Will Doma and Ala Mhigo be available in 4.0?

[Felis]

Just basing this off the launch of Hw but I would imagine that through the starting msq's we'll get access to Ala mhigo, as for Doma being added in getting access to that may not happen right away just depends on how the msq's flow

I doubt it. Ala Migho is still occupied and who know how many garlean army are between the black shroud and Ala Migho. The first place we will go will be a resistance camp.

With Ishgard at the beginning of HW all what we had to do was crossing a bridge.

I wouldn't count the Empire out as of the end of 4.x...SE needs to keep them relevant as an enemy for 5.0 and perhaps beyond.

Who said they will be the enemy in 5.0? Its not like we are going to completely destroy the empire. If we did it would turn Ilsabard into a chaotic, war torn nightmare. Most of it has been Garlean for nearly 50 years. I think its more likely we will try and keep Garlemald from completely collapsing and try to put a more moderate leadership in charge.

Yes, we will be in Ala Mhigo in 4.0.

Doma, not so sure. We will be in Othard though, so maybe.

What I meant to say was by the end of the initial content we could make it to the capital, still likely inside a resistance hq through the msq's.

Now if they go back to the format of ARR we could go to all areas and explore them. If they keep the format from hw where you have to progress through the msq's to unlock each new area map then hopefully through the msq's we'll be able to get each new area unlocked in the initial content like they did for hw.

I believe all of the zones they have previewed will be accessible in the 4.0 patch. Notable locations we have been shown include Rhalger’s Reach, Kugane, and Yanxia (where current Doma resides). During the latest Fan Festival it was suggested that they would be doing something unique for the liberation of Ala Mhigo. For that reason I am not entirely confident that the physical locations of Ala Mhigo will be accessible in the 4.0 patch.

Worst case scenario:
Doma = FFXV's Tenebrae (staring from the outskirts)
Ala Mhigo = FFXV's Insomnia (basically a dungeon or raid)

Best case scenario:
Doma/Ala Mhigo = Ishgard
