Thread: Future locations for 7.0 [SPOILER Discussion]

It was a great story but to be a truly fresh start it needs to be unshackled by those plot elements.

Yoshi-p already said the Ascians, Ancients, Amaurot, Zodiark, Hydaelyn, and etc related to them all ended in 6.0.

Season 2 is going to be a new storyline involving new antagonists and etc. However, expect the Scions to return as Season 2 is meant to be a sequel storyline after all.

We can basically consider Season 2 story to be Final Fantasy 14-2.

With Season 2 beginning in 6.1, I expect 6.55 maybe mostly focus on setting up where WoL will go to Season 2 and the new antagonist while introducing some of the new companions WoL will adventure with for Season 2. Of course we should expect the Scions to return eventually in a sequel storyline fashion one at a time due to varies reasons for them joining WoL on his/her new world saving adventure.

If they're addressed, I bet it'll be side story content

The lore established the 13th was corrupted by Darkness so badly that not even the Ascians could reverse the effects to a point little amount of the 13th shard remains where the 13th shard once was. The World of Darkness is basically all that is left of the 13th shard while everything else is a Void of Darkness.

If they are going to explore more of the 13th Shard, I expect it maybe a side content being either a Raid, Alliance Raid, or some kind of exploration content that maybe used for 7.X Relic weapons.

Well, to be fair, we and people we know have done things that the Ascians have thought were impossible. So who knows.

That being said, I do think it's more likely to be side content than MSQ. Probably the Warring Triad quest will be required, but not all of the Shadowbringers Role quests, they'll handwave and say they did everything the quests did while you weren't looking, and if you don't do them some dialogue will be different like the "Eorzea Assemble" moment in Endwalker. (Though honestly, people should do them, they're some of the best and I love all the characters).
