They can even modify zone change lines because no one really knows exactly how far your character traveled between the two zone lines. Looking at the World Map Black Shroud, theres an immense expanse of road between any given area. We may even see the path from say North Shroud to Central get an area between it that we zone into before walking through this new zone to get to the Central Shroud line.
I was hoping that they would add more areas as well, it seems that the type of areas change far too quickly. Coerthas snow area kind of comes out of no where. They way FFXI implemented their zone changes were nice. It had a build up to the next zone, not just abrupt weather / terrain changes.
