The shapes aren't necessarily similar, but geographically (sometimes culturally, too), the Three Great Continents are essentially akin the Old World. Eorzea is "Africa," Ilsabard is "Europe," and Othard is "Asia." (Sidenote: Do not let this make you forget that Eorzea is actually based on Greece, whereas Garlemald is geographically based on Persia and culturally based on Rome.) If one considered the Old World "three great continents," it wouldn't mean that Australia wasn't a thing. Though I can't say that Meracydia is specifically Australia in this metaphor; Thavnair is apparently the Ottoman territory, but on its own island, and the Americas truly are out there - the mamool brought avacados.

I was indeed from Beta to the night Dalamud came crashing down on our heads. Holy Dragoon was a great person from my exp with them. I was hoping to see them again on Sarg, as well as a few others. There was the one who was one of the writers for an online game site but I cannot remember his name.

This time was possibly one of the best times I have ever spent in a game. People got along so well, no one trolled or was rude. People cooperated and worked together. Then there was just the actual chatting, met so many great ppl. Too bad I lost contact with so many of em.

omg, I was there too, same server..hehe

That is so cool they put that into the game lore!

Eorzea also has obvious shades of the Americas as far as its New World aspects (and the musket-punk tech), and I always read into Garlemald, Roman naming aside, as being a decent parallel to Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany in the great strides it takes to emulate a certain fallen empire of yore.

But it's ultimately one of those settings, with just enough mix-and-match going on to make more than one interpretation valid at once.

Wait, what the hell?

You know that bit on the Eorzea map that's labeled "The Garlean Empire"? Well that's Othard. Ilsabard is directly to the north, past the island of Sharlayan. As someone else said, think of Europe Asia and Africa, and how they connect to each other.

Yeah holy left and went to another server. We did all decide to go to sargatanas though. And some are still. There but yeah mysidia was great I miss it. Holy was who I called my Beta buddy he was talking to me on our Seraphim chat when I got the email invite for 1.0 closed beta I miss him.

I wonder if they'll ever impliment these? Some of them seem like they might start getting outdated.
