I'd like that Dawntrail really focuses on the being an adventurer again and doesn't immediately throw us into a world changing disaster/event again. Lots of group content would be nice, just a bunch of adventurers having adventures together.

I dunno about a new housing district, but given the story with the Garleans right, I can definitely see a Garlemald Restoration happening at some point.

Yeah I think this expansion is gonna be pretty important. Everything from ARR to now has been working on the same overall plot. This expansion has to set the tone for the new arc, and do it well. And add more housing zones.

I hadn’t even considered picking a faction! That would be a great system to act as a replacement for grand companies as Dawntrail is supposed to act as a new spot to start in the game.

That would be dope! If we did that the story would likely have either choices coming together before the finality while also giving replay value in new game plus to see what the other path has.

I know this is probably never gonna happen, but i would love if they had restorations projects similar to ishgardian restoration, in every expansion, for a different zone each expansion. Imagine restoring a small part of the dravanian hinterlands or restoring that zone around camp bronze lake. Idk, small restorations that wouldn't have a massive impact on the msq that happens in that place, but significant enough for people to play it. It just feels weird saving the world but everything is left abandoned like nothing has changed.

To be honest, I did like Endwalker especially at the end when our avatar’s were mentioned at the end of the way of saying thank you. What a I am looking forward to Dawntrail is a fresh new content. I love Shadowbringers because it finally gave us the freedom to explore something fresh a new. I hope the new expansion has something similar to that. I love our avatar’s will get an upgrade. In addition, I like to see Final Fantasy 16 crossover event. Is it going to be a seasonal event like Final Fantasy 15 or will it be part of the main story. There is a lot of things I am looking forward too. I am just ready for a grand new adventure. I would like to see if the Scions are able to go to the 1st and rekindle with their relationship of each person they encounter within their travels. It is going to be exciting. We just have to walk forward and don’t look back. And look beyond the horizon.

Group life style content is confirmed, I personally like the exploration of hte variant dungeon paths (way more interesting than the endless mud of Bozja). Highly doubt the crossover will be part of the main story. Post EW patches are probably setups for future expansions/storylines.

Cross DC roulette queues would be awesome. As long as it was region-locked. When I played WoW, you always knew a dungeon run was going to be shitty if you saw Ragnaros or Quel'thalas players

Large scale PVE content and the fact that we're dealing with the Mamoolja a bunch immediately has me thinking about Besieged. In FF11 it was an event that would happen every few days I think where a large horde of Beastmen would invade a section of the city and players would have to fend them off. Maybe it will be under less dire circumstances for Dawntrail, like a ritual mock battle. I do think something like that is coming though with all the other things that seem to be tying this expansion to FF11.

6:26 And thus, AvyCatte became the face of all players on the Crystal datacentre.

I think they could fix bozja and eureka by turning the Dalriada, Baldesian Arsenal, lacus Latore and Delubrum reginae into variant dungeons while keeping the option to enter into the instance with a party. And perhaps remove the requirements to make them pop or make the required fates always open or something like that.

I recently returned to FFXIV as a semi new/returning player on Siren and have found it to be a bit quieter and a bit more lonely. Granted I know this is the pre-expansion lull; but, it does feel different. True, I'm playing catch up; but, not looking to rush either. Maybe it just the new outlook versus forgetting the bad from the first experience.

I think its almost certain they will focus more on group content with dawntrail To me post endwalker felt like them setting up systems for solo and since the entire story is now soloable i doubt they will focus much harder on it I joined at the start of endwalker and the ability to solo content really help me feel like i could do what i wanted when i wanted it But i do think the plan is to focus on the group content in dawntrail Sometimes you gotta starve to get a feast If i turn out to be wrong feel free to make fun of that statement lol

I remember when I started playing in Free Trial, almost nine years ago. I was at the Central Shroud when Ladeironette appeared... I saw a shout and went to see what was happening. I was a level 20 noobie bard and it was surreal for me to see so many players rushing towards the S Rank. I stayed watching the whole encounter and that day, was the day I fell in love with FFXIV.

