PLEASE SQUARE ENIX - PUT BESTWAYS BURROW ORCHESTRION ROLLS

[Ryaz]

I admit, I was disappointed that "Welcome to Our Town" wasn't a rank 3 reward. But I can wait. Three weeks until the OST comes out.

Yeah. It feels like the Trial series for this expansion - it starts with a dungeon, just like Hell's Kier and the Four Lords. We'll end up fighting the final bosses that caused the end of their respective worlds.

I am utterly convinced we're getting FF4's elemental lords as the trials.
There's the correct number of them (assuming one is relegated to a dungeon / solo instance again).
And if you ask around in the post-MSQ, you hear that "Another spirit has escaped the Tower of Zot".
Who was the other boss in FF4's Zot? Valvalicia of Air.
What was required to defeat her? A dragoon.
What is Estinien doing? Hanging out in the closest city, as his mission takes shape.

Most likely any Endwalker overworld themes not currently in the game will be added to the gemstone traders in a later patch, similar to Shadowbringers. The Moon and the final zone don't have night themes, but do have the Bestways Burrow theme and Echoes in the Distance to be added.

Loporrit quests will be battle quests, just like the pixies were. Same place in the MSQ, same zone count into the expansion, same push into your face by the developers.

My money is on loporrits for gathering, and arkasodara stationed out of The Great Work for crafting, and Ea for combat.

I dunno about the Ea being a tribe at all... but I do think it will be the reverse here

The Lopporits I can see wanting human feedback and participation in the creation of their structures on the moon while the Arkandarosa might not want us sticking our fingers into their experiments and research and instead continue to rely on us to get materials, not unlike we did in the MSQ for them.

I kinda thought the Thavnair alchemists would be more custom deliveries rather than a “beast tribe”.

For me, I thought the Lopporits for one, possibly in Labyrinthos; one related to Garlemald survivors (maybe crafting to rebuild the refinery). Other than the obvious in Ultima Thule for combat…but I don’t see them putting a beast tribe in the final zone.

[Starshower]

I'm almost certain matanga will be a combat beast tribe, because of the quest chain in thavnair that will most certainly be a requirement for unlocking it (the one with the au ra from the steppe) and loporrits make sense as crafting because they will probably want to learn more about etheirys, so we'd craft stuff from there to probably make a little zone on bestways burrow more hospitable for people or something like it. The gathering beast tribe could be anywhere... remember, the qitari came from nowhere completely by surprise in shadowbringers.
