2.2 Speculation

[Therese]

So, we are currently one month or so (give or take a couple of weeks) and I was wondering what you're thoughts are on what the new in-game content will be? Now, obviously we know tidbits of the stuff that will show up: Leviathan Hard Mode, new Coils runs, Amdapor Keep, and new Tomestomes.

 

But what about the stuff they haven't told us about?

 

Some of my thoughts:

 

 

Since the next area is going to be called "Into the Maelstrom" I think it's obvious that we're going to see a lot more of Limsa this patch. This means, among other things:

 

I think we're going to see more of the Sanguine Sirens and the The Krakens pirate crews. I think their introduction in the Valentine's Day event was entirely intentional as it's intended to point to them and say "here's a flavor of these two. They'll become important soon." These guys (especially the Captains) were actually pretty prominent in the Limsa Lominsa storylines in 1.0, and I would love to see them used more.

 

I also think, and man am I crossing my fingers here, that we'll see a new class: Musketeer/Gunner. Limsa Lominsa has high tie-ins with double-barreled pistols and the Knights of the Barracudas have them in their employ. Opening up Limsa further seems likely, but I'm starting to get worried that if this was true they'd want to advertise it more. :c

 

Also a tie in with the Limsa theme is Satasha (Hard Mode). Though I still have no idea how this would work since the storyline as of right now is sketchy.

 

Finally, in the category of things I'm fairly sure we'll see is Good King Moggle Mog XII (Hard Mode). I think we had our first touch of this and that the newest iteration is going to feature the Moggles more, giving each of them knew skills that may have us change our priorities a bit.

 

A "doubtful" thought would be the first Ascian introduced in FFXIV: Travanchet

He was highly involved with the plot to have the Sahagin summon Leviathan, but got lost in the transition to 2.0. So, as far as I can tell it would either mean that he will get introduced now if he ever gets introduced at all.

 

 

 

 

So, what are your ideas?

Weeell they told us pretty much anything in the live letter. I obviously now forgot half of it, as I watched it live and never touched it again but

 

Also a tie in with the Limsa theme is Satasha (Hard Mode). Though I still have no idea how this would work since the storyline as of right now is sketchy.

They said already the new HM dungeons will be Halatali and Brayflox, I doubt there's others hidden. So no Sastasha.

 

 

Musketeer doesn't seem so close, and I'd guess when it's coming out they'll make a big deal out of it, not just ninja it in at last minute.

 

 

Finally, in the category of things I'm fairly sure we'll see is Good King Moggle Mog XII (Hard Mode).

I think they said it will be in, yes.

 

 

Also new beast tribes quests and many other things I forgot <.<

Hrm. I need to go dig up that live letter, it would seem. :3;;

 

EDIT: Okay, caught up. I can still dream, though. (At least my storyline stuff may still be a possibility...)

Any surprises will be small, going by previous patches. Yoshi-P likes to show us things! I don't doubt Musketeer is in the works as we speak - the guild has teased us since 1.0 - but I'd guess we won't see any new classes or jobs until the first expansion, whenever that may be.
