What areas of lore would you like to see more of?

The Gilded Magitek Mount states that an alloy is now standard issue. If we're to assume the one we get is plated in pure gold, that's not going to offer Reapers much physical defense, which would make it much easier to defeat them with physical weapons. What is standard issue isn't pure gold plate like the Gilded one, but alloyed plating - a combination of two or more metals, likely gold and whatever else standard plating is made out of to reach a compromise between magickal resistance and physical sturdiness. We don't see gold-plated Reapers all over the place because our Gilded one is likely a prototype or show model, not standard issue.

Gold is a very soft metal.

I don't think they are literally gold plated, I assume it was just a function of a higher quality plating similar to gaius's armour in which you can switch it on when required.

But Gaius' armor acted more as a power booster than a magickal dampener... implicitly, at any rate.

According to the Gilded Magitek Armor, "alloyed gilding" is "standard issue." Just say they painted over the gilding since everyone running around in golden magitek armor would be too much of an eyesore. Either way, magicks are still effective against Garlean warmachina, which is implicitly how the Eorzeans deal with them, and as shown by Magnai during the assault on Doma Castle, sufficiently powerful martial arms can work on warmachina as well.

It's a fantasy world. Just because the Garleans have sturdy real-world materials doesn't mean they'll be able to barrel through any and everything in their way with nary a scratch when you have people who can call down comets on them.

I would like to see Thavnair, Sharlayan, the other continents, Dalmasca and other Ivalice-related areas, the 1.x areas that are no longer accessible and the world where the Warriors of Darkness came from
