If they make the main storyline less of a snoozefest and more entertaining, I can see a lot of the older lore being brought back in an interesting fashion. They kinda just introduced and then left ideas hanging off of an edge. Ascians, the whole thing with Beastmen and traders/the path of the twelve, Ifrit and your inner primal, etc. The original team was all over the place with the storyline instead of just keeping it simple.

I'm really hoping Yoshida/FFXI's storywriter keep it far more straightforward this time around.