Something I loved with Rift when it came out way back was the big raid type things that happened in the world map. It was like a fate but with a hundred players. Would love to see those here.

And you got it!

I expect Dawntrail to be what Stormblood almost was: an excellent world story that sets up a massive expansion to come. I say almost because, for me, Stormblood was amazing on the Doma side, and sluggish on the Ala Mhigo side. Gigakawa wrote the Doma half of Stormblood, and Banri Oda wrote the Ala Mhigo half. Oda is an amazing world builder, but Natsuko Ishikawa is the superior lead writer, which is why she got the lead from Shadowbringers on. Had she been the lead for Stormblood, I can't even imagine how much better it would have been received. When people talk about the good parts of SB, they're usually talking about the Doma half. Like I said, I love Oda as a world builder. FFXIV's lore is amazing and he's a huge reason why, but I'm glad Yoshi-P made the call to put Gigakawa in charge of the writing team. I expect Dawntrail to be Stormblood, but with Gigakawa in charge of it all, and that makes me very excited.

The "devide" of the Scions... myeah, no, I dont think it'll be anything dramatic. Just like what they about the "meaningful decision" we would make at the end of the Bozja/Zadnor questline... like, what "meaningful decision"? Our "decision" had no impact whatsoever, it was just flavor. I dont expect this to be anything other than that: flavor. Things I want? - Grafics update, more customisation options (more long hairstyles!! >.< ), more open world engagement, more mid-core stuff (something before Extreme: I've done ex and savage, and neither is... well, its not mid-core... nothing to bridge the gap between extreme and story mode). Anyway, thats my wishlist :)

I would love content where the enemy does a lot of damage and you have dps checks like in extreme but with more normal mode style mechanics.

I been curious when we'd get to this continent story wise. I am glad they seem to be taking an adventurers approach to this. I feel EW was a bit underwhelming in some ways, but I feel this is because the ideas they tried fell somewhat flat. We got the new deep dungeon we wanted, yet don't hear people talk about it. Criterion/Variant, great concept, the latest has a fun boss, and seems neat in concept. Just fell a tiny bit flat with the rewards til this one. So good idea, that I feel they can continue to build upon, and improve. Would of been better if they worked this in with my next item. Relics......they dropped the ball here, not in looks, but in how to achieve. I think steps for this should of at least had one tied to the variants/criterion. Maybe tie to the new deep dungo. Heck even add a bit tied to isle sanc. I feel this got a bit neglected, or was given a smaller team so they could do the graphics update, and hardware stuff. Could be wrong, but relics almost seemed an after thought this time. Granted I was happy with the Manderville quest line. Was fun, and everything i expect out of the quests/story. Isle Sanctuary is the last I going to touch on, as there are other things but they are personal nit picks. Isle sanc is another good idea, just not quite executed proper. I love my isle sanc, and they had something good here, just needs some polish. At the end, this game just needs more mid core activities as stated. Will see what Trail brings.

I really think there's little to complain about with EW. Hasn't its content been about the same with previous expansions? In the other expansions, after the story is done it's mostly about tying up loose ends in the aftermath of the main story. In EW, there is a mini saga after the main story in the form of Zero's story and the Thirteenth. Zero is a wonderful character and the Four Fiends and Golbez look amazing. The content is there, people just need to acknowledge it.

We are missing an entire part of content the form of Eureka/Bozja + it's story + it's raids. We also didn't get a sidestory like the four lords which is ok as the trials are part of the msq. I am aware we got the Island and Variant/Criterion. The reward structure for Criterion is a discussion on it's own but again sorta OK since it's their first try on this. I have issues with the scaling in Criterion. Unless you are already a Savage raider with onpoint mits the Criterion dishes out a bit too much damage as you almost need BiS to get through, Just lower the Ilvl-sync by 10 and adjust the numbers. It's totally fine you need BiS for the Savage but it's a bit too taxing for non-raiders. Another issue that exists is that the Variant is a kinda one and done thing after you cleared all paths. I would have loved to see a Variant-Dungeon-Daily Roulette.

