We solved all problems forever between the nations and the allied societies at the end of Endwalker. Yes, including the racism against Duskwights and mooncats. There is no reason to go back to Eorzea except for seasonal quests.
Actually there is a BUNCH of the Aldenard continent we haven't traveled to yet.
We haven't been to the charred West Shroud, an area in 1.0. Or the actual peaks of Abalathia's Spine with the volcanic hellgate that the Hellsguard clan originated from. The Farreach coast north of Dravinia and Sharlayan. The isles off the south eastern coast between Ala Mhigo and Ul'dah. And there is a rumored remaining underground city that some Duskwights never left.
I don't know if that's a whole expansion, since it's all piecemeal chunks that we've just walked past in old content, but there is still quite a bit left that could be looked into for further development. They used the Ceildahlaeh's archipelago, an area were were aware of since 1.0 was the setting for Island Sanctuary.
For example, that Abalathia's Spine hellgate could be a killer premise for a future field operation or deep dungeon. The Farreach could be a new housing region with some Sharlayan themed housing, being so close to the old colony.
I don't need a whole Eorzea expansion, but I would like to get Ala Mhigo as a city zone sometime. Perhaps it could be a jumping off point to explore the rest of Ilsabard.
I would actually be here for this. I do sometimes get nostalgic for the simple setting of just being in Eorzea. Maybe not necessarily whole new ares of it, but maybe slightly fleshing out what we already have?
Not necessarily interested in an Eorzean focused expansion, but I do think the game should give us more reasons to go back to old zones. Every expansion should include new special quests in past expansion zones where we get to explore some side stories with previous, or new NPCs. In general I find it such wasted potential because some zones are very beautiful, and the only reason I go back to them is for the hunts. :/
