    Could we see more open-world zones? (before 4.0)

    The island exploration in 3.1 sounds kinda like it is new open world territory.

    Could this lead to land-based areas like The Farreach, Coerthas Eastern Highlands, West Shroud, and the Yafaem Saltmoor appearing in 3.x cycle?

    They aren't going to add entire new zones in content patches, outside of the island exploration that is already planned, and even that remains to be seen as to how big or varied they will be.

    Don't get your hopes too high with that island stuff. Too much hype always ends up in disappointment. 3.0 already added really huge areas so expect new Q's on the 3.X series to add more activity on those maps. New areas will come with 4.0. The island stuff could be instanced with a randomness factor. I really doubt it's gonna be real open world but that's my personal guess and nothing more.

    I wouldn't count on it, but I don't think it's impossible. Few of us would have guessed that they'd add a new job outside of an expansion, but we got Ninja.

    Well... Before launch they out right said they'd probably release new Jobs before an expansion...

    As for new zones... Yeah, it's certainly possible. The islands zone seem fairly big, about Azys Lla sized?



    Mention of Yafaem Saltmoor certainly got me interested too, given they place it northwest of Mor Dhona, which is exactly where Revenant's Toll seems to be expanding towards... Would certainly be nice for the Mor Dhona region to be fleshed out a bit more... I wouldn't hope for much else though (or even really that), even though I'd love for them to open up Paglth'an/Xelphatol/O'ghomoro, since the pathways clearly leading to them have been mocking me since launch...

    One does expect airship content to become a regular thing though... Perhaps not new floating islands in 3.2, but maybe we fly over Western Shroud in 3.3 and land for some similar styled content?

    might not be too hard if they just copy paste Sea of Clouds.
