Still no SNG (Songstress), still no Pole using Tank, still no Whip although they'd probably make it Dex because they're idiots, and still no dual wielding.
>>
>>737529916
By making it the Edgar class that eventually diverged into just being mecha rockets for some reason and not the actual gunslinger with tech class like its fuckin job quests hyped it up to be. It's so focused on homages and trying to be cool that it forgot to actually do anything interesting with its bare essentials. And that's not even getting into weavemash monotony.

Honestly? I kinda wish they DID keep casting timers for shooting now. Pack a little more oomph into Machinist just so they justify it, instead of Bard and Machinist just being able to run around shooting their shit with free sliding.
>>
>>737530023
Bard primarily uses a small harp or lute and that is what you hear when it casts its abilities. SNG is primarily singing and singing uptime. No weapons.

This is kinda happening and I'm surprised it's not getting traction.

The fanfest trailer will be hype inducing EXCEPT there will be some single thing that sets people off and they fixate on. Alisae's butt possibly.

If I see another fucking mukbang-y eating scene though god dammit.

>>737529374
The absolutely devilish move would be no wuk in teaser 1, but wuk in trailer fanfest 2. I feel fairly confident she's buried and gone.

>>737530701
For me a perfect repudation of DT, even better than a dogeza, is either or a combination of:
>MSQ skip of some kind to 8.0 (maybe 7.4)
>Shale joins the scions, not wuk and not speen (I have no issue with speen but higher proximity risk of wuk showing up again)

From what was said at things like the Korean Fanfest and some interviews mentioning it. I'd say any minor cosmetic stuff probably will stop being locked to clans for example. Sky's the limit based on how much backend work to the character models they've done. Unlikely as it is a want I've seen from people who play the races is decoupling things like ear or horns from face type. I'm guessing more colors, probably a few more face types per race with maybe some additional sliders or more extreme options on existing ones.

Fake leaks aside I do genuinely kind of expect an Ilsabard expansion just because I think they know they fucked up by skipping it to rush EW's big ending and there's also just a lot of places there to visit before we fully commit to dimensional travel, we really should finish exploring our home continents.
Also it'd be so funny dude they talked about compressing and skipping Garlemald so much so to turn around and do it now as an apology expansion would be hilarious.

The redpill is that XIV threads aren't allowed on /v/ and that the mods and jannies hate XIV. Eventually, they decided to have a designated XIV "general" thread created by either a mod or a janny up at all times so that they could 1) monitor XIV even more than they already do, and 2) make sure sentiment on /v/ regarding XIV is negative 100% of the time by shitposting nonstop.

At this point there's no reason to go there, it would have been fun right after ShB but at this point the story has advanced too far for the region to matter. They wrapped up it's situation off screen and at this point have relegated it to side content, which I would welcome.

The best thing they can do at this point is fully commit to dimensional/shard/space travel, digging around the dregs of Garlemald or walking through Meracydia with more dragons and allagans would be a step backwards. Realistically they have 3 expansions left, dream up something exciting.

Personally I have to wonder what they'd do with Othard, since outside of Hingashi and Nagxia, most of that continent was used for dungeons, raids, and forays. Like it'd be really funky to let you actually walk around in an actual zone in Bozja, Dalmasca, or even like The Burn, after you had to run through them in a different format.
>>
>>737535865
No, I'm talking about how the initial concept for Blitzballers had them use giant hooks and that's why Tidus' knew how to fight with swords and why they were all curved at the end. And the ability to hire better players in FFX, hence "hookers". :^)
>>

This is what I'm talking about, you can make shit up or take ideas from soccer, football, and basketball. Machinist does all sorts of flips while going through their base rotation, imagine all the trickshots you could do with a blitzball.

Based on what? You flaming faggot asshole. The entire region of "Tural" was insignificant. Garlean and Ascian/Ancients content is what kept this game alive in the first place. Just about nobody is disinclined to have 3-5 new Garlean centric zones. Some of which can be their territories again...which they have a lot of. There's also the island where Gaius is chilling as, that we only saw a fraction of.

Everything does have to be interesting though, see Dawntrail NOT being interesting for most of it's runtime. Endwalker answered questions, closed plot holes, and tied up loose ends, they also completely wrapped up and neutered the Garlemald region. We don't NEED to go there, they don't NEED to try and force a situation to create an expansion out of it.

