Thank you so much for watching this video.
My channel is focused on player perspective content, gameplay, theory’s and importantly game lore for Final Fantasy XIV.
As this channel has grown my goals have evolved but ever do they remain the same, the creation of videos that mean to bring a smile to a viewer’s face or provide them with even one piece of useful information.

I mean to live up to these goals and the time you have taken to watch my content.

  1. SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T FINISHED THE EDEN RAID SERIES

    During the Eden series, we saw the Empty transform from a dead, lifeless void into a place teeming with life, again. I feel like we're going to see what happened to The Empty, but on a massive scale with the 13th. I wouldn't be surprised if 7.0 is a combination of Meracydia and the reborn 13th.

  2. The New World can be seen from Mare Lamentorum, I would be lying if I said that continent wasn't massive.. seeing it spin around slowly, I got an idea of just how much land is actually there.. It's easily North and South America.

  3. I'd like to explore Etheirys after all the shards rejoin! We might be able to find a way for them all to rejoin without killing all the people there! The cloud of fog over the Garland area needs to be removed! We can help Garland rebuild its Main city like we did for Ishgard after the Dragon War! I am so excited for the future of my favorite MMORPG! FFXIV is the best MMORPG forevermore! Great vid, keep up the great work!

  4. 12:54 wasn't it announced when Bozja was current that anything else Ivalice / Dalmasca is off the table due to JP not liking the Ivalice storyline? I believe it was one of the Field Notes were changed to reflect the decision to write everything off and leave it there.. Yasumi Matsuno put a stop to it.

  5. I honestly want them to go to the Dalvalan Grath/Tail Mountains, so we can get to see more of the Steppe Tribes, as the Xaela pretty much are the only ones who have been into those areas frequently, and the mountain tribes are supposedly bonkers. As well as possible hints to the predecessor Au'ra race that predates the split between Xaela and Raen, which are supposedly differently colored in scales.

  6. One thing that confuses me and I don’t understand. There’s was 14 versions of our world. But what’s the logistics of that in regard to space. Does that mean there’s 14 versions of the universe?

    Is it like a pocket dimension where everything outside the reflections are the same and from the outside you would see Ethyris ? Like the reflections are overlapping our reality but on a different plane so once you leave the plane i.e. go to space, you would be in the universe that Ethyris and Eorzea exists?

  7. Looking at the world map, I can't help but wonder why the WoL and company didn't stop at Thavnair when they were traveling to Kugane during Stomrblood… probably would have saved them some effort (and upsetting their stomachs in Endwalker.) We start from Limsa and travel past the Sea of Jade and into the Sirensong Sea, so I got to wonder why a quick pit-stop in Thavnair couldn't happen… outside of the gameplay reasons why. :3 Sorry, nit-picky, I know, but seeing all the places labeled just makes me stop and say, "huh."

    But regardless of where we go next, I'm sure it'll be fun and exciting.

  8. I agree, FFXIV should open area's that are in-accessible. Because there's a whole map of places to go that for some reason we can't. They're closed off. I'd love to go there and see what they bring to life on those places. Just as anyone with a good imagination would. 😉😊

  9. There's several places we could end up going next:
    1. the rest of Ilsabard (maybe to re-stabilize the nations that were all conquered by Garlemald)
    2. Meracydia (to continue Tiamat's seemingly forgotten story thread)
    3. the New World to the west of Eorzea (maybe we'll finally get a Blue Mage LB)
    4. the mysterious land across the ocean to the east from Hingashi (that is explicitly not the New World)
    5. the Thirteenth (in attempt to return it to how it was, like what we did in the First)
    6. or even the other surviving Reflections

  10. I feel like we're going to Meracydia, Corvos, South seas with Corsair as new scouting class. The treasure isles would be the treasure dungeons, floating from ice rift to ice rift instead of choosing doors.

  11. I think some of these zones would be better exploited as exploration forays, especially the dead civilizations because if nobody's there how much MSQ and side quests can you get out of it? Shifting this to a long-term exploration zone, spawning fates with ancient monsters, learning ancient spells and maybe craft relic weapons with ancient parts could be a better use of that lore in my opinion.

  12. If I don't see the Lalafellin homeland, I will riot in the streets.
    On that note, the homeland of the popoto would be amazing as well! Honestly all of these pics could take multiple expansions to discover which means years of more gameplay!

  13. Because of the Formula 1 Big Continent with 6 Areas per Expansion only "The New World" or "Meracydia" makes the most sense to me to serve as an Expansion Area. Meracydia is atm my best bet for 7.0 with the Prep for War in the current Patches and the Outbreak then in 7.0. But even the other Areas would be make really good Content.

    -Blindfrost as a updated Version for the Criterion Dungeons in 7.0
    -South Sea Isles as Extension for the current Island Sanctuary Questline.
    -Farreach a new Deep Dungeon/24 Raid Questline

    Maybe Nagxia,Dalmasca and Hingashi could combined also purpose as an Expansion Region cause there are all really close together.

  14. I just want to go to Ilsabard proper if only to get rid of the clouds on the world map. It’s kind of silly that they are still there and even on maps that are in universe. The fallout of the Garlean Empire and the status of its territories is the biggest plot thread aside from the void that hasn’t been fully resolved, so it makes sense to deal with that soon in order for us to have a relatively clean slate going into any completely brand new unrelated storylines

  15. so not much of a theory but more of a concept I think would be cool to explore. one of the reflections has the Eorzean races and beast tribe races swapped. To the major cities are run by Amaljaa, Ixal, etc. while our races are considered the outsiders.
