6.0 Hopes and Fears?

**Catsaber** · 12-28-2020 12:06 PM

Hopes:

- Male Viera and Female Hrothgar for those that have been wanting them since the reveal.
- Fixes for most of the Viera and Hrothgar hat problems.
- Time Mage (i will never give up on this just because AST is a thing) and Chemist Classes.
- Possibly Beastmaster and Puppetmaster as Limited jobs (even if i don't like the concept i will take what i can get at this point lol).
- Blue Mage become a bit more relevant.
- Bard rework and physical ranged dps buffs.
- Black Mage getting a bit more to step out of the fire blizzard zone.
- Garlean Zone.

Fears:

- Zenos fandango for the 580th time.
- Story quality compared to Shadowbringers (it can go either way honestly, either it will be super good or it will have the same case as Stormblood being compared to Heavensward).
- Less content.
- Eureka pagos 2.0.
- Possibly a Scion going AWOL (kinda doubt though due to trust system but yeah).

My biggest fear is jobs and encounters getting more complicated than they already are but it's gonna happen.

I keep seeing people talk about how "braindead easy" it is playing a dps so the moron is me I guess.

I want to keep playing but not if it's going to stress me out.

My biggest hope is more fluid rotations, a good story and the missing genders for Hrothgar and Viera.

I hope Viera will be able to wear the paid for haircuts from Mogstation.

I also hope that Zenos and Fandaniel will be minor villains.

Also Hope that Elezen will get a new model

A New Healer Class would be awesome as well.

Storywise I know they'll do good I've been pleased each expansion

Also More Hildibrand.

I fear that Zenos and Fandaniel will be the major big bads and that's too bad.Neithers really interesting.

I also fear that nothing will be done with the Ascian Pashtarot.

**Theodric** · 12-28-2020 12:17 PM

Hopes:

- Necromancer, Time Mage and Beastmaster as new jobs.
- Additional character customisation options. Let us design a character to look like Snow from FFXIII, Basch from FFXII or Gladio from FFXV.
- Less focus on pandering to the vocal minority that flocks to Twitter and other social media sites.
- More engagement from community representatives right here on the official forum as well as a proper appeal/forgiveness system for bans dished out in exchange for minor offences.
- A focus on nuance and consequences in the main story, particularly in relation to the game's protagonists.
- Sympathetic antagonists to be allowed to live rather than be killed off. Other Final Fantasy titles had no issue allowing for it, so I don't know why FFXIV has a bizarre obsession with 'punishing' antagonists with death.
- More antagonist themed gear, hairstyles, paintings. minions and so on.

Fears:

- Zenos and Fandaniel continuing to overstay their welcome.
- Story continues to become increasingly contrived. Such as with more time travel elements and a lack of meaningful consequences for anyone but the antagonists.
- No dialogue options to tell the likes of G'raha and Alisae to back off whenever they get obsessive over the Warrior of Light.
- An unsatisfying conclusion to the story surrounding Garlemald, the Ancients and Zodiark.

Hopes:

Sharlayan as the new city.

We get to meet Alphinaud and Alisae's parents.

Comedy scene where Alphinaud bumps into the girls he tried to impress with his artistic skills.

Awesome scene where the Forum and all the of Archons come together to find a way to fix the Sound.

Secret light themed WoL or Ascian/creation magic Azem job unlocked as a part of the MSQ.

Garlean Legatus or Archadian Judge job that uses Garlean gunblades, can cast ceruleum magic like Regula's blue firey lion and use laws.

Summoner gets new egis.

Garlemald gets a good restoration storyline.

If we get six zones and one of those zones is either the center of the world or the moon, that means we could have 5 other zones exploring Ilsabard. I know Thavnair is out of the way, but I'd like to visit it. I think 7.0 onwards is going to be about going to the New World and Meryacdia and other shards, so if we're ever going to go to Thavnair I think this might be our only chance.

On the same note, it'd also be cool to be able to visit the ancestral homelands of the races in the games. Like Aerslaent, the island the Limsa Lominsans came from. Or some Hellsguard Roegadyn villages up in the mountains. Or those islands just off the southern coast of Aldenard where the Plainsfolk Lalafell came from.

I'd like to see Gosetsu again but I don't know if he will come back this expansion or go adventuring with us in the New World or Merycadia.

Fears:

Zenos eats Zodiark, or is eaten by Zodiark. Turns into a godmonster final boss.

The final boss is a godmonster (pls don't let the Sound turn into Lavos which we fight, just let it be a problem we fix using knowledge and our allies).

Garlemald is just a dungeon like Ala Mhigo.

The Eorzean Alliance destroys Garlemald and then walks away, leaving it a broken wreck, without addressing the underlying problem (Garleans can't use magic which is an objective disadvantage, and they are stuck in the mountains, which isn't fertile land). So it's just going to be WW1 where the Allies defeated Germany and walked away leaving it a mess without fixing anything, only for the inevietble to happen in the next generation.

Voice quality won't be consistently good due to ongoing lockdown. We've already seen this problem in 5.4, where the preestablished characters sounded good because the actors already knew their roles, but the newly voiced characters didn't sound good.

hopes:

- DRK rework of conflicting mechanics like blackblood and delirium and a restoration of his fast paced real MP managment tank identity + mechanics like darkside and living shadow aporting something to the gameplay and not being a decoration.
- healers and tanks gameplay getting enchanced, deshomogenitazed to a degree and a increment of the skill floor so both roles feel impactful again.
- viera and roghtgar headgear added, way more variety of hairstyles, female and male version of both races added.
- more battle content that last more than a week, more harder dungeons in both dificulty and number, better savage raids.
- increased the size of the dev combat team that take care of the jobs desing and fix issues to have more faster development and proper management of the 17 jobs + new ones properly and way more effective.

Fears:

- DRK stay as a WAR clone with inner delirium, useless ui elements (darkside gauge), no MP management and just only new fancy animations.
- tanks and healers even more simplified.
- viera at roghtbar added just a few hair options and no updates to the next expansion.
- more simplified battle content and brainless dungeons.
- the same amount of devs taking care of everything and take ages to fix anything related with the jobs like now but worse.

Hopes

- 6.0 isn’t the end of the game and that they create a new end of the world story line.
- That they confirm for 7.0 and beyond the final level cap will be 99 and they focus on ilevel after that.
- no squishes
- no changes other then new skills for my lovely BLM
- no changes to crafting, I finally got my rotation down for scripts and basically everything.
- more voice acting and longer cut scenes.
- story is better then shb. It was a good game, but the patches are..... interesting.
- let’s go to space.....lunar.....
- new mage class
- trusts, trust, trust, and more trusts.

Fears:

None of that happens or the opposite happens because of people’s “oppinions”

**Yuriwara** · 12-28-2020 01:19 PM

I have only one hope...

- Hildibrand is back! -

**Gojin** · 12-28-2020 01:22 PM

fears: No male viera, no new hats.
Hopes: none

**Garnix** · 12-28-2020 02:05 PM
