a water expansion (....in a desert...) and it would be a nice addition.
    * The wPVP server that was announced happens. Someone will complain that even though they had to agree that they reaaaaaaaaalllly meant to go there that they didn't realize that open world pvp meant open world pvp
    * The halloween haunted house is added to the gold saucer as a gate because square loves us.
    * Housing stays pretty much like it is because now is too late for them to change it. Except for apartments - those expand so every player can get one.
    * We lose more main characters because it adds weight to the story but will eventually get tiresome.
    * We get a small bump in inventory space, but nowhere near enough to handle new glamours and housing stuff. Square promises glamour and housing collections in 5.0.
    * They fix the movement physics of the roe and elezen and give all of us more character creation options. (Please)
    * They add in a Wow-like pet battle system (Please - leave the RTS pet battles thing because some people like it, but this was what I really wanted for pet battles).

    Red Mage will be a pure dps caster with a melee style combo system, it will be 99% ranged with at most half a dozen melee skills & very little support, forum rage will be ridiculous.
    Blue Mage will be announced as a tank, apart from a few job quests it doesn't learn monster abilities permanently, it just picks them up in duties and forgets them once they're used, forum rage will be insane.
    Samurai will not be announced, the SAM files that were found will be revealed to have been short for sample, they were just trolling dataminers by leaving them in, forum rage will incredible.
    Dancer will be nowhere to be seen, SE won't even mention it, in fact Yoshi will do an interview saying he hates Dancer and it will never be in FFXIV, forum rage will be ridiculous.

    From the few I've seen I bet the new AF will all be gender-mixed ffxiv looking gear based on the jobs of FFT.


    Story wise I'm betting the Ala Mhigans in Gyr like the empire and will be mad at us for bringing war to their land.

    With great honour and nods to the Life of Brian for the inspiration;

    Scion : All right, what have the Garleans ever given you in return for their occupation?
    Ala Mhigan #1: Running water..
    Scion : Oh yeah, yeah they gave you that. Yeah. That's true.
    Masked Ala Mhigan: And the sanitation!
    Ala Mhigan #3 : Oh yes... sanitation, Scion, you remember what the city used to be like.
    Scion : All right, I'll grant you that fresh, running water and the sanitation are two things that the Garleans have done...
    Ala Mhigan #2: And the roads...
    Scion : (sharply) Well yes obviously the roads... the roads go without saying. But apart from the fresh water, the sanitation and the roads...
    Another Masked Ala Mhigan : Irrigation...
    Other Masked Ala Mhigans : Medicine... Education... Health...
    Scion : Yes... all right, fair enough...
    Ala Mhigan front and center : And the wine...
    Red nosed Ala Mhigan : Oh yes! True!
    Ruddy faced Ala Mhigan : Yeah. That's something we'd really miss if the Garleans left, Scion.
    Masked Ala Mhigan at Back : Public baths!
    Ala Mhigan #3 : And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now.
    Ruddy faced Ala Mhigan : Yes, they certainly know how to keep order... (general nodding)... let's face it, they're the only ones who could in a place like this.
    (more general murmurs of agreement)
    Scion : All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Garleans done for us?
    Ala Mhigan #1 : Brought peace!
