Flying, Swimming, Whats next?

I won't expect anything, except PERHAPS aerial and underwater combat, but I think it'd be pretty cool if climbing/scaling/vaulting over obstacles became a thing... but that's admittedly highly unlikely.

Hopefully they use the time they spend making these traveling systems on fixing glamour and making them fit the race better like in 1.0 and making a real glamour book.

Mounted combat.

Or as someone said we time travel, but to 8bit graphics zones!

I really don't want to see time travel occur in FFXIV as FFXI showed how that usually resulted in unimaginative zone design (instead of creating wholly new zones, existing zones are simply redressed and added as 'new zones in the past').

Another issue with time travel was again shown by FFXI's time travel scenario which had the issue of retconning everything in the story that came before it so I would rather not touch that narrative can of worms again (and I say that as a fan of time travel as a sub-genre in science fiction).

Also for those hoping for time travel as an excuse to "travel back to 1.0 zones'", that is an impossibility - 1.0 is gone forever including it's awful zone structure. If a hypothetical time travel scenario was added to FFXIV, it's pretty much guaranteed to just feature existing ARR zones but in the past, not how that zone was originally shown in 1.0 (as 1.0 used a totally different client, engine and sever structure to ARR). So again I'm going to say that 1.0 is gone and is never coming back.

Probably going to different shards like the world the Warriors of Darkness were from. I'm fully expecting it in a future expansion even if it's not exactly that particular world.

I'm just glad we got swimming.

The world felt so weirdly closed off and boxed in when every body of water had an invisible wall around it.

Anything else, I just hope it's fun and immersive.

I am going to say, Climbing.

It was implemented decently enough in EQ2 like 6 years ago or longer?? God how time flies in mmos....
