Will we ever revisit other "destroyed"/inaccessible areas from 1.0?

Mun-Tuy Cellars

How did the Cellars move from North Shroud in 1.0 to being the bridge between Central Shroud and South Shroud in 2.0!? I understand some areas being moved around slightly (Snakemolt being east of where it was originally... it's not too crazy to think the people would just use names they were familiar with and apply them to "new" areas instead of making up new names, after the landscape changed), but an entire underground section moved clear across the forest?

The fermenting of Mun-Tuy beans into sauces, tonics, pastes, and even the tasty brew that helps Wood Wailers wind down after a long day of wailing is a task that requires strict temperature and humidity control. In an age devoid of heating/cooling systems, the best place to achieve perfect temperatures/humidity was in caves (no matter how hot/cold it is outside, a cave's interior usually remains unchanged). It also helps that on the walls of certain caves found only in the Twelveswood grows a special type of yeast that helps transform the Mun-Tuy juice into something more...exciting. When the Calamity wreaked its havoc on the Twelveswood, many of the caves used for Mun-Tuy processing were either buried under rubble, or new openings were created, changing the internal environment and making them no longer suitable for the task at hand. This is pretty much what happened with the pre-Calamity cellars. However, Gridania is a thirsty city-state, and the Mun-Tuy brewers were not ready to let their craft fade into oblivion, so they searched long and hard for a new series of caves that met the conditions of their old cellars...and finally found some on the border of the new East and South Shrouds--the location of the new cellars.

I know that doesn't answer all of your questions, but hope it sheds some light on one.

Actually, I really appreciate that answer. Thank you! I hope the implication is that we will eventually be able to learn the answers to the rest. I'll be playing this game for a long time to come, so I definitely look forward to it, and exploring the other areas we do know we're getting.

Well, it at least explains why the brewers decided to set-up shop in the middle of a public highway?

Hopefully all that Chocobo dung helps that yeast do its thing.