They decided to skip it (and I think that was the wrong idea) and move on, they won't be going back to it.

I wish they'd do something with all of that kinda stuff yeah. I waited like a decade to finally go to Paglth'an and it got the Xelphatol "whole region represented by a dungeon" treatment though admittedly I think it's one of the best in the game so that was a little upsetting. I'd like to flesh out a lot of places we earlier got the opportunity to peek at, and go visit proper.
We don't even really get these opportunities anymore because they killed all extra dungeons down to one a patch which is always MSQ, we'd never get to go see places like Pharos Sirius, the Arboretum, Swallow's Compass, more areas of Amdapor, or fleshing out more areas and story for Sohm Al, Gubal Library or Fractal Continuum.
"Visiting new regions/places" has been folded into Field Ops and Variants which are fiiiiiiiiiiiine, since they're more fleshed out and you get to see more, spend more time there, really dig in, but with the tradeoff that we get much less of them and thus visit less different places. We get one field op (sometimes) and no variant consistency each xpac, so we're going to less places but see more of where we go, which your opinion might vary on whether that trade was worth it.
>>
>>737536115
Dawntrail could have been interesting if it was really a "summer games" type thing where you pick one group of scions to help and then the other one is opposed to you and you battle and whatever the fuck was promised before Dawntrail released.

Then it released and this "summer games" type thing was only like 30 minutes of the expansion and it wasn't even actually how it was described.

Garleans were only interesting because they were a technologically advanced threat, the rest of the world (known world at the time) truly were savages to them.

This is literally all the same thing and we've already done it multiple times. We've been to two reflections, Amaurot, futuristic societies, dead civilizations, into the future, ridden to space and can just teleport there, literally went into an aether pocket dimension to fight bird depression, and another dimension to fight zenos.

If you want to replay Endwalker and Shadowbringers, you can. There's a massive part of this game left unexplored, and it's allying with the entirety of Garlemald + territories, and interacting with them without being in a dungeon, raid or trial. They have layers, upon layers of shit, even if they destroyed the civilian capital.

There is nothing about Garlemald we need to see or know that would take an entire expansion to tell. It befits side content or small patch excursions, it's role as the big bad is over and it's chance of being an expansion setting is 0.000%.

With the exception of the weirdos in this thread, Garlean characters and stories are very popular with the entire playerbase. Comparing characters like Regulus van Hydra, Gaius van Baelsar, Zenos yae Galvus, Nero Tol Scaeva, Valens van Varo to Wuk Lamat and Spheen is embarrassing. Not to mention there's 14 legions, and we've only seen 4 or 5.
>>
>>737536842
Regulus was a fart in the wind and a lazy Gaius 2.0
Valens is fun because he's one dimensional and cartoonishly evil
>>
>>737536671
My brother my account was started using a FFXIV 1.0 CE, they canned the Garlean expansion, they aren't going to say uh oh lets go back and do it now. Nothing about Garlemald affects the setting, it's been destroyed and explained, it's also seen it's technology be surpassed by multiple other friendly groups. I understand that you have an unhealthy obsession with it but you have to let go, the story is best suited to travel elsewhere, to go to new locations where the story can grow and move down new paths.

No one besides you and a few other turbo autists want to sift through the rubble of a kingdom that was killed off screen, had all it's major characters deleted, and has no rightful reason to affect the MSQ going forward.

No, it does not. It paints her as someone who puts on a tough front but is actually still scared of fighting monsters.

The toxic positivity cult really is just coming back screaming with vengeance. Like they want 8.0 to be good not just because we all fucking want it to be good but because they want to try and retroactively paint DT in a better light for it and shame and vilify anyone who complained. As if it was ass kissing sycophancy that made things better instead of subscribers leaving by the hundreds of thousands.

>>737536665
What fucking culture was there to learn about in Tural? It was already pacified, it was the most godforsaken disney saccharine shithole with the tension of a wet limp noodle. It's an annoying trend they've been doing since SHB honestly where everywhere has absolutely minimal internal conflict or if they have a shred of it it gets resolved to be touchy feely.

Wheres my Hingashi where you have to stop a rebel with a righteous cause. Where's my Doma where you have the consequences of collaborators. Where's my Bozja where it may have been handed clumsily but at least there's not some utopian ending. The best we got was the dead baby cellar and that shit got resolved in a fucking cutscene. ONE CUTSCENE.

