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

[Ramesses]

Just give me more of the Allagan Empire. Lots of it. An avalanche of it.

I had asked for this on the forums back in 2013 and I won't tire of asking... why? Ultimately because their story holds the key to a lot of mad mysteries. In fact, I expect expansion 6.0 or 7.0 to send us to the past so that we can fully comprehend this magnificent civilization (similar to how in the WoTG expansion for FFXI, we were able to be transported to the Crystal War era).

I mean, those Allagan chaps developed all these...

What's this one? The one in the middle.

Its history, characters, to o to the actual place. I'd be sold completely if/when they ever make an expansion there.

That's the Labyrinth of the Ancients, the first raid section of the Crystal Tower (we used to call it the "basement" of the Crystal Tower)... released in December 2013 I believe.

Yeah I really want to see Sephiroth's plant people and Sophia's followers...
It's always known as the land of the dragons but Meracydia has so much more in it. It's where the miqo'te came from..and it seems to be full of a lot of hybrid human/animal people. So its cities and towns are 100% unique and probably have no hyurs or any of eorzea's races. So the possibility for really unique lore and history is endless.

I feel like Meracydia is where the story will reach its climax, as it's the only continent besides the current three we know much of anything about and seems like the most probable destination after Ilsabard/Garlemald are dealt with.

Assuming the calamities and Allag didn't leave it a ruin.

[Mysterysword]

Did anyone mention the New World yet? Because I would love a New World expansion. The only things from there that I can recall off the top of my head are the Mamool Ja and that one costume we can craft that kind of walks a fine line between homage and misappropriation.

Between the New World and Meracydia, there's still a lot more to explore. For starters, I would just like to know if those continents are actually populated with mankind.

Misappropriation? Not at all - as with many things within FFXIV it is inspired heavily by real world cultures and has been implemented in a very satisfying and respectful manner.

Sadly, according to the lore book at least, the Allagans did leave Meracydia a terrible ruin. Between their powerful robots, the machinations of Omega, and all of thier other crazy superweapons it has apparently been reduced to a mostly uninhabitable wasteland. That doesn't necessarily mean we can't ever go there, but it won't exactly be intact. Going to the New World would be fun too! It could be interesting to have the various factions and nations all trying to learn more about it and exploit it and everything. Would bring a fun 'explorer' feel, and it would also nice to see Limsa Lominsa take center stage in an expansion for once instead of Ul'Dah.
