It is?! I had no idea. Mind. Blown.

If they're paying attention, it's visible. You can see the Jadeite Flood to the south, that big lake to the east. In Central, you can see the Jadeite Flood to the north, just as you leave Gridania.

I won't mention the name, but someone made a FF14 1.0 emulator, so if any of you are interested for mostly exploring the old world, look it up.

Newbie to 2.0 here, but the point in which we cross from Grid to Coerthas is razed to the ground, and the aether is so badly disturbed that giant chunks of rock float in space. The edge leads over to a large cliff, at which you can see a giant slab of Dalamud's shell jutting from the ground in the distance to the sky.

I think that the area that was the Lowlands is literally gone, ripped apart by Dalamud's destruction.

Actually that area was still part of the North Shroud in 1.0 - it was originally a high level area though that was full of enemies over level 50, but didn't have that much there other than a hard-to-reach aetherial gate. The Coerthas Southern Lowlands were further over, and are just effectively bypassed now for whatever reason.

It would still be a nice place to explore. I know our characters don't just magically skip an entire zone to get to Mor Dhona. Maybe we'll see more of it as Revenent's Toll expands, maybe seeing RT seep into Coerthas Central Lowlands perhaps? Then there's the Eastern Lowlands, THAT place is probably destroyed beyond recognition, but I would like to see what remains of good ol' Camp Glory and see where the Owl's Nest once stood
