Live letter is almost here

The treasure vault's already there, it's the Excitatron.

I know, but given how it got brought up twice in the MSQ with the Loporrits wanting to improve it, I felt there's more to that than "we're just highlighting within the MSQ that there will in fact be more maps" though it could just be a cool little nod like that, this expact actually has lots of cool deep dungeon ideas.

Some kind of storage archive in Labyrinthos.
Something Ktisis Hyperboreia like.
Anythings possible over in Thule.
Could even be some abandoned Garlean lab.

Ultima Thule, one of those weird planets in the background though Elpis could be fun too, actually, especially with how Ktiesis is.

Gonna throw in my two gil and say that I doubt it would be Ultima Thule considering how these dungeons are meant to level alternate classes and unless I'm mistaken PoTD and HoH didn't require getting to the lategame and were located in relatively early-level zones. I feel like it's more likely to be in Labyrinthos for that reason (though hot take - personally I've had enough of Sharlayan for now). As much as I would love Elpis, especially considering how there's an area on the map that looks like it would be suitable for a deep dungeon, I think it's also too late in the game to work. Having it be in Garlemald would be interesting (somehow I neglected to consider it as a possibility), I'd love to explore a lab and learn more about the awful experiments they conducted. I think Thavnair could be ruled out because the Uznair Canals are already there.

I'd kind of like if they sprung something on us that isn't expected, but 6.3 is already seeming rather content heavy given that to our knowledge it already has:

-MSQ + trial
-Variant/criterion dungeon
-Deep dungeon
-Ultimate raid
-Alliance raid
-Relic steps

Maybe BLU will get an update, too...?

I do wonder what they'll use as the next PotD/HoH as there isn't anything fairly obvious unlike with how the never ending tower in the Ruby Sea was what everyone guessed it would be.

I've been hoping they'd do something with that strange city bearing dome-shaped buildings and highways that can be seen in the background of Ultima Thule as it has yet to be associated with any of the races present there.

For the first time ever im really excited for the relic grind lol. Mainly for godbert but also i love that scythe and look forward to the upgrades.

I'm not really excited for anything right now. Alliance raid... not really. I guess it's relic for me.

Tbh I'm more excited about fanfest even though it's still very far away. I want to know the next jobs. Still holding hope that they'll give us chemist one day..... (a shame it won't be healer job since sage already exist)

A thought if we get Nophica glamour for everyone: tree-branch crowns for everyone, not just Twin Adders mages. Maybe even dyeable!

Woo! Tree theme!... Thats not sarcasm lol, id love to see it.

hopefully they nixed that idea of subverting expectations with boss design the director mentioned previously. i want nophica and halone to look as expected.

Which is a bit of a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation, because honestly, the fact that all the Aglaia bosses were nearly exactly what we expected (barring some minor misreadings of Nald'thal) is why I'm not excited about the next alliance raid. I can already imagine all of Halone's fight if she's like we expect, and I don't find her particularly interesting, so why should I care?

Aglaia was well-made in terms of combat design, and In The Balance is good, but given 'good combat design' isn't exactly inherent to the concept and anything they could be making would be about as good, what is there to grab me?

The mystery is in the surrounding plot – whatever is going on with Deryk.

Sometimes it's okay for a battle to be exactly what people are anticipating it to be, and in any case it's not immediately obvious what the fights will be like.

It's not exactly edge-of-my-seat anticipation, but I'm sure it'll be enjoyable when I play it, and I don't feel a need to look forward to it more intently than that.
