Is this entire expansion a bait-and-switch?

[Dualblade]

To be fair, we also punked Thordan so hard he browned himself before dying. We've come a long way since 2.0.

He made the mistake of becoming a Primal. Garleans haven't yet made that mistake.

I hope Yugiri will survive 4.x

Given the reason why she was absent for some time in 3.0 she almost certainly will survive 4.0.

I am guessing that Ala Mhigo will be the reason why the WoL will go to Othard, maybe the Garleans are too strong and they need ally. From what I have read, unlike Ala Mhigo, Doma has not been conquered that long. Maybe WoL and friends think that Doma will help take back Ala Mhigo if Doma is liberated?

Personaly, I am just happy that Yugiri (who has been absent untill 3.5) will finaly get some screentime, if we are lucky they will give her the same treatment like Estinien and Ysayle.

I hope Yugiri will survive 4.x

Besides, have you seen Gyr Abania? I don't think it'd be large enough to have an expansion's worth of content.

Pretty much this. Look at the Eorzean Map. That area is like 1/4 the size or less of the area used for HW. I mean we could have everything crammed into 4 zones that look exactly the same I guess but I dont think it would be in their best interest.

Then you end up disappointed by your own expectations. Nobody to blame but yourself. Sorry if you WANT to be disappointed then you can be.

I'll be sure never to have expectations based on advertising material ever again.

Oh wait, no that's silly, just like your point.

Yet here I am happy as a clam that I didn't assume a whole expansions worth of content from 2/3's of a teaser reveal. That would be silly, just like your point.

Honestly I'm worried Othard and Ala Mhigo being in the same expansion is too much, that neither will get the full devotion to story they deserve. I won't lie though, I had absolutely -0- interest in Ala Mhigo and a passing interest in Doma, so this at least gives me a little something to look forward to besides 5.0.

This is honestly my main point. I want them to do full justice to Ala Mhigo and Othard both. If they want to put both in, and give us a massive, epic story, that's fine; but they had better not give short shrift to either, and I worry that they might end up doing this to Ala Mhigo.

I was hoping for things other than SAM/RDM and will continue on with MCH through the expansion. Nice try, Bra.

idk I like the inclusion of Othard into the mix, if anything it makes me excited about the story more since its not just a straight push. Like some have said we will prolly get to find out exactly how much stronger the Garleans are during all of this. This also makes me alot more interested in exactly how well the Garleans are with their indoctrination of the places they do conquer. For all we know the people that resist Garlean rule are considerably less than those that have come to embrace it! =O As the players we just know "Garlean is bad mmm'kay!" but that doesn't mean those under their rule after x amount of years share in that belief anymore.

[Fawkes]

I assume it'll alternate so we have one patch doing Ala Mihgo stuff and the next doing Doma stuff. Kinda like how Heavensward's MSQ sometimes sent us back to Ul'dah to break people out of jail and whatnot, except not just sending us back to old areas.

Look, this game is great. We all agree or we wouldn't be here. These community based worries and fears cropped up before and everytime Yoshi takes care of us. This is a good game with a great story. How about this once instead of "worrying" about it why don't we trust the man to entertain us like he always does.

Honestly its a little self absorbed to think that just because we can think of how it could be done that it can't. If we had all the answers we would have jobs as DEVs. Let's just wait for all the info before we do like this community loves so much to do and jumps to the wrong conclusions because a videogame made us panic.
