Which location(s) are we likely to travel to in the next expansion? *SPOILERS*

[Iscah]

I just had what seems like an obvious thought, but Ala Mhigo might open up as an actual city - an early-game hub area perhaps, especially if we are travelling eastward (whether to Thavnair or Ilsabard).

[Duskane]

my guess somewhere tropical with Dense forest
with Ninja as poster boy

[Jandor]

I'm not sure we'll really go anywhere new, maybe Thavnair and the currently obscured area that links it to Othard.

I reckon 5.0 might end up being the expansion where they overhaul a lot of the existing world (and systems) we already have, rather than adding a lot that's outright 'new'.

I'd like that in some ways if done right, similar to the way HW kept you in old areas for much of the start. Could you imagine flight in ARR areas? If you are mentioning an overhaul of the existing world, why not have a dream like that? Aether currents in the North Shroud could be a fun to find.

I'd quite like a lot of ARR areas to be merged (and expanded where necessary) with flying and swimming added.

I imagine it's not an incredibly popular opinion though.

The problem with this is the amount of work required to simply redo what's already been done.
The entire game would change, ARR, HW and SB would all need to be tweaked, every side quest, every fate...

The end result would not be worth it, people already complain about there not being enough new content.

4.3 MSQ spoilers

It's becoming increasingly clear that we are headed into Garlemald in 5.0, with multiple Scions already making their way toward it

[Belhi]

SE tends not to do huge curve balls in where we are going next. Even Doma we expected to go to eventually, just not at the same time as Ala Mhigo. I think with 4.3's MSQ we can all but be certain where we are going next. After all, it is were the action is.

[EdwinLi]

At this point all story hints point to Garlemald.

heck we even gotten confirmation that there is a Garlean that want peaceful solution have taken a large control of the population opinion so even with issues with what happened in 4.3 the ally Garlean faction seem to have grown enough for possible locations to be neutral grounds in 5.0.

We also gotten hints of our enterance into Garlemald been through the Ala Mhigo area (most likely a new npc may bring use through Ala Mhigo zones into Garlemald areas in 2.0 area).

Pretty much that, the question is, how deep in there and are there other areas we'll visit?

(Also shoutout to the guy on reddit whose predictions made 4~ish years ago have been coming true so far.)
