Thread: 8.0/Blindfrost glam

For Blindfrost we just have 1 line in-game that tells us there’s treasure there and a few lines of nearby areas in the encyclopedia that describe how bleak and empty it is. The treasure dungeon we know is near there is prime VC content but I can’t see it carrying a whole expansion on its own that solely keeps us in North Othard.

While the devs could just retcon all that and put stuff there, I’d much rather they instead put an expansion in a place we actually have context for, that finally clears cloud cover on the map over Ilsabard, and could provide a nice spread of varied landscapes for the zones.

Don't doom yet.

For Dawntrail we were promised native America and cowboys, and we still ended up with shard travel and cyberpunk.

Endwalker, we were told it'd be about Sharlayan and Zodiark, and we ended up playing catch with baby Hydaelyn and having a friendly duel while standing on the literal outer edge of the universe.

8.0 could be in Agartha for all we know.

Same! I want mostly snowy and icy zones.

As long as it isn't summery or desert.

Winter glam you ask?

I just want pops of color and detail between patches of white snow. Our cold towns are grey, black, and then white. Please.

OMG! Yes! There has to be some poppin' colors in the mix.

We got enough brown and greys and overall blandness in games during the PS360 era (7th gen) to last me a lifetime, lol.
