I highly doubt it means anything more than a new advertising/marketing endeavor, but the FFXIV YouTube added a video that's completely focused on the Nier crossover.

However, the last time they did something out-of-date on the channel was reuploading the 1.0 trailer before Endwalker, and FanFest is next week......

(Again, it's almost certainly nothing but me making weird connections.)

I once tried to make Ward just because. DRG is severely lacking in chonky enough spears though; I'd probably go for ShB's last tome weapon if anything.

Ah, being JP focused would explain why I didn't see anything new for Nier with a quick search. That was my first thought, but when nothing came up my brain made that connection and made me wonder.

The Nier raids will get the Crystal Tower treatment and be required for MSQ past Shadowbringers.
No explanation will be given as to why. We will continue to never see anything from them outside of the original quests.

The interesting thing to me about Merycydia is that the Warring Triad are like... themed after Near East esotericism and niche religion?

Sephirot is approximately kabbalah-themed, sort of, Sophia is doing some kind of gnosticism thing with her name and the demiurges, and Zurvan is named for a monotheistic (?) variant on Zoastrianism. So honestly it feels like if anything the cultural elements of Merycydia we've seen are approximately Persian/Babylonian, something like that. That is also, of course, the cultural context in which the name Tiamat comes from.

I never see anyone talk about the theme of the Triad but it's really clear to me!

Huh, this is really interesting! A quick glance at the Wikipedia page suggests that Zurvan in the real-world religious context is specifically a dispassionate neutral creator god who created both sides of the traditional Zoroastrian opposition? That definitely makes some of the FFXIV boss's dialogue click.

What I'd really be hoping to see from Meracydia is the living descendent cultures of the people we've only seen through Allagan shenanigans. This game is pretty good about having the tragedies of the past have continuing effects in the present even eras later, in ways that aren't just "oh those guys died," so I'm hoping that'd continue here.

No matter what direction they take Meracydia, I'd put money down on Sephirot's tree people being one of the tribe questlines.

I'm less confident on Zurvan's centaurs, just because as far as designs go that's sorta 'been there, done that', I could see them getting a goblin or qiqirn-style sideline because of it, but there's no way the developers would resist writing plant people, as if nothing else just weird locals that get a neat zone and sideplots. They're also a perfect group to have around if they're going for more of a wasteland-y setting, there's a lot of fun to be had from 'everywhere else is a desert; there's one area with plants, but here's the thing'.

Right, I have to confess I didn't know anything about Zurvan until I looked it up but it's *such* a specific and resonant reference.

I also do really hope they pick up some of the cultures that existed post-depravities of Allag.

Cannon.

My money's on a new and previously unseen weapon type for one job, and digging into weapons that haven't really seen widespread use for the second if there is one.

My dream is a staff melee or a whip caster/ranged.

Lets talk pie-in-the-sky expansion wishes.

If anything was possible, are there any announcements that would have you hooting and hollering in excitement? A specific class? location? feature?

For me, it would be if they announced a gear/glamour record like WoW's - once you've obtained the gear once, the appearance is permanently unlocked on your character and you don't have to keep it on hand or in the dresser.

- all expansion dungeons will have Criterion-style ex/savage versions
- beastmaster as a limited job with a pokemon-style battle arena in the gold saucer
- the debimbofication of DRK
- canonize the very funny fan ship of Krile and Rowena