Hold up you’re in Crystal? I am too and I do have a house, a medium in fact, in Ishgard. So I understand your pain on trying to get it but I believe in ya you can do it AvyCatte.

I do love your stocking hat. Did you have it specially made to go with your Miqo’te avatar within the game? It’s cute on you.

I think we will see more mid-core content in DT. What Endwalker did for hardcore and casual progression and content needed to happen. Now they've got things like criterion and the island sanctuary to expand upon, the msq can be done with trusts (I think? are the trials still group content?) And will almost certainly continue that way into Dawntrail. They had to expend a lot of effort and development time setting these all up, and now that it's all implemented it can now just be part of the expansions processes to expand, freeing up development time to developing new concepts.

Thank you for making this. I feel the Expan needs more MMO less solo, this is the start of a new Arch. all you wanted is close to my list. one thing I miss is class quests T^T

I want to be able to buy an apartment in Amaurot with a big window on the wall overlooking the cityscape.

i actually don’t mind the focus on solo, as i have some anxiety playing with folks, but i definitely recognize that’s my own thing to deal with. i’d love to see green mage as a class; our WoL getting a damn chance to relax; more opportunities to hang out with the scions one on one, things like that. it’s pretty exciting to see what will come next!

Whats is the song at the start of the video from?

I dunno.. the only real difference for me between endwalker and shadowbringers is the lack of Bozja... otherwise I'd say we got the same if not more content?.... Most of these videos feel really wierd to me, FFXIV has had a very form fitting patch content cycle since it's release so it feels wierd that players who have been playing for years are suddenly... feeling like it's lacking? Dunno maybe just me misunderstanding things. Most people I play with didn't like Bozja or Eureka, and I heard a lot of complaints online and from certain creators as well in regards to this content. And well, maybe they listened and decided to do other stuff in Endwalker as a result? I have no strong feelings for or against content like Bozja, I like it well enough that I'll do it, but I feel like they could instead make a more dynamic open world zone with more involved fates etc... Would be more fun IMO. And this whole seperate lvling system they often put in place always feels really wierd...

They make it sound like this is the start of a new multi-expansion story to me. I don't really want self-contained expansions cause every other mmo I've played that does that tends to just forget about them down the line. FF14 definitely builds on what came before and remembers the past even if there's no new content in that area for a while, there's still references back to it.

If you played WoW, remember the open world bosses? Sometimes with zone events or invasions? Just a thought, if you are thinking about something open world/new in FFXIV. Also....remember way back when Yoshi P. said something big was going to happen at the start of 7.0 that would change the FFXIV world? I think we are in for....surprises.

As someone who mostly plays alone because most of the people I used to play with have moved on, EW has left me with even less to do than ever before. The only things I really got was a new deep dungeon, and the island sanctuary. I had more fun in Eureka/Bozja as solo content than what we have now. I get that the focus of the solo development was towards new people being able to experience the story as a solo game. But beyond that I feel like EW was actually the least solo friendly FF14 experience AFTER the MSQ is finished since Stormblood (I can't speak for ARR and HW, I wasn't playing then.)

Hopefully it's essence smells like strawberries 🍓 😌

Dawn Trailor

Yea totally agree. The lack of overworld content and Exploration content in general really hurt EW.

