Goblin village?

I dunno why but this village art reminds me sort of goblin "style", especially the 'fat' tower on the right (similar in style at the one in the Mutamix camp). And seeing the palmtrees vegetation, it could be on an island or in a jungle yuthunga-alike forest. If it's the case, it would be sweet (some interaction with them, for crafting or rare items maybe).

Agree mate. I didn't notice before. Looks gobby to me

Aww... Are they gonna settle in Eorzea? :3

Yup, def reeks of gobby style. I've never been a fan of jungle themes though :x Whenever I have to fight in such areas I start feeling too hot irl since my char's usually wearing full armour :P Downtime = bikini, of course!

Yes please let it be so. Im gonna move there and be adopted by the Goblin Tribe, since it appears my dream of playing as a Goblin has been dashed by bunny girl fetishism .........

Looks more like Ixali to me. Especially that foating structure. Somehow the buildings remind me of eggs. ^^'

I love jungle themes :D if done right.
Wasn't a big fan of Yuhtunga Jungle

It may be.. on a japan site there is a title right below it saying that it is called

"Barbarian village" 蛮族の村 (google translated)

Not so "aww" anymore. :(

Doesn't look like goblin style to me at all. Goblin style seems much more mechanical / trash collecting / pollution to me.

well im sorry ;/

well just maybe.. by the way its fun to copy & paste the other titles in google translate and what these regions seem to be.

That concept art. Looks really....gobby.

Looks like a Mandragora Village to me!

Might be goblin. Part of that weird tower also looks like part of a gobby mask.

I always pictured Goblins to be way more mechanical

Maybe I'm thinking of Moblins.

You are right generally but maybe could exist an ancient tribal goblin clan without steam/tech yet..

You might also consider that Kobolds are already filling that 'highly mechanical' niche.

If I'm not mistaken, I think that 蛮族 is basically used to mean "beastman" in FFXIV. So, it could easily mean "beastman village" == "goblin village."

Yep in FFXIV that 蛮族 Banzoku is word used for beastmen.

I dunno for me http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/img/co...ARR_PUB_25.jpg

How those round window like things have a straight line through them; they look familiar to:

I seriously thought it was the new Gridinia when I saw it. XD

Maybe it's a Mandragora village, it's too cute to be a Gobbie one.

Qirqin Village ;)

Or Mamba village

Consider where the moblins/ goblin lived in FFxi and the little camp (that looks like and junkyard in xIv). I highly doubt the xIv dev team are going to break the trend from "trash-treasure collecting" to "cutesie". It's plain WRONG.

I'd rather they go with a steam-punk theme type of town or village for our little green friends. The area where you learn to convert materia, gain the catalyst gathering ability and melding skills is much more the nature of a true goblin/ moblin. Knowing SE, even if there's signs leading to believe its a ancient moblin village, it could be something else(or isn't it??) O_o

I'm calling it right now.

New Sylph village of Moonspore Grove.

Maybe they're hippie goblins.

Nomadic ones collect trash and wander about causing fuss.

The ones 'back home' are peaceful, flower loving gobbies who smoke pipeweed.

Mandragoraz! ...?

mandragoraz seem too "beastish" if you ask me... i cant think of a mandragora building a house ^^

Building on the right looks like a goblin mask... Actually they all sorta do. :x

Look more goblin than anything IMO.

Oh gods I won't understand a single conversation that happens in that village.
