Am I the only person excited about the fact that he is wearing a Vivienne Westwood armour ring?! Oh god I want one...

Honestly these images without explanations don't give us that much to speculate on so let's wait for them to buy a scanner or something before everyone goes berserk...

Yeah...those cost 200-300 bucks EACH...now he cannot deny that he don't get paid bad...that jewelery is VERY expensive & awsome at the same time.

Field Zone 4 is Black Shroud / Gridania

Field Zone 5...anyone know which one this is?

FZ1 = Limsa Lominsa and La Noscea

FZ2 = Thanalan / Ul'dah

FZ3= ??? (Coerthas or Mor Dhona)

FZ4 = Black Shroud / Gridania

FZ5 = ??? (Coerthas or Mor Dhona)

I cannot remember which of those two are which...

I don't think its quite that simple, each aetheryte has its own zone, Uldah being Zone 1, Black Brush = Zone 2, Dry Bone = Zone 3, Horizon = Zone 4.

Blue Fog seems to look like its Zone 5 and Broken Water Zone 6.

This makes me believe that The North Thanalan image is designed to replace Blue Fog, which makes total sense seeing as the crystal tower would be right between Thanalan and Mor Dhona.

Looking at the black shroud image there is nothing on there that looks remotely like Gridania, so if Zone 4 is Tranquil it could possibly something which will take the place of that zone.

[Cicatriz]

So is that Gridania itself or all of Black Shroud? In any case, it looks nothing like either of the current maps.

Someone please translate!!!

I believe it is the Black Shroud, but at the top there is s city on the lake (this is more than likely Gridania) but remember this is a small print out of the idea, just remember that the actual maps are going to be the same size as before (more than likely)

Also something to note, in the picture, there are trees that are green on the map and trees that are red and it looks like maybe some that are dead. Does this mean there will be different "areas" of this massive forest? maybe! ^^

[Mushy]

So has each picture been identified/translated. Is that mordhona?

And these are much more than concept like some are saying, in the small boxes that point to areas, shows in-engine assets, not drawings like the maps themselves(which look much nicer than the current maps alone.

GOOD JOB TEAM!

If he really wanted to share these pictures it would take 4.68 seconds to upload them to a file host and share them on the lodestone.

But screw that, just use your imagination! Isn't that the cop out they usually give?

It is not something that is ready to be shared yet. Probably in final stages of planning.
