I'd be very much for the Islands being a mashup of Sky & Abyssea, provided the minuses of both are left out (i.e. no obscenely long NM trigger spawns, no NMs that only drop crystals [Kirin], etc.). I do hope, however, that the devs ignore the Snowflakes who want gear to be rare as the Loch Ness Monster. Exclusivity is the absolute last thing XIV needs.