It's funny because then you get the Samurai job quest where the characters acknowledge the antagonist was right to be pissed and want to cause a rebellion, but they need to integrate themselves into society and change things peacefully to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, therefore because he has gone to far he and his rebels must be killed down to the last. Because Jap mindsets. And no one raises an eyebrow in-universe at this despite the fact that the protagonist frontlines two simultaneous rebellions in the same expansion.
>>
>>737536842
Oh I don't disagree, the characters were cool and the classical idea of an evil empire was always fun. The problem is that they did have an expansion centered there planned but Yoshi P chose to skip over it, whatever was supposed to happen ended up happening off screen and the Garlean case was closed. As I said before I think this was the wrong decision and they will end up regretting it in the long run, the game would be better off if they had not rushed to Endwalker.

There's just no point to go there now, people have to accept it.

>>737536665
>It's bizarre to me, didn't people like learning about the politics and history of places in Eorzea?
ARR and to a degree HW took a page out of XI's playbook and made sure that the game world was a major player in the story, instead of a backdrop for overpowered characters to duke it out with each other.

DT was that to an extreme, Tural and Alexandria felt like afterthoughts so Hiroi could write his plot about two princesses who would do anything to save their people.
>>
>>737536897
>What fucking culture was there to learn about in Tural?
DT sucked. Nobody is arguing about that point. People are posting about their wishes for 8.0, some of those people want to explore other countries and cultures on the Source, and your counterargument is "Nuh uh they should do the Shards because DT's writing sucked for Tural!" Well idiot, people obviously want 8.0 to be written WELL. If it's not written well then being a high-flying high-stakes adventure in outerspace or in a Shard based on FF13 or whatever then it would still fucking suck. No premise survives bad writing, so using DT's writing as an example isn't a counterargument for any theme or stakes in relation to 8.0.

The way the game sold like hotcakes in the past was everyone (Like me) loving the game so much we passed it on as word of mouth such that it became a meme of people trying to proselytize. Now that the game sucks dick unless 8.0 changes it for the better (and I think it will, since DT was so bad it can't go anywhere but up) they are scrambling to get paid sponsors to shill for it instead of the organic

The issue is that while that's the way Musosai wanted things handled, the little samurai lady you work for later on pushes the whole "We have to change society from the INSIDE by working for the nobles until they take pity on us!" moral in your face really fucking hard, and you don't really get any way to tell her she's fucking stupid and wrong and Musosai had it right.

See, the issue is more that you, the player, don't get any chance to tell the Sekiseigumi off in any kind of dialogue choice or in how you interact with the questline. Sure, it'd be meaningless in how things happen because that's how it always is, but it'd at least let you FEEL like you're not going along with her stupid opinions. The game doesn't force your character to say "Yes I agree" but it's irritating all the same to just go along with it without even one dialogue option saying "You're an idiot but I'm doing this for my Master's sake." It goes on too long with you doing everything she wants and hearing her preach.

Maybe different from Ascians. Maybe they poach from the aetherial sea so they grabbed Quintus and told him "We'll let you come back and you'll share this body with one of our own. You'll get revenge and we get what we want [Life]

END was the horror of life just being well and truly exterminated, soul and all nothing left. This would be the body horror of your soul not getting to rest after life but being - eh it ends up being like an edgier version of Dawntrail though.

>The Garlean Empire controls the majority of the Three Great Continents, the enormous landmass that encompasses Eorzea. Until some fifty years ago, Garlemald was a remote and sparsely populated nation which held little more than a fraction of the northern continent of Ilsabard. But with the arrival of a technological golden age and the concurrent emergence of a brilliant young legatus—now the reigning emperor—in the span of a single generation Garlemald established itself as one of the most formidable forces in all of Hydaelyn.

>With the tempering of the Telophoroi, no emperor and the captial in ruins, many legions lost guidance and communication. The Xth Legion requested an audience with the Eorzean Alliance to ask for aid in defeating the Telophoroi and saving what is left of Garlemald. The remaining forces of the Ist Imperial Legion under Quintus van Cinna accepted the request of the Xth - "Have the iyl stand down." - and surrendered[21].

There are 14 legions, and a huge chunk of them are just out there, in Eorzea, doing whatever they feel like doing because it is only the MAIN continent of a small capital city that got destroyed plus a small legion.

