If you all got information on possible hints toward the future feel free to share!

Edit as of 7/23//2023:

New Areas added thanks to poster feedback, and removed one because I forgot Onsal Hakair was in the game already.

To Do:

Figure out the missing 2 city states of the Fifth Astral Era.

Small note but Valnain is in Dalmasca, not Nagxia. We actually see Valnain in a cutscene and they just reused the assets from Rabanastre, which is Dalmasca's capital, not "Dalmasca". Lea Monde is another city in Dalmasca which means Dalmasca is one of the only countries in the world with multiple cities.

Either way, I think future Dalmasca content is unlikely due to being locked behind both 24-man raid and relic content and we don't know if the writer is coming back. The whole storyline ended very abruptly in the field notes rather than an cutscene.

Corvos seems likely for future content based on how much they keep slamming it in our face in the MSQ and certain side quests, but it could just be setup just in case. Missing from your list are the Cieldades, which are islands separate from the "Southern Islands" and were originally going to be the content in patch 3.0 before they decided to focus on Ishgard instead.

Oh I completely goofed, thanks for catching for that

I actually removed Cieldades because we went there very briefly in a certain Job Quest though unless we get to go there proper-like one day.

My brain was turned off regarding Dalmasca, silly mistake on my part.

A heads up, the New World is to the west of Eorzea, and is the homeland of the tribe that practices Blue Magic. Meracydia is to the south of Eorzea.

Aerslaent is in the Northern Empty, Northeast of Sharlayan, and West of Garlemald.
It's labeled on the map.

I have a feeling some of these locations will be turned into dungeons for 6.X patches.
Corvos as speculated by many might turn out to be the relic zone
Present Day Elpis may not exist anymore or at an unknown location ( Given it should have some Ancients ruins or intact structures and no mention of them means it might still be undiscovered to the present day )
I can't say anything else for the others. Meracydia and New world are very unlikely to be anything featured in 6.X patches as they can be their own expansion ( Meracydia expansion and New world expansion )
In fact, while Meracydia can be its own expansion, I don't think it would do justice to feature the new world in a single expansion. Then again the first was features in a single expansion despite it have a landmass big enough to host two-three expansions.

There's also the Farreach, homeland of the Hellsguard, somewhere in Abalathia's Spine.

Thanks for the correction, I did this late at night at the time of that writing. (I should not have wrote this when I was tired) lol

You can add half of Eorzea to the list. We never actually go to Abalanthia's spine, just some floating islands above it. Half of mor dhona is missing, West shroud, and Coerthas lower highlands.
In the extreme south of Thanalan is Sil'dih, but that seems to be completely forgotten about in the story.

I was just looking at those 1.0 lore areas today on youtube, added!

I was told recently that West Shroud was once used as a PVP map, but it was removed at some point.
