Will we ever explore Tavnazia?

[Okosego]

This month's login campaign features a painting of Blueblade Fell, the part of Lufaise Meadows that overlooks the conquered city of Tavnazia. This got me thinking of the city and the opening cutscene of the game again, and it reminded me that I've always wanted to explore this city. I was dreaming that as part of the 20th anniversary they would maybe add that area as a new explorable area. But alas, it did not happen.

Do you think we will ever be able to explore this amazing part of Final Fantasy XI history?

We already have? An entire expansion was centered around it?

We have never been to the original Tavnazia that was destroyed in the opening cutscene.

This question was asked during the recent reddit AMA and Yoji Fujito answered something along the lines of "I'd like to go there, too!"

That's just the city. the entire region outside of it is already in the game. We'd need more than just a city. "I'd like to go there" also doesn't mean "we will go there." It's most likely too late for that.