You cant save the current story, like what is the objetive of the Winterers? they want to save the shards but they have to make a new zodiark or hyadelin and make another sacrifice and we will teach them there is other way? the next expansion is going to be about that in the background meanwhile we save another shard from their local villain?

I don't know what you're schizoing about. (You) are the one who doesn't play the game. I do play the game, and I don't play a lala.

That Snowman mount is a recolor of a Snowman that everyone who actually plays the game already has. Who the fuck even wants a Twitch flavored recolor of a mount they already own?

The game was literally Garlemald vs Eorzea for a reason. They are massive, the capital is where they started not where they ended. We also know many Garleans had their own ideals and goals.

Lastly, because Garlemald recruits all races, and have Elezen in their high ranks, "Garleans" exist still in their ideals. The puritans were the ones dominating the capital.

You can tell fags like them don't play the game because we just got some great Corvos content. There's so much to explore even with the few places we do know. More of Werlyt besides one tiny seaside village, Nagxia, Lea Monde, Landis, a proper visit to Corvos.
For all you twitch MSQ vampires, Corvos is the place Garleans call Locus Amoenus, the place the spooky radio song is singing about.

How about black auracite, the mystery of ultima, a journey through time, space, and maybe dimensions to figure out what the fuck is happening.

I mean in JP she's so insanely archetypal that her actual character isn't what bothers me besides the wealth of cliches, the Eng voice acting is what really makes her truly goddamn obnoxious since it's so bad, but that's beside the point. It's that the writing does absolutely nothing interesting with her, so making her the focal protagonist of the story doesn't actually do anything besides be an excuse for other characters like Erenville to exposit necessary details. Her parallels to Sphene suck and basically don't exist beyond "princess rulers forced to step up". Her successes largely are stumbles, big shonen shit moments after she got her ass beaten by bandits off-screen, and other people actually handling the big stuff for her. She doesn't even really DO anything interesting as a leader, immediately fucking running off face first towards Alexandria until the patch cycles hold her back for a long time.

In theory a character who is headstrong but stupid, full of heart but not courage, and ready to face any challenge but isn't able to do it on her own, could be a great contrast to someone like Alphinaud who kind of had to go through some variants of these steps himself, and be an interesting character to see grow. But instead Wuk is just fucking boring because she exists more like a platform for the player to ride along to the end destination, despite it being HER story.

What part of the expansion was skipped do you not get? You saw it in Endwalker, that was the result of what would have been the Garlean expansion, that was the culmination of 10~ years of Garlean story, that is how it ended. Garlemald (The country, not the city) has been supplanted, overshadowed, there are and or were big bads and problems that overshadow it. As of Endwalker it no longer has a major role in the story, as do many other plot points, characters, and concepts.

>>737537896
You probably will in patches and side content, but not as an expansion setting.
>>
>>737538014

So which final fantasy are they going to cannibalize for their expansion this time? Or will they be daring and try something new for once? Also:
>New areas - theme park zones with quest hubs you'll never visit again after you're done
>New story - everyone will rush through and 90% will drop the game again after they're done
>New jobs - which fit into the same role molds offering no real distinction between jobs of the same roles
>New relics - here's a new zone to grind in
>New recipes - I'm sure the autists will be happy and no one else
>New outfits - I'm sure the trannies will be happy and no one else
>"New stuff" - it's the same formula over and over and over and over and over and over

See, an expansion is a storyline. A part of the world, a region, a country, can have multiple storylines happen in it. See all the questlines that happen in Eorzea. Your stupidity is insisting "Only the pre-EW canceled expansion plot can happen in Ilsabard" which is fundamentally tossing out the SETTING of the game like it's worthless when that's what a STORY builds on top of.

Part of XIVs issue with narrative is that it was based off the early seasons of Game of Thrones.
After GoT when to shot though, what are you basing your narrative on?

XIV went for the One Piece route and Dawntrail is essentially Skypeia, but I don’t get totally where 8.0 could go. Obviously the perfect story is Bahamian and Meracydia, but that’s the closing story to the whole game and they’re saving that.

I know you want to keep trying to gotcha that but you have to understand that when people say Garlemald or Garlean they mean everything, including the outlying regions and conquered territories.

