Add more Open World zones

North Coethras- (Snow Area)- Shiva/Gigas stronghold Location
East Coethras- (Forest//Hills//Windmills Much like 1.0)--> Leads to Garlean Land.
West Coethras- Town ???/Mountain Climb/Dragon stronghold/Frozen waterfall-->Ice Cavern

South Mor Dhona- Phantom Train/Midgardsormr Dungeon/Camp Brittlebark/Silvertear Lake


Theres some ideas start cracking.

time will open it up especially griffin crossing area.. :3

I said it in another thread, but they should open up some dungeons as open world zones after they're completed; something like Brayflox's Longstop should become a proper zone after you've completed it, as a Goblin settlement with shops/quests/FATEs. Would probably get in the way of redoing everything for Hard Modes though...

OT: The Coerthas zones are currently blocked off, but you can pretty much see where they'll be. With the exception of Coerthas Central Lowlands, which is pretty much gone unless they put it back in as a zone between Mor Dhona and Coerthas Central Highlands (could happen, but I doubt it). Coerthas Eastern Highlands has become an Ixal zone, the entrance can be found at X33Y15. Coerthas Eastern Lowlands should be beyond Griffin Crossing (and please let it not be snowy...). Coerthas Western Highlands would be Shivas territory now, beyond the Snowcloak. There is also the possibility for a new area; Coerthas Western Lowlands, if you look west from Monument Tower you can see a Garlean base, might be part of Western Highlands, might just be scenery.

More Mor Dhona I can see happening as we deal with the Garleans (part of the main scenario was dealing with this in 2.1). I doubt it'll actually be a new zone, rather that giant southern part of the map which is currently empty will be filled in; the path leading to Crystal Tower used to be empty as well, but when it got added and the path opened up the map there was filled in. Mor Dhona is pretty small at the moment, and the name doesn't lend itself to new zones like the Coerthas areas, but the entire southern part of that map is completely blank. A path could either open up by Castrum Centri or by Rathefrost; was it every actually explained who the bandits there were?

That would be amazing. If done well, those zones could add continuity to the stories of those dungeons, transitioning from normal to HM.
