I'd just go ahead and redeem what you've got from the series, but not worry about spending it. They aren't going to make crystal trophies an outdated currency without major announcements ahead of time. It's possible you might not be able to redeem it after the series is restarted, though.

I'm pretty sure they've said that the Crystals are just going to be permanent as a part of the anti-FOMO of being able to buy this season's track rewards next season using the same currency, but I suppose I could be remembering wrong!

I'm capped and have like another 3k sitting in the series. I can't redeem anymore without spending, which is why I'm asking if there's anything cool to buy.

"You are familiar with the War of the Lions, no?" Oh my loving god I love that story. "No no not that War of the Lions, I mean this other one that's totally different with the same name." That might be ok I guess. "Ramza and Montblanc are huge dickheads." Oh... Well those alliance raids were gorgeous! I bet this will have a big impact on our war against the Garleans. Ivalice seems big and will be a great ally to have. Can't wait to see where this goes. Then Shadowbringers started. Maybe I'll get to visit in EW or a future expac.

Though side quest stuff can influence other side quests; you have to do Ivalice to unlock the Shadowbringers relic quests, for example.

The HW and StB raids feel like they should have some impact on the world or where the overall story goes. I'm guessing different writers? Also like, are Alexander, Omega and Eden not going to come up again? If so I feel kind of silly holding off on post ShB to finish those up.

alex and omega will crop pop up in importance here and there, although mostly in further side content. eden doesn't really, but I'd suggest doing it in parallel to shadowbringers postgame anyway.

The StB 8 man raid is just now having side quest continuation in EW and soon the HW 24 man will too. So side quests will be referenced in side quests, but almost never in the MSQ.

That's kind of a bummer but good to know wrt stakes. Don't have to worry about bad guys getting a hold of Alexander or whatever in the MSQ. Thank you for the straightforward and honest explanations.

And I get it, I felt the same way, but they have to write the MSQ as if no one does the side content. (Again, Crystal Tower being the huge bolded exception cause Ishikawa) Still the sidequests are all good self contained stories and expands world lore so they're still absolutely worth doing, and add little cameos and added dialogue in EW! Also like Vitamean said also ties into relics here and there if that's your jam TheWorldsaStage fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Aug 18, 2022 |

They'll still write the MSQ as if the side content still occurred though for the most part. Like why Gaius skips out in Endwalker. And the Ivalice events basically detail out what's going on in FFXIV's version of Dalmasca and the IVth legion, which we're unlikely to actually go to in the future but there's always an opening there considering characters keep saying we'll meet again. They just won't opening reference it barring a few things here and there. The 8-man raids serve as the character arcs for Cid and friends in particular, with Shadowbringers weaving that into Bozja.

The knowledge Cid and the Ironworks crew gained from being involved with Alex and Omega stuff was key to the whole time travel to another shard plan. It comes up in the datalogs on the ground in The Twinning, and the dungeon's boss was basically a model of Alexander they created to help make the plan work. You basically get sent in to destroy it so that nobody else can try to do anything funny with the technology. Not 100% sure on the details here so would appreciate any corrections or additional info.

side content can also influence small dialogue changes or events in other quests. it's neat enough that I think it's worth doing blue quests as you see them unless you're just not having fun with that branch of content, cause it's kinda cute to see an npc you recognize from a job quest eons ago pop up in zadnor or something.
