Thread: 6.0 Hopes and Fears?

Hopes: more glam dresser space (more than the usual 200 per expac.. we need 400 this time around)

Fears: They keep pushing healers in the wrong direction... Probably going to happen since they haven't listened to the community these past 6 years, I don't really see this changing.

My hopes:
- a decent story after what ShB brought us
- more diversity in job rotations. Specifically in healers, but would still love more diversity in everything else.
- a new healer
- give some utility back to NIN and BRD
- more free inventory space
- brand new glamour system that is similar to the transmog
- fixed some of the housing problems
(kind of hoping for male vieras and female hrothgar, but I know that won't be happening)

My fears:
- jobs are going to get more simplified and dumbed down for the sake of "accessibility", as well as homogenized
- Fandaniel is the new Joker
- no inventory space
- housing is still terrible
- more limited jobs
- new gear still gets terrible dye options, and has undyeable black colouring somewhere.

I am hoping they will reinvest in FFXIV and give it an HD overhaul. The last thing I want to see is FFXIV given minimum staff for a by-the-numbers expansion. The outdated graphics seem like they're exponentially getting more noticeable every year. I don't play the game for graphics but there is a limit to how far behind a modern game can get.

In Stormblood I was still a WAR main, but I loved another job quite a bit but not as much. I am talking about the Astrologian. I was happy with WAR in Shadowbringers, but not at all happy with what they did to AST. It's been over a year since and I've tried AST frequently. I like it more than I did with AST on Shadowbringers release, but I still really hate the cards and the Divination mechanic and everything about the job gauge. Next expansion, I hope in general they revise their approach to healers... There seems to be some kind of mental block in the development team. I hope SCH and AST come up with designs that are more fun. My fear is that they find a way to make WAR unfun and I end up with no jobs I have much attachment to.

Hopes:
- Jobs being unique from one another instead of being homogenized.
- big overwork on PvP so that 1vs1 Matches are finally working on every matchup possibility.
- another Deep Dungeon.
- Dungeons which aren't marathon tracks with 3 bosses and ads in between.
- higher difficulty options for already existing dungeons or rework.
- Equipment stored in the Glamour Chest becomes "all jobs" for the glamour purposes.

Fears/Expects:
- Jobs getting dumbed down even further.
- another attempt to remove Energy Drain from Scholar.
- no changes to the dungeon template they're using.
- unsignificant potency changes
- MP being removed
- maybe HP too since you can't die out in the field and inside Dungeons anyway.
- further Monk adjustments will give the Job inner release and stances will be gone.

Hopes

- I hope the story is good and Zenos surprises me. I actually would like him to kill someone important, I think it would help his character and most of the scions have served their purpose.
- I hope there’s a colourful new job. I’d like Corsair, Chemist, Juggler, something fun and light
- MCH buffs
- Less scions but more Ryne and Alisae
- Another zone like Doma Enclave
- Ala Mhigo Restoration
- Do something with the world of darkness
- Final Fantasy 7

Fears

- I think story might be a letdown, not terrible but like going from HW to SB was.
- boring jobs
- MCH nerfs
- Ryne sits out like lyse sat out SHB and never becomes a scion of the seventh dawn
- Boring content in general.. we’ve been spoilt a bit lately.

Hope: That they improve and build upon Limited Jobs by adding Beast Tamer, and content that both BST and BLU can take part in together.

Fear: They continue to half-ass Limited Jobs and either don't add any more and just keep adding more DPS spells to BLU that don't offer anything different.

Hopes:
- new healer (chemist please)
- good story just like ShB
- lyse will make appearance (maybe even accompany us)
- improved character creation
- derplander's beard
- less scripted fight
- I know she's gone, but I want to see minfilia once again. Properly says goodbye to her.
- we don't actually deal with the Sound at 6.0, but it was kept for 7.0 onwards for plot
- they finally addressed the problem with ilvl cheese for alliance raid. I'm sick of CT.
- we go to Garlemad, and not sharlayan.

Fears:
- Zenos being the last boss, I much prefer if fandaniel is the last one
-Zenos somehow survive 6.0
- hydaelyn is secretly evil
- homogenizing jobs even further
- No drk and sch rework (they're too simple)
- more g'raha and alisae being obsessed with us (seriously, it's getting creepy). At least give us the option to tell them off.
- g'raha keep stealing the spotlight from other scions/characters
- more rework to simplify crafting
