A recent interview GameSpot with Yoshi-P stated that they were going to be "subverting expectations" and that we should "get a refresher on Heavensward".
Quote:
GS:Are we going to be in Garlemald soon? We've seen a little bit of it in story moments with Estinien and Gaius but are we going to start seeing more and actually going there?
Yoshi-P:In that aspect, I think we'll be able to go against players' expectations in a good way. Content that's coming in the patch 5.3 series, there's the Sorrow of Werlyt, the latest installment in the weapon series, where you're actually fighting against the forces of the Garlean Empire. In Save the Queen, the Bozjan Southern Front is an upcoming instance that really touches upon the Garlean Empire.
Of course, it's not quite the main story but it is a pretty significant story...
At first, I believed that we would be heading to Garlemald at long last and putting a stop to the war once in for all as well as wrap up the story with Hydealyn and Zodiark. But with that last interview, after looking into theories, the only ones I could see were Meracydia and Sharlayan. Now Meracydia and the New World would both be amazing stories to cover in later expansions. But they feel more like they would best fit for the second chapter of the WOL/WOD story after Garlemald. And my only problem for Sharlayan is that its such a small island which means that we are almost certain to be getting two places if Sharlayan is added in.
What do you all think? Where do you believe we're heading to next and what do you think will be waiting for us there? I'd love to bounce some ideas around.
