    If we're travelling to Ala Mhigo as many of us expect then yes, Castrum Oriens would be the most likely route for us to take. There is another route via Coerthas, however, so that still remains a possibility.

    Honestly I hope not, after having spent the past year in the Ishgardian areas I'm ready for the 2.0 areas to be somewhat relevant again, even if it's just for a few months.

    The route from Coerthas would take us through Xelphatol which I would love but... given 3.4's teaser post FSoF, I have to imagine through the East Shroud is our route more or less confirmed.

    I can't wait to see how we get through the great wall erected by Garlemald after the conquest tho, in 1.0 I'm pretty sure it was mentioned almost no one ever managed to breach it... (there were a few members who asked the Path of the Twelve for help who escaped Ala Mhigo proper, but it sounded like their freedom was bought with a good number of sacrifices)

    Looking at both the 1.0 map and Eorzea map, I doubt Coerthas Eastern Highlands will be a potential location to Ala Mhigo (it's more to the west) and Xelphatol. Too west.


    Where did Coerthas Central Lowlands go?


    I have a feeling the northern most area of Gridania will lead us to Xelphatol (or another Gridania zone leading to Xelphatol).

    Interesting, I keep forgetting that the Garlean empire is still a far cry from Ala Mhigo. I wonder if we'll even scratch Pagith'an at all... maybe they're setting it up for something in the far future. Guess when NPCs start name dropping certain regions more frequently we'll have our answers.

    If you were hoping for any Garlemald areas in 4.0 then chances are quite low.

    At best we may probably focus more on Xelphatol, Gyn Abanla, and Ala Mhigo in 4.0.

    Yoshi-P hinted a month ago when asked about Doom Train that he is saving it for when we begin progressing to Garlemald so I am guessing 5.0 is Garlemald expansion with Doom train as the 4.X Final Boss so we have Doom Train be our Access into Garlemald and the Garlean Empire areas.
