Moon + Endwalker. Don't tell me this title is not a partial nod to Moonwalker!

We're going to the moon baby!

Judging from the teaser. looks like we're getting the FFXIV version of the Lunar Whale. This may be what is hidden in Mor Dohna that Midgardsormr was protecting.

Release is Fall 2021. (Fuck you China!)

Story:

Preventing the second coming of end of days. This will be the end of the Hydalyen/Zodiark storyline. We are taken to the moon to stop Zodiark. Story ends at 6.0. FFXIV will not end.

6.1 begins a new adventure.

Do not fret! Yoshida is sticking around, views FFXIV as his lifes work unless SquareEnix president tells him to step down.

New Job classes.

Sage -Healer Type (this will be Alphinaud's new job, he will pick this up in 6.0 through the story)

-Uses Aether-embued Weapon, Nouliths (definate nod to Funnel/DRAGOONS/GN FANGS from Gundam depsite what Yodhida said. G-Warrior is big enough evidence Yoshida is deriving ideas from Gundam)

-Able to briefly self-augment own abiltiies.

-No Job requirements

-Starting Level is 70

-Will be retooling Astrologian to make it a pure healer and better distinguisehed from Barrier healers . This will be effected in the party finders

-Job will be offered in Limsa Lominsa

TBA in May (Necromanser? From Yoshida's t-shirt) -Melee DPS

Level Cap raised to 90

New Regions:

Thavnair - This island is located between Eorzea and Orthard. Can be seen on the world map. We will be exploring the entire island. The Dancer attire and job class originates from this island according to Lore.

Second region...

We've made it Mr. Frodo. We've made it to Mordor!

Garlemald: The Capital is in ruins a result of infighting.

Moon (TBA)

New Hub
Smaller town:�
Radz-At-Han (I am reminded of Lindblum, only no airships) Town is built on a mountain and outer regfions fo it are not supported by the ground. Definately has some Middle-eastern inspiraiton in the architecture.

Larger Town TBA

New Beast Tribes:

Matanga: These appeared at the Azeme Step. (Big blue elephant people) The tribe we are meatting is more peaceful.

Other tribes (TBA) Lunarians hinted?

Yeah I was the same, as soon as I saw that logo, I immediately thought LUNAR WHALE.

So yeah, looks like we're going full on FFIV here - Derplander goes from DRK to PLD. Giant airship flying to the Moon. FFIV Rosa/Edge/Rydia minions and FFIV Lunar Whale mount from the digital Fanfest. And what's the betting Zenos absorbs Zodiark and becomes Zemus/Zeromous? (Zenus?Zenomous?Zenoark? :P).

Also it's funny, when they said new healer, due to the aforementioned FFIV references I just thought 'Sage' - imagine my delight when that's exactly what it was? :P Not yet a fan on those weird blades they use, but I have to at least give them props for originality (even though Alphinaud's version seems to use them more like guns). Second Job is a melee DPS but that won't be revealed til April/May, although hinted to be a scythe user by that Grim Reaper tshirt Yoshi wore (but of course, that could be just a red herring).

Also looks like Garlemald goes to hell in a handbasket - literally. Kept thinking of FFVI and Kefka's Tower (even though Hell!Garlemald is actually more like Pandemonium from FFII and Garlea (the capital of the Niflheim Empire) in FFXV.

I admit I got really pumped seeing Aphinaud, Alisaie and Derplander in his fancy PLD armour fighting FFXI dark dragons in a burning Floating City of Nym, so Eorzea is probably getting torched by Zenos and his Ascian pal. I wonder how this would be reflected in open world however (at least we know now what those weird towers appearing around the world in patch 5.4 are for now).

And I'm glad Lahabrea is back, because I always felt cheated out of killing him in the Singularity Reactor by Thordan. It's going to be sweet. :P

Either way, a lot of questions still unanswered, but we'll find out soon. :)

TEH DISCORD CREW~

After Shadowbringers I have nothing but faith in the development team, writers, etc.� This should be awesome.

Now, I don't think that 6.0 ending the current storyline means that Eorzea will be destroyed or anything like that.� I'd figure we'll just go off on a new journey with a standalone plot, like FFXI's Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urghan, etc.
Also, I dunno about that belt thing.� I main Dragoon, and as such don't really have a free hand to hold my pants up while fighting.

Perhaps not surprisingly, given Yoshi's perfectionism, launch and early access have now been delayed to beginning of December:

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/543305a31fe801d5df3a29ef2cea581e00b46761

Which I'm glad, as it gives me a chance to get caught up!

Also, launch trailer has gone live, which...asks more questions!

Youtube link as the video play function seems to be broken ; ;

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.

Anima looks monsterous, fittingly (although no sign on the Magus Sisters as far I could see, unless that's Mindy's voice saying about "relieving your burdens")
Venat/Hydaelyn finally shown (assuming the 'Lady of Light' is her)
Ancients shown as actual people (with hair and faces under their masks), rather than the featureless drones Emet depicted them as Unknown Garlean Legatus in FFXII Judge Bergan armour inside a locomotive cab (Doomtrain?)
Is that Crystal World I see?
FFVII Remake 'Time Jannies?'
Zenos being the smarmy bastard as usual (apparently capturing the WoL and browbeats them)
Fannyboy taking a leaf out of FFXI's book with the whole 'Gate of the Gods' thing
Surprisingly, no Lyse or Gaius shown.... that doesn't bode well for them
Zodiark finally shown in the flesh so to speak
Emet being overly theatrical in his voiceovers, as usual :p

Damnit, I can't wait til December Yoshi, why must you torture us! :D

So... 6.1

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.

Fucking Golbez and the Elemental Archfiends incoming!

Just completed the first of the new raid series. Definately had some Greek God vibes in this one. Can't wait to see what the other eight are like later this year.

Also, as to their identities, I am leaning towards them being...

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.

The twelve who sided with Venat, agaisnt the Convocation, and summoned Hydaelyn. The forms they take are of the same Creation Magic that Emet'selch/Hades used

There werer 14 members of the Convocation. If my memory serves me correct, Azem took neither side having friends on both.

The other 13 memebrs of the Convocation summoned Zodiark with Elidibus becoming the Heart of Zodiark. The Convocation then became the Ascians number 12 Overlords and 1 Emissary.