If you want the most prominent reason it's twofold.
1) Americans had an anti-dietary fat craze in the 70's-00's that claimed dietary fat was killing them, leading them trying to remove it from all their mass-produced food.
2) American government subsidizes massive, unprofitable corn farming instead of multiple crops. This means that they make WAY more corn than they can use. The solution is to turn this into high-fructose corn syrup (pure sugar,) which then has to get used. The use by corporations is to stuff all their food with as much of it as possible. This actually ties into point 1, in that fat free food tastes bad, unless you stuff it full of sugar. But sugar is far worse for you than dietary fat. So here we are.

Ok I'll make sure to type out the entire statement every time I say Garlemald* to satisfy your brand of autism.

*Note: When this poster types "Garlemald" they are not only referring to the capital city, nor are they only referring to the country, but they are in fact using the term as a boarder statement that covers every land and region under the control of Garleans. This extends beyond the lore of Endwalker which saw the countries leadership removed and lands implode, meaning as such that it refers to not only the lands and regions Garlemald DID control but also the potential factions or subdivisions of former Garlean leadership that have formed post-Endwalker and now occupy said lands and or regions.

An entire expansion around garlemald is redundant. You would have had four extra locales of what, brainwashed people fighting for a dying nation?
On top of that, the themes of Garlemald and the amount of time you would have spent there would have worked as a subversion of the fantasy narrative themes.

What we got in 6.0 was fine. It didn’t need to be more than that.

I agree that it would be interesting but it's not exactly expansion focus material. What they did to Garlemald is a tragedy and one they will realize in hindsight as the game moves forward but they can't undo it. No one has a hateboner for Garlemald, people are instead realizing that the ending to their story was done off screen and that was it, it's done with.Yyou are purposely misunderstanding what people are saying because you have a hyperfixation and attachment to Garlemald.

There were originally twelve city-states each devoted to one of the Twelve. That got cut down pretty early to Ul'dah, Limsa, Gridania, Ala Mhigo, Ishgard, and Sharlayan. Then that had to get further cut down because of how badly they botched the development and the forced release window.

Is your definition of adventure restricted to high-stakes universe shattering shit? Because going to a new place, seeing new people, going into new dungeons and new wilderness is pretty adventurous.
>>
>>737539486
This, I don't want to explore new regions of the world, I want a REAL adventure reliving the greatest hits of my childhood, visiting Tifa in the Sector 7 slums, teaming up with Cloud to see all those cool locations I loved as a kid, and listening to One Winged Angel (I listen to it every day on my commute), now THAT's an adventure!

this expansion is mid because they tried to do an expansion that pivots between mudhutters and notAmerica but ff9.
it cant keep a tone and the mudhutter writing was pure slop how am I supposed to take this 3 hour taco making quest to become queen of the mudhutters seriously Yoshi P?

I would take this but only if it still plays like a melee dps that passively heals the party whenever you hit the enemy.

There, now it can be a tank and also play like a DRK. Only requires the team not to be cowardly faggots.

My definition is being presented a problem and going on journey to find the solution to it in a setting that is unsolved and interesting.

I don't want to spend an expansion, or even half of one, trapesing around the ruins of an irrelevant country learning about the local culture and how their poor feelings got hurt by being occupied by Garlemald. We did that in SB and it was barely tolerable, the only enjoyment came from the thought of "oh shit this might trigger a bigger scenario in the future". We also did this in DT in a setting that was free from all danger and it was boring as sin, and no while the writing was bad it was still the premise for the story that was the culprit. There is no meaningful reason, no defining objective, no wind that is pushing me or anyone else to need to explore Garlemald post-Endwalker.

I don't hate Garlean lore, I just understand that it was passed up.
>>
Obviously the next big multi-expansion story will be about finding a way to safely merge all the shards back to normal. And then in 10.0 it'll either put the game in maintenance mode or completely remake the world with all the previous shard locations on the source now, with the First ones combined into the ARR zones.

I wonder how long it will take, for people to realize that most things they seemingly disliked about the Dawntrail story and Wuk Lamat was already present in the Endwalker patches and Zero, but the defender squad for Zero will be way worse, because people project like 20 different things into her.

They had me for the entire Endwalker patch cycle getting those amazing pvp sets. Fierce Tyrant is still one of my favorite sets in the entire game. They didn't get me to sub once this entire fucking patch cycle when all they had to do was make one good pvp set for a series reward.
