6.0 Predictions: Will it be Garlemald, Sharlayan, or Meracydia?

[Rosenstrauch]

So, I'd been doing a bit of shower thinking about a possible underground zone, and it hit me that one thing they could include in such a place would be the Feymarch. For those unfamiliar, the Feymarch is a location from Final Fantasy 4.

The concept could be adapted in a number of ways. For instance, they could stick to the concept faithfully, and have it be a place were Eidolons/Primals can manifest without summoners. To justify that, perhaps it's exceptionally close to the planet's lifestream, even more so than the Antitower. Or, taking other inspiration from FF4, specifically the presence of Sylphs in a similar locale in the Underworld, it could be a place where we find the Source equivalent to Norvrandt's Fae Folk. Or they could take the etymology of Feymarch into consideration and, going back to the aforementioned "close to the lifestream" idea, make it a "land of the dead" sort of place. That would kind of double as a FFX reference with the Farplane as well, now that I think about it. Or it could be an Ancient facility dedicated to the study of arcane entities. There were cities other than Amaurot from that era, after all, and such a place could loop back to the mysterious "Sound" that led to the Final Days.

I would very much like to explore a "not-Amaurot" Ancient city or facility. But I think chances are greater to find ruins of Allagans.

A lot of FFIV parallels can be potentially drawn already, Sharlayan = Mysdia, Palom and Porum = Alphinaud and Alisaie, the moon for the final zone = the moon the final zone. I just hope they take it a step further and have us prove ourselves in a Mount Ordeals dungeon.

I wouldn't mind it being a city/town of primal like beings, or perhaps one containing the souls of the "Warriors of Light" who are constantly born into the world. Would be a nice change of pace, and it would be especially nice/crazy if it turned out it was originally a city/town on the planet in the ancient days, one where Azem originally was born in.

Hehe, I was thinking about this today when I got back to these forums. Just think about Soken redoing this theme:
