FFXIV: An Introvert's Hopes for Evercold Changes
Posted on August 22, 2026 by Aywren
While we got some more information about Evercold at the EU Fanfest, we barely scratched the surface in understanding more about the changes that I want to see. What kind of hopes do I have for the next expansion, and why do they belong to an introvert?
In this video, I talk about features that have been confirmed for Evercold, and what they can mean for a causal and more solo-inclined player like myself. Everything from earning weekly points outside of the dungeon roulette grind, to only needing one set of gear (as a casual) for all jobs, to the hope of more open world content in the… actual open world zones (not closed away in a separate instance).
That last one about the open world content is the biggest one for me. I’ve heard things from a recent interview with Yoshi-P that I find very interesting, but I think I’ll save that for a blog post all its own!