My 7.0 combat wishlist _Remove positionals_ I love this melee dps feature, but modern boss design doesnt work with it anymore. Bosses will randomly turn with zero warning to do a mechanic etc. True North bandaid to their own problem. Notice many expansion bosses are full circle? Exactly _Dmg from movement actions_ I'd like the dmg to be removed entirely, from backflips and gap closers. Example of RDM backflip action, some do it to keep up dmg only to fall off a cliff. Later devs added a melee version of backflip to compensate but like True North, just a bandaid to problem they started. So the dmg from these actions gone, put that dmg on jobs other oGCDs instead. _Speed & Skill Speed_ I want it to be universal, its literally the same thing, just named differently, so call it Attack Speed instead. Also have the GCD be a set amount across the board based on the class/job itself. MNK GL being baked in as a passive trait lowering GCD in higher levels. And SAM cast time for its 3 symbol single target attack is fixed no matter the LV or skill speed, similar things. _Offensive Stat names_ Same as Attack Speed; Strength, Intelligence, Mind, Dexterity. They all do the same thing, being a damage stat. Its very reduntant, so change it to "Attack Power". Yes I know this muddles STR and DEX gear, but can still have unique gear to suit said role sub types. _Tenacity_ Its a dead tank stat, either remove it or finally fix it. Honestly I'd rather they make Parry be its own individual visual stat while tanks have a higher amount than dps and healers. DEX is kind of a parry stat in its description but not by much. _Button Bloat_ A lot of actions having a single target version and an aoe version is often asinine. Like Energy Drain/Energy Siphon, while PLD spirits within merely upgrades to an aoe version. Then theres GCD combos having their own buttons, despite PVP making it be one button, bring that to PVE too. _Accurate Percentages_ Show how much of a stat improves base game increases. If your Crit Hit is X number, how how much your crit rate % is from it. All this will remove how cluttered the stat menu is having same thing repeatedly throughout. Edit: i totally forgot to mention the healing problem lol. Issues being since ShB simplified healer dps actions being, 1 SR, 1 dmg aoe, 1 dot. Then theres often not much to heal, many fights can go without a single heal used, tank self heal is enough. Seen some healers bored actually hoping fight goes wrong to heal something. Finally the GCD heal VS oGCD heals, you have healers only doing oGCD heals letting party HP be bone dry to use GCD heals as last resort. Or like WHM job gauge, being GCD heal focus, and have blood lily dmg aoe to try and make up for GCD heal dmg loss but again like True North etc, made a problem with bandaid fix. Idk how to change FF14 healing for better honestly 🤔

While the idea of having people play together more sounds great, I always have a hard time of imagining what that is supposed to look like outside of limited player number raids and all. If you got Mechanics that are too involved, people will resent each other when they fail, if you don't have mechanics or limited player numbers, it's just a non-stop explosion of AoEs with no danger to anyone or necessary thought

When have your videos been non chaotic?

We all know the hrothgirls are coming. They keep saying we are going to see hrothgar settlements. The last hrothgar settlement we saw was bhozja, and we were too busy evicting to garleans to find the hrothgirls. Now we are on vacation. They have no excuse to hide the cat moms!!!

I expect female hrothgar.. if they aren't included at launch, then SE can kiss my sub money goodbye.

I can definitely feel the solo stuff draining players from leveling content. If you aren't playing at peak time the que for leveling content is much longer. On top of that sword master P is constantly reminding us that ffxiv is considered an "morpg" not an "mmorpg" further justifying their attempts to add more solo activities.

I do think that EW's MSQ was mediocre at best since 6.0 and nothing so far has got me looking forward to DT's MSQ,which is sad. At least everything else that have been said about the expansion and how it will have lots of content for everyone makes me not give up on this game... yet.

Really the biggest problem with the Endwalker launch content from my experience has been the severe lack of core content afterwards. The Blasphemies are introduced twice and then never seen or heard of again, Meteion included. And the role quests ABSOLUTELY SUCK. The Rewards sucked, the story were just kinda there, and the fact we weren’t required to do them like with Shadowbringers killed any praise I gave.

I just want to enjoy playing healers again. I am so tired of my gameplay being reduced to one button spam. Please, the devs "simplified" the role back in ShB to "rebuild" it from its foundations. It's been 4 years almost and we still press our Nuke thrice as much as the rest of our spells and abilities combined. Gives us some variety in our filler. I don't want another situational "Hey reduce damage for 10seconds ability" that we get to use once very minute or so. Give us an active choice on what to cast next rather than forcing us to always default to another cast of Glare.

I want more actual gameplay and less just cutscene after cutscene with basically no actual gameplay. More dungeons, more dungeons, just more midcore content. Don't get me wrong I love the story but Endwalker was just wayyyyyy too much story and basically no gameplay between dungeons.

no thanks i want to live on the moooooon
