Thank you for the read/insight.

Dunno where it will go, but typically when Japanese rpgs do a “americas” expansion, it is typically a combination of colonial era (pirates of Caribbean) and Wild West/gold rush era. I think even FFXI did a sorta “settlers go west” expansion but I quit before it came out.

I suspect that we will see a sort of Greatest Hits of America(s), probably taking from famous natural parks.

…so a sort of Grand Canyon/monument valley/mesa verde area with cliff palace..probably a redwoods..probably a Peru-esque machu pichu lost city… I’d love a Yellowstone esque area,personally.

That said, I also suspect they will go to Meracydia next, with some form of “Australia-Africa” vibe, which might utilize the cowboy/Mesa desert aspects….even that said we’ve kind of done mesa/desert zones to death…hard to say how/what they will do
