3.5/4.0 Speculation & Discussion (Spoilers)

[Belhi]

Interesting, so we get to go barely past the Castrum but at least people get their wish for the dungeon. I wonder if the dev team will actually have the resources to construct an extra little section of the east shroud for us to mess around in? Say after the dungeon once you beat it would we finally access the untrekable chunk of the east shroud beyond the wall, and there is even a small Aetherite there you can attune to so when 4.0 hits you move from there? Could even be a new area you zone out on and look at where the new expansion would start in? Would the dev team have the resources to actually do that? Considering they did the same to Mor Dhona and Illdyshire each patch it doesn't sound too far fetched.

Cortheas you get to see Ishgard in the distance, though it existed since 1.0 if I'm not mistaken and I thought it was pretty cool since it used to be this mysterious city no one could access until HW. I'd like to see something like that for Stormblood in 3.5.

Well, you can see Baelsar's Wall in the east shroud.

That... that is true. Didn't even notice it stretches all the way past the Sylphlands (the purple mist tries to obscure it.) until I ventured deep in out of morbid curiosity.
