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

I can't stand the stupidity and obliviousness around here anymore. Look under February. Enjoy.

? you're posting this as if nobody knows about it already?

Kinda behind the times aren't we? What prompted this? AFAIK its the area for the dungeon crawl or whatever.

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:

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.

I suppose its possible people are mistaking it for a rehash of riverne, and TBH, it's still a possibility that it's still recycled and not really new. There's enough different about it that it could be more new than I and most people are likely giving it credit for. I suppose you're trying to show that sE fufilled it's promise that they can still add new areas. To be clear and fair, that 10GB allocation is not totally used up yet, but it reached a point where fragmentation on the hard disk was causing trouble for some console users trying to update.

Still if you want to call attention to something, better to do it in a less inflammatory way than you originally did before editing.

Seriously Its a new Zone, yes. But until its released its just a recolored Cape Riverne.

I hope i'm wrong and its new but i wont get my hopes up until its there.

And btw SE recolors are not 'New Zones' however you may call them, they are old.

Even if it's a new zone, I don't see it being anything more than a second Walk of Echoes. I hope I'm wrong and it turns out to be a real zone, but I highly doubt that it will be.

If it's a recolour of Riverne, it's not really new imo.

I don't really view that as being a new zone either. A new zone to me is an area we can enter without restrictions and where there are normal monsters roaming.
