dat copy pasta landscape...

jokes aside, ARR's maps could have been bigger though

Well it's probably with good reason that the bottom half of Mor Dhona is inaccessible. It was so close to the front lines of the battle at Carteneau that it probably got trashed pretty bad between the clashing of forces and Bahamut's onslaught. Anyone there on the last day before the servers went down has an idea of how it was with all the Garlean forces there.

Anyway, Yoshi-P said sometime during beta that ARR was going to be 40ish areas (including instanced areas) with the capability of adding 40 more through patches. So I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they expanded upon Coerthas or Mor Dhona. I'm kinda curious where that new Pharos area is going to be. Mor Dhona seems like a suitable candidate.

Isn't it going to be on the island where you fought the siren during the story?

Ah ok, shows how much I paid attention. :/

I remember in the first two weeks of going live in 1.0, I ran everywhere I could to explore and grab all the aetherytes. It was so large and expansive back then. I remember the first time i stepped up to the gate for the crossing to ishgard. I was like, the new jueno? Then I stopped playing shortly after. Little did I know, I would be coming back to a much smaller scale implementation of these zones. Not a bad thing per say, but I do miss the 15 minute run for exploration every now and then.

I just miss the majestic views and mountains of Coerthas more than anything. That zone, for some reason, it didn't feel like it was copy-paste. It was great and so so so so huge. I loved mining there.
