Do you have hope for Destiny's story post Final Shape?
*yes I know there's a typo in the options, you can blame my phone's auto-uncorrect.
Do you have hope for Destiny's story post Final Shape? Tell me why?
Me personally, as foolish as it sounds, I will say I have hope for Destiny's story following the Final Shape. If it's anything I have noticed, it's that sone of Destiny's best storytelling seems to happen when it's not clearly attached to the overarching narrative but rather expands something which was previously vague (Forsaken is an excellent example), and thus I think being free from the confines of the Light vs Darkness saga will be a breath of fresh air.
There are so many directions one can go without the plot points of tge Witness and company looming overhead. Destiny is a game full of plot hooks and unanswered questions so I doubt the Witness will be the final threat we face.
We still have Xivu Arath to deal with, how the Taken and Scorn are going to be affected following the Witness's defeat. There's also Eramis and her followers to worry about, heck the Shadow Legion and unallied Cabal may find a new leader and strike again. There's Mara's Ahamkara egg, the mysterious Aphelion that's some ancient unknown and unseen enemy of the Awoken. I cannot count number of players who would jump for joy to see some story development on SIVA. Beyond that there's the FRIGGING NINE-
My point is there's tons of stuff the writers could grab and run with, so much untapped potential provided they actually take the time you go through their mountain of plot hooks and unanswered questions. Seeing questions finally get answers tends to be a keystone of every great dlc that Bungie has produced for Destiny. Every great story usually starts with the question: "what if?" And if there was time to ask that question of it would be immediately following the Final Shape.

It really depends on what they do. Arguably after Final shape’s year we should be forced to make a new guardian. Let our current one become a legend spoken of but they’re to important. Of course that would probably take them making D3 but I feel like after final Shape’s year maybe it would be more acceptable to take a break from the constant content and make that big of a move. At that point it would be a question of funds which we don’t know if they have for such and endeavor. Having to start as a new guardian would also make the reset that comes with a new game easier for players to stomach. If we just stay as the same guardian I’m not sure how well things will go. At what point have you taken on such a big enemy casual enemies would seem a joke to be fighting?
