Story Span

[Dannythm]

So I expressed it more or less on my Chrono Fantasy XIV thread, but after thinking more about it I guess it will be better to expand on the idea in it's own thread.

What about the life span of the lore of the game? In my experience most MMO, every time they expand, they do it with a new region, a new story-line and new characters, loosely tied with the events of the previous expansion/content.

But this whole year of Dalamud falling and knowing it's an only once event made it really awesome, and the final event that was live, not in an instance, but all the payers getting there and trying to achieve the same thing, was truly epic, and would have been even better if the servers could have handle it, but hat's not the concern here.

So I hope and wish, that ARR story line does just not last until the first expansion and then we get something else to do, but that Yoshi and the writers have a long story that will evolve with us and be the main force to push the game forward during a period of 7-8 years, maybe more, and that expansions just add more to the same evolving plot.

This is my wish and hope, but I'd like to see other peoples opinions, do you prefer the classic way, "starting anew" in every expansion, or just a single story that lasts a LONG time evolving and expanding?
