Make it happen! PLZ QQ


Although i'm sure the endgame hub (idyllshire equivalent) won't be inside kugane, but somewhere else.
Kinda sad about it but also love the construction concept of the endgame hubs so much.
Still cool tho if we got a new city worth being in!

RMT spam now classifies as a violent act?

It hurts my soul.

I am so excited for this city. I know it's gonna be my new hang out and chill spot.

It feels like 2.0 all over again with these three new city states. I have a feeling we'll get to Sharlayan and Ratz-a-Han someday too.

Well, they did add them to the world map...

The eastern aesthetic never really does it for me. Especially because whenever it's done it usually gets pretty cliche heavy really quickly, we've already seen the "too cool for school" samurai cliche in the cinematic. When WoW did the eastern theme, i was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be very well done from the soundtrack to the scenery, and nothing really too over the top with cliches. I hope FFXIV does as well with it.

I like how this map implies that whomever the cartographer was just decided that maps were hard and just painted a bunch of clouds over most of it.

More like it's for pragmatic reasons and that SE just doesn't want to spoil aspects of the lore and story that is being kept in reserve for the future direction of the game - the cloud is clearly covering the entirety of Islabard apart from the spires of the Garlean capital poking up through the clouds ominously at the top of the map, so it's clear that the map will altered accordingly when the time comes (note also the Eorzean map is now updated to feature the Shalaryan colony actually designated as such (with the Shalaryan motherland above as 'Old Shalaryan'), and Ala Mhigo actually has it's flag and a proper graphic of it's appearance rather than a placeholder walled city that how the original Eorzea map depicted it as.)

Either that, or it's to hide parts of the map the lore team hasn't actually finalized ideas for yet, there is literally nothing there.

Lol, yeah. I know it's to not spoil Garlemald, but having half of the map just covered in clouds seems like a bold decision by the cartographer..xD

It's just fog of war, that stand for unexplored area. Like in other rpg games, where the map is empty until you explore it.
