Where do we go from here? DT Story and beyond

[Khutulun]

And they'll ask five times are you sure you want to marry her with the dialog options being:
-Yes
-Of course.
-Most definitely!

It's wild to me that the dialogue choices usually have no dramatic changes on the scene/conversation... unless it involves calling Y'shtola a mommy indirectly / teasing Y'shtola, or unless it involves calling Alphinaud a nerd or letting him be a nerd and explain everything currently going on like one.

The first thing I said when we finally acquired the key and made a point to take care of its safety was, "That's going to get stolen." So I'd like to see if it gets stolen or not.

Other than that, anything that doesn't focus on Wuk Lamat would be appreciated by me. I just want to learn more about Eorzea for myself. I want the vacation I was promised because DT was NOT a vacation. It was a working vacation and you were a nanny. Give me a real vacation where I get to explore and learn on my own.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think it's time for the game to have its WoW Cataclysm moment. I would love for the focus to swing back to Eorzea with the ARR zones and cities revamped, the removal of the base classes (which would free up more potential jobs while also allowing for the much needed (IMO) SMN/SCH split), and a new level 1-whatever leveling experience for new people.

I mean... it's been years since Ultima Weapon. It'd be nice to see Eorzea change with the times.

Wasn't the entirety of ARR-Endwalker only a year canonically?

We've been gifted a macguffin that should allow for easier cross shard travel, but we don't know how to use it yet. And there are still parts of Etheirys we have yet to see. The implications that the key has ties to Azem is another mystery as well. I also feel like we've only just started scratching the surface of 'soul stuff.' Alexandria brought with them Electrope technology which is going to impact the world. There are probably a some other things that I'm not considering as well. A lot of doors are open.

I can't even believe they made a freaking hourglass to solve the problem of exploring the remaining reflections. It's incredible. You have the audience wondering how the next arc will go and the best thing you could do is make a plot device? I'm seriously questioning the future of storytelling in XIV.

And I don't really care if it has to do with Azem at this point. Because then you have to explain why it answers to fervent desires and why it complied with Sphene. How does that have anything to do with Azem?

I can tell you how we are going to activate it too.

In no particular order.

I'm worried that they'll do multiple shards at once and further shrink the game world's scale. We went from Aldenard having 8 regions across 22 zones, which still doesn't include some subregions from 1.X, to where we are now.

[FuwafuwaMii]

We got the McGuffin that's going to let us travel shards 1 2 3 now so surfs up my dudes right?

That's not what a MacGuffin is.

No idea, but that would make zero sense. Given that MMO zones are a vastly shrunken down version of 'reality' (cities would have more than a couple dozen people milling about, there are presumably villages scattered around everywhere, wars are supposed to have killed thousands, etc), the time it would really take for travel (traversing zones, to say nothing about the StB boat trip), the necessities of rest, hygiene, food, and the downtime between expansions, there's no possible way that ARR->EW took only a year. None.
