What I wanted to do was to highlight that saying that current themes are nice but should cover maybe 1/3 of the current regions seemed pretty accurate since they plan to introduce 3-4 strong themes in each region.

Then I replied to your opening point: I think that including said themes in the current regions would greatly improve aesthetic without having to completely redesign the maps.
One interesting thing is how they talk about 3-4 themes in each region when they do the redesign.

Look at Thanalan though:
Main area - trunk trees.
East - Desert
North/South - Canyons
North - Ceruleum Towers
West - Low ravines

Are those what constitute a theme? If that's the case then Thanalan already meets their requirement for themes, but lacks assets within each theme. Or is a theme supposed to be the objective of the area?
