I don't have a strong memory lol, so I honestly don't remember if any other areas have been mentioned. I am curious as to where else we can go in future expansions.

Corvos, specially, has been mentioned throughout the expansion and even RPR quest so heavily that I would be surprised it doesn't become a new instance/raid/zone in a later patch
There are two whole continents that have already been named and referenced. Meracydia and the New World. In addition there are a lot of areas of in Ilsabard and Othard that are unexplored as well, and EW name dropped a few others. So plenty of places not to mention all the other shards.
Pandaria.
But more seriously, the game has been hinting at New World for a while now via Blue Mage quests. I expect that or Meracydia.
They can easily base an entire expansion on Meracydia or the New World, as well as other places.
There's also five other shards that still exist, as well as the remains of the void.
We also have the ability to travel through space, so visiting other stars is a possibility. While Meteion claimed to have found only death and despair, there could still be the remains of life out there judging by what we've seen in Ultima Thule.
I doubt we'll run out of places to go any time soon.
emet selch told us a few places we should go explore at the end of the story
also theres still a few shards that the ascians didnt destroy aside from the first, not to mention we now got the ragnarok so we can go and visit any star out there with life still on it
In addition to this, Meteion's song of hope might have accidentally roused more hostile entities than just the Omicrons...
I'm expecting Corvos to be our Eureka/Bozja area for 6.0 at this point.
With the Garlean provinces in disarray after the fall of the empire, I have doubts that it was able to fend off the Final Days as well as Thavnair did, not to mention the general tendency towards discontent in such lands would have had them primed for appearance of blasphemies.
The smaller, more isolated regions such as Blindfrost seem more likely to become subject of future MSQ dungeons.
Honestly with the WoL's fame, and all of the resources like allies and whatnot, I've been thinking that the best way for them to usher a completely new narrative with brand new elements like places, characters is start a new story on another shard and staying there. If the WoL due to plot armor is the only one able to hop through the shards, that would also allow other places and even Scion characters to be used on the Source for side content like Raid/Alliance Raid/Trials/etc without tons of repercussions of continuity on the MSQ.
regardless of where we g o its gonna be an adventure~
Aside from the continents we have lots of islands and regions of existing continents we haven't seen like the Ryakgyr peninsula, the Skatay range, inner Yanxia and Hingashi, the Dalvalan grath, Cape Mete, the isles of Haam and Yorn near Sharlayan, Aerslaent the abandoned homeland of the roes, and I could go on and on about the small islands they've put on the map. Not to mention we still literally have Nagxia and Dalmasca to see in a real capacity as far as Othard goes. Also... the rest of Ilsabard is still completely hidden from the world map, we still don't know what could be at the south aside from Corvos which is near Othard. Also, according to the wvr/crp/ltw quests, we have an equivalent for the Caribbean islands off the coast of the new world. Whenever we get to go to new world or Meracydia the map will be expanded even further.
I am convinced that we will go to the 13th shard as a proper zone at some point.
Everything. We’ve only seen the tourist destinations of each area. The real adventure exists outside of those locations.
Granted, if you completed all the role quests for Shadowbringers; Unukalhai and Cylva are implied to be dedicated to restoring life to the 13th shard, their home after your efforts in the Empty with Ryne and Gaia. Their main goal is recovering the world from the current Void that it is. If they succeed there is an entire possibility that the 13th shard could be explorable. Then again it could also be implied that they could succeed in restoring the 13th after the new story arc that starts ends. But, the 13th shard is still a possibility regardless, though I don't see it happening anytime soon.

We don't even really need to go to other continents. Like, there's HUGE swathes of the Black Shroud we've never been to, there's the deserts and ruins south of Southern Thanalan, the northern third-ish of La Noscea (past O'ghomoro) plus most of the surrounding islands, Coerthas' northern and eastern areas (which you can kinda see from Dusk Vigil and the Gilgamesh fight bridge, respectively.) There's still a lot Eorzea itself could offer.
I hope we actually go to many of these places on Eorzea, instead of blasting off to other planets, the 5 still-unrejoined shards, or backwards/forwards in time.
As great as Shadowbringers is, having the whole story be self-contained and most of its characters impossible to interact with anyone else feels kinda bad.
I genuinely want them to let us access more of Eorzea, or even give us a patch quest storyline about making Coerthas green again and rebalancing the aether there if they're brave enough, but I won't hold out much faith that they'll add level 90+ zones for a continent that currently caps out at 60. But it is still a shame that we can't go to West Shroud or any other parts of Coerthas or south Mor Dhona either because they were destroyed or just simply ommitted in arr to conserve resources.
Nothing but excitement, and i think we can go to other area for solving blasphemy problem or having new villain trying to control dynamis and doing a primal summoning using dynamis instead of aether, yeah i agreed with the notion that we should focus on doing stuff on eorzea first and avoid going to space or other shard on the next expansion
Meracydia seems like it would make for a good expansion continent and the New World is like the size of everything we've been to put together so not sure what the plan is there.
Lots of smaller places we haven't been to that are intermingled with the areas we have as well
A few shards that should be intact that could be visited too, like 3 or 4 more I think?
What I am more interested in is the true identity of the twelve. It was mentioned that we do not know it and that we should look into it, and I don't remember the lore stating very much about them other than they are deities that Eorzeans follow, but I could just not be remembering very well.
That's what the main focus of the 24-man raids will be.

Meracydia and the New World (thankfully not the Amazon one) are the most likely of targets for the next story.
I also think the Omicrons will make another comeback as a potential Terminator-esque villain.
In SHB during the Ivalician storyline, Fran suggested that we work together again in future... This leaves the window open for XII to make a surprising return that I know people would go crazy for.
I think its about time we return to Ivalice... properly. It's the FF game where I felt most at home and I think the community would really take to it. The royal city of Rabanastre, Eruyt village and Archadia would be such breath-taking sceneries in XIV.
Please let us explore the rest of Koshu. The different clans are gonna be at odds and we need to interfere.
I noticed that they left another thread hanging and two of the lesser Scions mention they were going to Aenslaent (The Roegadyn homeland) and that they'd tell us if they happened across aught of interest.
It's a very small region comparable in size to Old Sharlayan, but I could see it being a hub for a side story.
I think they already put the axe on that as the Stigma Dreamscape dungeon was specifically for the purpose of discouraging the Stigma 4 unit from going through with its decision to make Etheriys its next target and the other units seem to be acting accordance with the hope that G'raha ignited in them and trying to push the remnants of their civilization in a different direction.
They seemed to put a pretty heavy emphasis on Meracydia so I would be very surprised if that's not the next expansion's location.
