I get the gist but this feels like a weird spot to land on
I love when the game carefully worldbuilds the setting. I just thought the actual world of Tural was broad but shallow relative to what we had before. The pacing was an issue but he had no comment about lack of tension?
『FF14』吉田直樹P/D、『黄金のレガシー』のストーリーのテンポについて「僕のディレクションとして良くなかった」と反省。
新しい土地や文化を丁寧に描こうとした結果、物語の進行が遅くなり、先へ進みたいプレイヤーの気持ちとかみ合わなかったという。
次期拡張『白銀のワンダラー』では、文化や生活の描写をできるだけサイドクエストに回し、後からじっくり楽しめる形にする方針だ。

It felt like Koana had nothing to do in the story because there were no problems arising from his outsider status and constant march for technological progress at the cost of tradition. He was quickly reduced to Wuk Lamat's big brother and nothing else, which felt less compelling
Yoshi P on, presumably, including characters/elements (like Gaia) in MSQ.
I don't quite get this logic once the content is done, and it also feels like you're limiting the main story in favor of the side stories?
Also surprised that it means the Twelve are just gone from MSQ
You'd think you could mine tons of narrative from a pantheon of twelve gods and how people relate to them. They still can, I guess, but you're just gonna have to not acknowledge that you know their nature and killed them...?
I admit that I was being cute with my Ysayle prediction. But, even if I'm wrong, I REALLY hope this one is true.
It would be such a cool addition to the setting if Hydaelyn had to deal with five realmships visibly floating in the air over old zones, depositing new cultures
What if the Garleans got their hands on electrope and fused it with magitek to make something terrifying? What if the realmships park over the Northern Empty, take refuge over Old Sharlayan, but nearby Aerslant feels threatened and relations between them and Sharlayan worsen?
I just remembered that Yoshi P mentioned that one of the big themes of Evercold will be unfreezing grief and I'm now realizing that my bargaining that this woman is our Ysayle instead of a lookalike is falling into the trap they'll probably break our hearts with
We never see exactly who the Shiva in the Alitiascope is, it doesn't say a name. When she died, she just kinda blipped out of existence with an ice explosion.
All of my predictions have been wrong, but I think / hope this is actually her, somehow
Other thought is that it shows the full realmship armada at the end. And we're still not seeing what gold light they're all heading towards. I still think, or at least REALLY HOPE, that we lead them out of the Fourth to the Source so it's not a bottle expansion.
