Is there anyway to view the maps of Heavensward before release?

We arent quite sure. Are we totally sure that, Dravania and the floating islands are totally unexplored?

By someone? Yeah
By residents of Ul'Dah, Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, Doma, and Garlemald? They haven't been there in many, many years.

How do you know?, on both places there will be "sanctuarys" so there will be pupulated placed. We arent sure if Dravania is human inhabitaded and the floating islands too.

Dravania has been at war with Ishgard for centuries. In war, there is a dire need for info, so the Isgardians will likely have up-to-date records.
Those same Ishgardians closed off their country during the Garlean advance, so no one of note has been through the gates of Ishgard in over a decade, and even before that they were pretty secretive and closed off.
Sanctuaries will exist, of course, because Aetheryte usage isn't exclusive to our corner of Eorzea. I wouldn't be surprised if Doma and Ala Mihgo have a bunch too.

We yet have to figure out, but I dont think that Dravania is unhabitated, maybe by there lives some people that has no relation with the war at all.
