I would rather they just do Islabard for 6.0 with probably Sharlyan as the main hub city, the Garlean capitol as the endgame hub, and the moon as the final mystery zone. Islabard has been teased for two expansions now and to be honest if they did another misdirect it would just get old and repetitive and quite frankly annoying.

It worked for ShB because for most of SB i made it known I did not want the next expansion to be fighting the Garleans again for another full X-pack as it would be to similar and I am not a fan when two x-packs in a row use the same enemies (cough cough SWTOR KotFE followed by KotET) and also ShB was the Ascian expansion and further lead to the finale but right now Islabard has been teased to high heaven and i really do not want another full X-Pack of them dragging out the conflict with the meanwhile at the Imperial Palace cutscenes and wondering when we are finally going to go there.

Meracydia can wait I want 6.0 to finally be Islabard. Also i believe Yoshi P. has stated for a while that 6.0 is supposed to be the end of the season 1 storyline and I hope that includes not only the Hydalyn/Zodiark plotline but also the Garlemald one too. that way the next expansion can be a totally new ark with new threats.
