Thread: 5.0 Speculation !

Hey everyone !

I open this thread to start speculating on the next expansion that will come : Shadowbringers !

What, in your opinion, will be added to the game ? What Trial and Raid will we encounter this time ? ...

Don't hesitate to speculate at will ! Remember that we will become (SPOILER) Warrior of Dank Meme... wait... I mean Darkness.

My opinion is :

TRIAL :

As we've see in Heavensward and Stormblood, the one of the main Primal (Ravana and Susanoo) Doesn't appear in the FF Series as summon (Except for Lakshmi and Bismark that are actual summon in Final Fantasy VI (Thanks to Reynhart). But Remember that Primal aren't limited to "Summon" we actually know (Sephirot, Sophia and Zurvan was Boss and not summon in FFVI, but are considered Primal in FFXIV). So if SE follow that path, We might actually encounter something like Anima (FFX) and why not Valefor (FFX) (Believe it or not, I have seen this referenced in a Side quest). But of course, we got many possibilities. Because Viera is coming in 5.0 (Most probably), we might actually go in some Dalmascan land. So encountering Eidolon from FFXII is possible too ! I think about Adrammelech and Shemhazai, They could be Primal for Dalmascan's Beast Tribe.

Warning Spoiler :

Belias, Mateus, Hashmal, Famfrit and Ultima, are already defeated. So It's not possible to encounter them again.

24-man Raid :

So now, a big big subject. We got Crystal Tower (Lvl50), Diabolos Hystory (Lvl60), and Dalmascan Location (Lvl70).

Aside the Crystal Tower, we are always far away from the actual map we can play. Which means, Where will we go next time ? Dalmasca/Ivalice and their history are part of FFXIV, so what can be added to the world map again ? We know that the west part of Othard is not revealed, but Dalmasca seems not far away. So why not a location nearby ? but... This will be logic if we are Warrior of light and not Darkness !

The supposition must take a 180° Turn. So I suggest, that we have to fight against some Heroes probably. And with the apparition of Gunblade, why don't we have to fight against the Balamb University ?

8 Man Content :

And now the big big deal.

We have always encountered THE powerful foe. Bahamut, Alexander and Omega are really really powerful. Bahamut possess a great destructive power, Alexander can manipulate Time and Space and Omega can do almost anything he want to do. So who is our next foe ? We already got 2 Primal and one Super-boss. Who have as much power as they have ?

Chaos, Exdeath, Kefka, and Cloud of Darkness are out !

I don't really have any idea about this one...

Beast Tribe :

Beside the Nu Mou that was mentionned, I think about the Garrif. They can be quit interesting to use and can have a link with Adrammelech (Who isn't really far from them in FFXII)




And you ! What do you think ?
