So yuh, we shall all be clueless together until Yoshida reveals his shirt come Fanfest XD (The ''red mage'' shirt was the Scarlet Witch one iirc)

That wasn't so much of a hint as in a tongue-in-cheek reference to fan speculation and "demand"

And as for the building blocks for the next expansion, so far SB is following the same pattern as ARR and HW. .0 is the base story and .1 adds something to it, while being its own thing to be continued later. .2 and .3 are continuations of the .0 story and for a good amount draw a conclusion to that perticular story. .4 brings in new elements and .5 expands upon them with both segwaying into the next expansions .0 story. This is barring the 1.X version since it didn't go up to .5 and I never played it.

As an example for the patches:
2.0 initial Garlean storyline regarding the Scions and Primals
2.1 Introduces the concept of a Primal in a new light
2.2 and 2.3 touches more on the Primal threat with known Primals and what they are and do.
2.4 Reintroduced the questioning in the concept of Primals with the introduction of Shiva, as well as build the Ishgardian foundation
2.5 Brings about more info regarding Ishgard and the Dragonsong War, and opens the path to Ishgard.

3.0 Initial Heavensward syory that begins with the Dragonsong War and ends wirh Ishgards corruption.
3.1 Expands upon the concept of Hydaelyn and her shards, and how the affect one another.
3.2 and 3.3 Draw an end to the Dragonsong War
3.4 Expand on Hydaelyn's shards and how they affect us and draw Ala Mhigo into the limelight.
3.5 Prepares us to go to Ala Mhigo

4.0 The liberation of both Ala Mhigo and Doma
4.1A continuation of Ala Mhiga's liberation exploring its aftermath and reform
4.2 and 4.3 exploring the aftermath of Doma's liberation
4.4 Back to Ala Mhigo gor stuff, lol
