Thread: The future of FFXIV, in 6.1 and beyond!

In short, send us to a kingdom, not another republic, and please avoid forcing in real-world locations/cultures without a strong enough link to the main plot.

Yes! I haven't even mentioned the story content! I think it would be kinda boring if new world is native america, that tribe could be in one of the zones, but they have the potential to create a really unique setting. I wonder what kinds of stories they can create now that garlemald and ascians aren't a thing anymore... They are free to do whatever they want with some new lore! And I want a new main squad with as few of the scions as possible in it. I think G'raha and Krile would be more than enough since they're pretty new. Can you imagine brand new characters to accompany us... maybe they won't all have white hair as well! *gasp*


I'm just very excited for the future... I wonder if in the live letter they'll talk more about the story going forwards or the systems and upgrades they'll add to the game long term!

I'm sure whatever they do in the future will be a call back to "Final Fantasy: Who the Eff Cares"

Because god forbid we add some content that isn't fan service and a direct reference to a previous FF game.
