Square Enix has already revealed pictures of a completely new area.

lol, The only thing similar about that zone and riverne is that they are both floating. Thats like saying Cape terrigan and Valkurm dunes are the same because they are both beaches. Might as well get rid of xarcabard and ulegrande (sp) range, the glacier already has snow, so those other 2 zones are just copies.

Also we already have Bastok, we don't need Windurst, San d'Oria Jeuno, Kazham, Norg, Whitegate/Al Zabhi or any other cities for that matter

I don't think anyone was complaining about zones being similar. People are concerned with whether or not the zone will be Riverne with a different skin. Your analogies are of zones that look similar but are clearly different zones. If I took Riverne and made the whole zone a different color, that wouldn't count as a new zone.

Even if it was Riverne, we already have Riverne A1 and B1, why can't we have C1 :P

As long as it wasn't physically the same zone, I wouldn't have anything to complain about. A01 and B01 look the same, but the 2 zones aren't identical to each other.

But the thing is it looks nothing like Riverne lol, aside from them both being floating rocks.

No one I've talked to in-game knows what I'm talking about when I mention this new area, and then there's this "hot" topic:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...eing-NEW-areas

Combined with me apparently being the only person on Quetzalcoatl to have noticed the new area revelation, I felt it necessary to beat people over the head and put it in the thread title and first post of the thread, so even the most oblivious and ignorant players have a decent chance of noticing.

That thread was first posted 7 months ago, and has since moved on to a new topic. Now, what's this you say about "stupidity and obliviousness around here"?

[Xellith]

New Areas is stuff like....
Great Southern Empire and the Island of Tsahya
Western Continent Ulbuka
Orcish Empire to the North
East Aht Urghan + Far Eastern Empire in Aradjiah.

NOT stuff like....

Tahronghi v2.0
La Theine v2.0
Pashow v2.0
Uleugerand v2.0

ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC

[Vize]

Xellith has it completely 100% right that is what we expect brand new zones to explore and lvl in not rehashed lazy work

i mean come on SE geez even heros zones of abyssea its a hassle to skillup to 95 cap for combat skills we need new areas for lv99 exping and skillups and i am sure new notorious monsters and good gear would be a nice touch to it

[Eurell]

But what is this a v2.0 of?

I get it if the complaint 1 brand new zone is not enough, but I do not get the complaint that this is a reskin of another zone, when the only thing it has similar to Riverne (which people are comparing it to) is that its flying.
