Heavensward is a very fun expansion for me story wise. I think you're going to have a great time, esp after getting through the remainder of 2.X!

I wish they would revisit 2.X but it seems like their answer was just the story potion. It's lazy, but at the same time, I don't want them to take time away from 4.X either just to do so.

I am also very excited for DQ11

Enjoy Heavensward!! ^.^
