Thread: What type of regions would you like to see for 5.0?

So with Heavenward we had snow/sky regions, with Stormblood we had mountains/grass plains/water regions. As the title says what type of regions would you like to see for the 5.0 expansion?

I personally would like a whole expansion based on Jungle regions like the FFXI final expansion. While we do have one some small jungle in this game I feel like it would be a great opportunity for when we go to Meracydia. I also think a proper desert region would be nice too, we get a small one but I think it would be something different and refreshing from what we are used to.

Anyways back to the point of the thread what type of regions would you guys like to see in 5.0?

Garlemald!

Thavnair or Meracydia, mostly for delicious lore dumps rather than any actual preference towards how it will look. I'm fine keeping Garlemald on the backburner for awhile.

Please add Hingashi to that, all we see there is Kugane, there is a nation beyond that to explore.

I'd actually like an area based around the Void (not meaning the whole expansion based on it though). Surely with all these creatures that seem to be able to tap into it has to be one area that is completely screwed up because of it.

So it could possibly end up us having to travel to a completely different world for that(if it's the case...never did research the lore on those yet).

The Warriors of Darkness come from the 1st Reflection, which was being lost to Light. So, no voidsent would come from it.
Voidsent come from the 13th Reflection, which was lost to Darkness.

Actually if you do the Warring Triad questline it's stated that the Voidsent come from a separate world entirely, one that unlike the Warrior's of Darkness was plunged entirely into dark rather than light. You even get to meet a survivor who states that that world BECAME what we now know as the Void, and that all manifestations of it in this world are from there.

Edit: Vexander beat me to it lol

What a meant to say was from their respective worlds.

1 - Garlemald
2 - Thavnair
3 - Meracydia
