How about opening up the past, version 1.0 & farther back ? At least 1.0 would allow ARR/2.0 players to see what the world used to look like & learn more about the history of Eorzea.
This was a very interesting feature in FFXI.

I loves me some alternate dimensions/time travel! Wouldn't mind this at all. I think most people would prefer whole new areas though.

I think I'll pass on ever wandering 1.0 Shroud. No thanks.

Uh, no, it will never happen - the whole reason ARR was made in the first place was because 1.0's zones were badly designed - in order to make them large and seamless (and to be able to be rendered on the Crystal Tools engine), Tanaka's original team had to cut corners, repeating the same environment model and texture over and over again (the Black Shroud in 1.0 particularly was bad - it was just a long series of mossy passageways and nothing else. Oh how I hated the 1.0 Black Shroud - I'm glad that's gone forever).
And, given the fact ARR now uses a totally new engine and new maps, no, the 1.0 Eorzea will not be coming back. I mean, Yoshi deliberately brought down Dalamud so that there would be a narrative reason for the completely redesigned maps, rather than just handwaving it away and retconning it. The closest to the 'past' in FFXIV you'll get will be Echo-visions, as that's always been in the storyline. But the Echo is not the true past, so that doesn't really count. -

Turn 9.
On a serious note, I would love to explode the 1.0 maps or something alike. I didn't experience that phase of the game. :( -
