I wonder if they're really coming out with a new expansion so soon... o.O

Is that a city in the sky?

Wow you people fail at internets.

Also, wasn't there already an FFFF08? Although that moogle shield makes me never want to return.

Probably around the time of the next expansion/game bundle

That is most certainly not the Chateau. After looking at it some more, it'd pretty clear that it's not 4 cities in that picture, but two. The one on the left is definately Aht Urghan in some way as they're the only nation that uses those triangular banners. It may not be Whitegate or Al Zahbi, but it's somehow related to them. The one on the far left is nothing more then a mirrored image of the one next to it. The one on the right seems almost Windurstan...but I don't recall any towers in Windurst looking like that. Infact I can't really recall any towers in general. And again, the two images on the right are of the same place, just viewed at different distances.

I've had a feeling for a while that the next expansion will be in regards to the Southern Isles. This pic is just another push in that direction as Aht Urghan is directly linked to the southern islands and the Mithra would more then likely have similar architecture to Windurst, as seen by Kazham.

Do you think there will be an new expansion?
Do you guys think that we will see more of the "past"
Do you think we will see the FAR east?

With so many people trying out the 14 day free trial, combined with the changes to lvling, now is a great time to return. But I wouldn't rush to 75 and ignore everything else if I were you. There's plenty of fun things to do at lower lvls and you should take your time and enjoy the game for what it is. This game isn't going anywhere for a long time.

Also, I take back my crazy, crack pot idea of what the pic is off. Apparently it's the ramp from south Sandy to north Sandy in the past and the other is Windy waters, again, in the past.

...I never really spent any time in those cities >_>

1. Why do you keep asking this? You've already started up again, can you not evaluate for yourself whether or not you're enjoying the game? You don't need anyone else's permission to like or dislike it in its current state. If everyone says yes or no, will that really change your personal impressions?

2. The higher your rank, the longer Signet lasts. So there's that. Rank 5 = Airship as well, which is handy as hell (you can pay for the pass, but doing that instead of the missions is stupid). You'll probably also want to do some of the WotG and ToAU missions just for access to certain features (teleportation from ToAU areas to home city/Jeuno, runic portals, mog locker, Campaign, etc.).

Mostly, though, what the hell has any of that got to do with the topic of this thread?
