Il Mheg 1/2 of two mirrored zones?

[fay2]

A problem with mirrored zones is that we have a finite number of zones. Not counting the cities, both HW and SB added 6 zones.

There were the later added zone/zones too if only in the form of instances, but yes at lanuch 6 and 6.

We have already seen 3 zones for Shadowbringers. And these 3 really don't look like zones that are connected. They are just all over the place. Filling the other 3 slots with dark versions of these places, would just make the new zones less connected.

It really depends how they add a rifting feature if its built to the zone like the dive feature then you need to compare it to the zones that got diving/swimming.

In the case of diving its part of only 4 zones in StB , of those 4, yes the steps dive feels a little like it was added last minute, and the fringes and pecks feel like they missed the dive boat all together for the expansion but still have areas that could have had diving added .
We also got swimming added to Eastern La Noscea a ARR zone and all housing areas to different degrees.

I'm thinking if we only get 6 and they stay to passed patterns we'll get 3 more zones over in southern Othrad , of which 2 shown so far fit what we know of the expanded Othradian map. 3 zones "elsewhere", with 1 of those zones out right hidden till we get there in the expansion.

Personally I hope they buck the trend give us more and we get 7 zones . I would love 4 Othardian zones. It would keep people speculating on their toes lol .

Il Mheg is a major piece of the story based on the key notes a fanfest eu.
The story is pointing to me to the 1st shard, so I fell this "elsewhere" is other shards.

Even though dark pixies and dark viera would be fun.

Indeed although Viera have 2 clans lored in already, they are referred to as a lesser race based on numbers, maybe this is a way to drastically up grade the Viera from lesser race to 1 of the 6 numerous races?

Well it would be 1 of the 7 numerous if they where joined the rank of numerous race.

The hole planer thing could open up a 3rd clan option for some races that exist tho, assuming there is less work in making 3rd clans over adding hole races , which might be a way to add pseudo races in the future. They need not all come from that im sure people might use a hyur true born garlean clan option or a half-Elezen option. Just a way to add a 3rd clan option to less numerous that present lore cant explain. a little of track that.

Yes I hope we get true dark Viera in character creator too.
