Makes me wonder why they are going to the effort of adding things to zones if they are going to redesign them. I guess they have to add something though, redesigns will take months.

I would think their plan is to not have to redesign any new zones they add, only the ones that already exist.

Makes me even more interested to see the level design of the strongholds.

Q: What is your favorite zone in FFXIV?

Yoshida: Central Mor Dhona, where the remains of the fallen airship can be seen. The place oozes with a sense of adventure. I'm hoping to create more places like this when we revise the map - and make sure there's plenty of content to compliment them!

They can revise the map without completely changing every single detail.

They already have updated Black Shroud a bit.

You remember the giant tree which was dead-center in the eft camp, just east of the treespeak node?

Yeah, that's gone, lol.

They are not redoing all of the zones, Shroud will get a massive over haul but the main changes to zones will be to make unused and under used area appear thematically different from the rest. They are not going to redo the entire geography of every section of every zone.

Those critters in the 1st stronghold need to lay off the caffeine and put down the crack pipe...they are spazzin' out.

I wonder if the spelling of U'Ghamaro is just a romanization of the Japanese name, or if it's just a typo. Because the name is clearly O'Ghomoro, as evidenced by the world map and items/NPCs in-game: http://ffxiv.yg.com/search?s=O%27Ghomoro.

O'Ghomoro is the Volcanic area.

U'Ghamaro is obviously just the name of the mines.

Kobold are probably just starved for syllables or something so all their places sound the same.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.

Always nice to see new areas...
