Suggestion: Eorzea focused expansion

I think focusing back on Eorzea and making it feel alive and having the political situation shift and introducing new threats would make the game flourish a bit more.

Aaaaaaand

ADD NEW ZONES and spruce up the current ones, heck maybe even make everything non-instanced aside from the major cities.

La Noscea: Islands + O'ghomoro mountainrange with the volcano
Shroud: Instanced giant underdark Gelmorra with the Duskwights, West Shroud
Thanalan: A bigger Sagolii desert with villages and the whole Sil'diih being a rebuild project

Maybe Corvos is the final zone where the threat to Eorzea originates after solving problems in every Eorzean City State, and we go there to fight out the final threat.

we explored and conquered all of eorzea we are done with it lets let the past go.

I've said it myself before but I would love an expansion that included a massive "underdark" beneath the Shroud with Gelmorra. :D
And of course the West Shroud, which is ominously visible on the horizon from EVERY region of the Black Shroud, including Ramuh's fight arena.

New zones in Eorzea? Maybe not. A massive revitalization of all the zones we left behind in ARR and prior expansions? Absolutely.

I'd live for some revitalization of the starting city-states. Make it so!

Time travel expansion where we go back to 1.0's giant zones that don't have any loading between them.

Ain't no way you said that with a straight face. All of Eorzea? I guess the western shroud, gelmorra, sagolii proper, the remains of the sil'dih city states, all of the allagan stuff, half of mor dhona, several areas of dravania above and below, the mountains of limsa, xelphatol, the metric fuck-ton we didn't see of gyr abania... what the actual fuck are you on about? Do i need to go on? There's vast areas of Eorzea only ever spoken about we've never once been there.

Please I beg of thee, think before you post.

Still never gotten to see moon cat land. Perhaps an expansion solely focused on them would be good.

I'd love this! There's still so much to see and do in our beloved Eorzea.

So many people in this thread with low levels of imagination.

As with any idea, it's only as good as its implementation.

I would be down for a "Cataclysm style" revamp. Blow it all up and rebuild from scratch.

We solved all problems forever between the nations and the allied societies at the end of Endwalker. Yes, including the racism against Duskwights and mooncats. There is no reason to go back to Eorzea except for seasonal quests.

Actually there is a BUNCH of the Aldenard continent we haven't traveled to yet.

We haven't been to the charred West Shroud, an area in 1.0. Or the actual peaks of Abalathia's Spine with the volcanic hellgate that the Hellsguard clan originated from. The Farreach coast north of Dravinia and Sharlayan. The isles off the south eastern coast between Ala Mhigo and Ul'dah. And there is a rumored remaining underground city that some Duskwights never left.

I don't know if that's a whole expansion, since it's all piecemeal chunks that we've just walked past in old content, but there is still quite a bit left that could be looked into for further development. They used the Ceildahlaeh's archipelago, an area were were aware of since 1.0 was the setting for Island Sanctuary.

For example, that Abalathia's Spine hellgate could be a killer premise for a future field operation or deep dungeon. The Farreach could be a new housing region with some Sharlayan themed housing, being so close to the old colony.

I don't need a whole Eorzea expansion, but I would like to get Ala Mhigo as a city zone sometime. Perhaps it could be a jumping off point to explore the rest of Ilsabard.

I would actually be here for this. I do sometimes get nostalgic for the simple setting of just being in Eorzea. Maybe not necessarily whole new ares of it, but maybe slightly fleshing out what we already have?

Not necessarily interested in an Eorzean focused expansion, but I do think the game should give us more reasons to go back to old zones. Every expansion should include new special quests in past expansion zones where we get to explore some side stories with previous, or new NPCs. In general I find it such wasted potential because some zones are very beautiful, and the only reason I go back to them is for the hunts. :/

Ooo I agree, I'd love more content to be added in this manner and yeah... hunts seem to be the only reason to dip back to them ><

Thats all upto the story, and we really havent explored "all" of eorzea that is incorrect
