The future

I'd like to see the player character move away from being the 'Warrior of Light' and go back to being an adventurer. I'd like a return to more grounded threats as well - at least for a while.

More lasting consequences for the protagonists and less fake deaths would be wonderful, too. I would also quite like to see more of the established nuance in the story embraced.

If, for example, we go to the Void then having our character wield darkness rather than light in a MSQ cutscene would be pretty neat. Between Reaper and Dark Knight there's less and less excuse to hide such things away in job quests.

Final cutscene of EW basically says we are adventurers again. No godly magic or mystic other worldly voodoo to keep us safe.

I’d like to break away from the scions and do my own thing. But honestly, I think I just have to accept that all the things I want are not going to happen so I’m in the process of researching other games where character choices matter - which would pretty much exclude mmorpgs. Also looking into D&D.

I think finishing the current story has left me in a good spot to end my adventures in Eorzea. I’ll definitely peek in on steamers every now and then to see what direction the game goes in. I’ve noticed that I prefer watching others play this game than playing it myself now.
