UL'dah's sister city Sihl'da!?

There's also mention from a Roegadyn in Limsa of a region somewhere far east of Eorzea run by a group of ruling houses. Capital city's name starts with an R I think.

There are plenty of things that could happen and zones that could pop up thanks to the game's lore. I'm sure we'll see more of it all eventually.

Correct. You're referring to Thavnair and its capital city of Radz-at-Han, which is to the east, across the Sea of Jade. There's also Meracydia to the south, across the Sea of Ash, which is apparently a very tribal region, with heavy voodoo influences.

Not to mention Limsa's own Admiral discovered a route to the western continent across the Indigo Deep.

Good catch! I completely forgot about that. I'm really excited to see if/when they implement these regions in the future. Hopefully we actually see some of these areas come into fruition, unlike some of the continents in FFXI...

What unlike XI? In 2002 we heard about an island nation of Kazham and surrounding areas, in 2003 we got said land. In 2003 we heard about a near eastern empire, in 2004 we had an "official" from there, whom is the first Blue Mage to appear in the middlelands where you acquire your Homam/Nashira set from through the middleman. in 2006 we got said near eastern lands.

So we actually seen most of the world that was in XI's active storyline -- The only exception is the Mithran homeland and far east which is a warzone, the rest of the stuff (Western lands, Orc/Gigas homeland) were lore stuff dating before XI's release and Tribune material. So if XI's example is to be followed, we'll see quite a bit of of these lands, XIV is still only in it's vanilla stage, we've yet to get even our first expansion which could open the world a lot for all anyone can guess.

The main reason we didn't get to see certain things in XI is because 10 years later, it's likely not profitable to create more full expansion packs.

Okay, my apologies. I just meant in the grand scheme of things, there are more continents/regions mentioned in FFXI than we were able to actually go to (as you mentioned, Orc/Gigas homeland, Western & Southern Continents, Tsahya), but given their hostile nature, it seems unlikely that we would've been able to go to most of them anyway.

Obviously there will be more areas to explore in future expansions...all I'm saying is that I wish to explore as much of Hydaelyn as possible, so I hope they actually enable us to travel to these places that keep popping up in the lore.

There's a pretty substantial amount of countries/continents we didn't get to visit, that have been mentioned pretty frequently in the past. Wings of the goddess in particular peppers a fair few conversations with information about the continents to the south and west. So yes, unlike FFXI because despite them saying in interviews that they hoped to visit these places, the funding was pretty obviously pulled and we ended up with 'expansions' post-ToAU that didn't really add much in terms of brand new content.

I think Chrees is right in saying that.
