Scars Of Abyssea Speculation

gee thanks debbie downer, guess the glass is less than half full huh?

I PL'd my mule from 30 to 75 killing imps on mnk and having the gimp mule leech. Nothing special happens in abyssea. What will necessarily happen is gimping of exp past 80, otherwise, what the point of getting the next expansions ? Getting new NMs to farm gear that will cap at 90 ? I doubt anyone would care.

Speculation:
*More Crazy good gear that looks awesome
i.e.) Grim Cuirass, that viking helmet...
*New Abyssea-esque Zones For Altep/Yhoathor/Xarc
-following teleport zones as mentioned earlier
*New Weaponskill editions
-most likely some more situational ones
-might have a few good dmg ones mixed in as well
*New Magian Quests for Relic/Empyrean/Mythic/regular trials
-like to see different augments that allow for multi-hit
versions on Relic-esque weapons
*New Magian Armor augment Quests
-Maybe augment salvage gear and some of that rare/ex
gear we've been storing forever along with former AF1/2
*New monsters/beastmen/introduction and actual new HNM
*Modifications to PW/AV drops
*A Limbus/Salvage/Assault(style) Zone for more endgame events
*New Synthesis/Synergy recipes
*More ways to obtain those harder-to-find crafting materials
*Job modifications+new abilities/spells
-new BST/Automaton stuff
*And obviosly Level Cap increase
-most likely involing a gathering quest of some kind...
*also...inventory increase would be nice too....
So thats my speculation ~ rather vague but I speculate that might happen...atleast some of it

new gear should be sufficient enough to make people care. obviously with a new expansion there will be better gear.

Remember that the Visions of Abyssea picture guy is of Adventurers falling from Atomos' Maw , but we havent seen anythign about Atomos even mentioned thru Abyssea . its possible that the WoTG req may have something to do with the Region Walk of Echos is part of (forgot what its called , the Something) . And while the Maws are part of WoTG too we may be also using Veritcal Confluxes from Current Abyssea areas to access the next set .

Most of this stuff is independant of abyssea...

Or is it....almost all that stuff can be included in Abyssea So...never know

As for areas, I think it'll be somewhere without a maw already in it. Since you have to have WotG, maybe Grauberg, Fort Karugo-Narugo, and Vunkerl Inlet.

I would like more missions and or new storyline, most of Abyssea is exp and items, small number of quests... Once you get all jobs to 80 and have some nice gear to it, what than? Need some missions to keep myself entertained lol, wish they would expand on the current storylines, would be nice ^_^

who said you get to talk?

Emotional Scars of Abyssea:
There will be epic battles and awesome rewards! But, just when you think the NPC is going to bless you for all your hard work, it will say, "To continue, please enter your purchase code for Final Fantasy XIV Online."

Are you an idiot? We still need BLMs for azure light...... lol

WELLLLLLLLLLLLL I WAS THINKN BRODERS THAT THIS HER NEW ABISEE LET BRODERS LIKE MEH THAT NEED GILERS TOGET THEMS BY PARDIN ON UPS IN ABISE-VULKERN DOONES KICK SOME GOBBIE *** AND GET DEM TO DROP THEIR GOBBIE BAGS!!!! GET EM GOBBIE BAGS BE LIKE OAAH!!! I FOUNDS 5K YO I AM RICH!!! SOMETHUIN LIKE THATS

Sounds accurate. I'll fax that over to HQ for you.

Maybe they'll add the long awaited time mage from the old WotG speculations lol

Walk of Echoes II

Don't ignore the storyline already in place. I highly doubt any of the current areas will have a higher level version, or that there will be areas in the past zones. The story of abyssea is that an alternate dimension has been taken over by vile creatures. With that being said, i would definitely have to speculate that if there is to be a new set of zones, it will be with current zilart or starter zones. It's true that mobs raise in levels as you kill, so i do agree that there will be no need for higher level abyssea zones, but i think atleast the NM's in these zones will be higher. I really do have to believe that there will be new zones with each expansion, if only to add new NM's for higher level gear as the level cap increases.Nonetheless, SE has already proven the first installment of the abyssea series to be well worth the $9.99 we spent on it, so let's just hope the others follow suit.

Agreed. I think the tiny scrap of storyline that we have already seen has a lot of potential to be awesome. It's almost scary to think about what they say in those CS's. About how there are only a handful of people still alive in their world and their numbers are diminishing. Kinda messed up lol.

CourierKrabkatoa! That'd be..... insane.

Try charming the Wyrm mobs in Abyssea-Tahrongi?? That would be awesome >.> i mean.. i don't think they're nm's.... and they're not beastmen either... so... charmable right? XD

That's all fine and dandy, but I want to take a sidetrack to this and give some of my own speculation a try.

I think they should give us Red Mages more enfeebling spells, and I'm not talking about Paralyze III.

Two spells I would love to see: Petrify and Amnesia.

Also, Refresh II.

Discuss.

Just made me think...

So basically, we paid 9.99$ for them to repackage dynamis.

Just the total opposite on the EXP spectrum. Instead of losing EXP, you gain it. Same storyline, too!

Personally I dont mind dishing out the 10 bucks for this. It gives new gear, better xp areas and minimal storyline (ive had it with epic CS's that drag on...and on...and on...and on....etc). As for the next expansion "speculations"....i'd like to see some of that there AF3 that SE talked about many moons ago.

Yeah that would be nice for sure! I understand, too, that a lot of the storylines have "ended," but why cant there be rank 12 or something for the cities? Or how about some more gardening! It seems like anything new mostly ignores existing content. I just don't know why.

It'd be fun to see a new job or two, as well.

Time Mage GO! Though the chances of that happening are slim to none.. But this is SE so anything is possible.

well i'd guess something to do with the past since it's called scars. but se does do things backwards.

Oh it's "Scars of Abyssea"? Rats, I was hoping they were putting in the Pagani Zonda and the Caterham 7. ;_;

Oh well, maybe next year.

SE seems to be in the mode of doubling up on zones (dynamis limbus shadowreign), a normal area and an alternate dimension, I doubt they are going to triple anything so that would rule out Abyssea-Dunes or other places that have a parallel universe already existing. That being said common sense would dictate that they just expand the existing Abyssea areas by simply opening up access to Ordelle's Caves, Gusgen Mines, and The Maze of Shakhrami.

Another possibility could be to have Abyssea maws in Yhoator, Altepa, Xarcabard, and quite possibly Ro'Maeve if they decide to stick along the Crags theory.

From the way the NPCs in the current Abyssea areas talk, they want to get back to the main cities from which they were cut off. For certain that would imply South Gustaberg, West Ronfaure, and East Sarutabaruta might be eligible for future Abyssea maws.
