I have yet to play Patch 5.4 since I'm saving the MSQ for a later time, but I'm actually pretty curious about how much of the story points to 6.0 being Final Fantasy IV themed. I've had a hunch that 6.0 could be Final Fantasy IV themed if we are ever going to the moon and since Shadowbringers had Final Fantasy III main theme all over it then I was thinking that they might do the same for 6.0 with but with Final Fantasy IV main theme. Also seems cinematically perfect for the Warrior of Darkness to transform from a Dark Knight to a Paladin in his return to becoming the Warrior of Light again.

But man, it would be pretty damn cool if we get the Tower of Babil and/or the Lunar Subterrane as the Alliance Raid and integrated to the lore similar to how the Crystal Tower was. As far as I know though, 6.0 being Final Fantasy IV themed the way 5.0 was Final Fantasy III themed is just a dream of mine.

I guessed DRK last time, but the story didn't pan out as I predicted but hey, got it right.

With 5.4 done, there are some side quests involving the thirteenth and I get the impression that we MIGHT be dealing with overarching darkness on a calamitic scale, and the world crying out for a "hero".

So... all points are looking at Paladin right now.

My reason is that we're supposedly near the climax of the whole Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc and since it's mostly high fantasy stuff Paladin makes the most sense. Also considering the reputation the WOL has built for themselves, we're seen as the hero of heroes. Something akin to Paladins. Also, there is a good chance we might end up on the moon. Lots of IV throwbacks for sure.

Though they could throw us for a loop and do a "what was old is new again" and just have them be a Warrior again, just in new artifact armor.

It could be one of three

Pld for reasons said already
Warrior, for bookends of season 1 of ARR
or one of the new job(s) if there is any

I'm guessing...Garlemald for the next expansion, or what remains of it. Then...we will be set up to head to the Thirteenth for the next.

I'm gonna come out of left field and say since he hasn't been a caster yet, SMN.

As I've said before, this is the likely answer to me. Assuming we'll be dealing with less "end of the world" threats, that makes this probably the best time for SMN to become the face of the WoL. Besides, we all know we want a trailer of multiple Egis beating down monsters before Bahamut/Phoenix/Alexander (I wish) Egis are summoned to cause more destruction.

One aspect to consider in light of a theoretical Summoner/Scholar is that the Nymians will be cured of the Rancor as of this next story arc as goes with the cure to tempering. I’ve been thinking that what if this next story arc actually does revolve around Mages? More specifically delving into the War of the Magi. I have very low expectations for going to Garlemald quite yet. There’s gotta be something else on the horizon.

I mean we could be wrong in speculating Garlemald. It seemed like we were ramping up to war with the in 5.0 but then got the curveball that was Norvrandt.

But there is a lot going on imperial related. The MSQ is setting off civil war in the empire, the Trial storyline and Bozja storylines are dealing with the empire and different provinces, it would be really weird to have all this going on but then not go there again IMO. Especially since there's only one more patch of msq (two if you want to count them splitting the msq between .5 and .55) to bridge us to another expansion and it may be frustrating and forced if they have all this build up with the empire only to shove us into yet another curveball expansion at the last minute again.

I'm just expecting them to want to completely overhaul the SMN class (into something that will make EVERYONE mad) and will want to use the derplander to advertise that totally cool new design, you just don't get it yet guys!! D;
