So our character has... SPOILERS

[Maxilor]

I'm not ready for tall Alisae and Alphinaud.

I hope they do some kind of time skip in the next expansion

Red Alphinaud needs to join us on our next adventure. Blue Alphinaud can stay in Sharlayan though and it would be fun to have an arc in patch MSQ in Sharlayan with him.

Or at least give them different hairstyles from each other. I still find it a bit odd they're identical twins, but were born different sexes.

I honestly hope that 7.0s big feature is a rebuild/upgrade of the engine.
They've been saying for years that they're hitting hard limits on things they can add.

We're still technically running on spaghet code leftovers from the 1.0 to 2.0 transition.

PSO2 New Genesis shows how an MMO can do a big engine overhaul and a sequel while retaining access to the original game.
NGS success or failure aside, the concept of having XIV ARR to Endwalker as a separate thing to whatever we get from 7.0 onwards is actually a pretty decent way to do it.

An entirely new story unfettered by what has come before is a prime opportunity to do a massive visual/Engine upgrade.
XIV is 10 years old now including 1.0. Not even counting the years of development work prior to launch using even older technologies.
To want to do another 10 years of XIV, they kind of have to upgrade the core of the game.
Even that other MMO was forced to upgrade it's engine in it's recent history.

I don't want free teleports, I just want a stat counter that shows us how much gil we've spent on teleporting, repairs, and other random things just for funsies.

[Gameovers]

Nah I don't care about a time skip.. as it'll be pointless anyway. We don't age. I rather we just get a new starting zone in a new area for everyone who finished 6.0

I wonder who's charging the aetheryte fees in Ultima Thule...?

The Meteia need that gil for candied apples you know.

[Powercow]

I wonder who's charging the aetheryte fees in Ultima Thule...?

Hey, Ea's gotta Eat.

[Ransom]

I wonder who's charging the aetheryte fees in Ultima Thule...?

Back when Shadowbringers came out I wondered about this, contemplating some poor little Lala accountant in an office somewhere in Uldah trying to figure out just where the hell 'Norvrandt' was. Now I imagine him arriving at work one morning to run the day's Aetherite fees and...

"Mare Lamentorum? Ultima Thule...? Hey Charlie!"

"Yeah Phil?"

"Where the heck are Mare Lamentorum and Ultima Thule?"

"Never hoid 'O da second one... First one's on da moon."

"On the moo..."

(He gives up and goes back home for the day...)
