The Azim Steppe and Further.

[Iscah]

The Burn is east of Nagxia. The Nhaama Desert is north over a serious mountain range, so I highly doubt we'd go there via the Steppe.

Actually Nagxia is east of the Burn, and also south, assuming all the clouded area in that region is part of Nagxia. Either way, it's all visible on the world map - the Burn is a huge desert area surrounded by either mountains or water and only a narrow pass into Nagxia. Unless it's a tactical 'back door' into Garlemald I'm not sure it's a good way of getting anywhere.

There's a visible area of Nagxia, south of Doma, so it's possible we might end up there in a future patch? Since, like the Burn, it's been visible since the start of Stormblood but not visited in the course of the main game.

Don't mind me, just getting my compass directions flipped.

the Burn is a huge desert area

Isn't the Burn an area of land almost entirely drained of aether? It's a little more extreme than a desert, considering just how lifeless it is.

It is. I was just talking in terms of looking at it on the map illustration - a big area of cracked dry earth, craters and giant sandworms. Maybe people have just glanced at the map without deciphering the labels, and assumed that area was the Nhaama Desert, but it's clearly labeled as the Burn.

Can't agree with this thread enough. I would kill to have the area beyond the broken bridge accessible, as well as the mountains to the north and the Nhaama Desert to the west, since we know there are Xaela tribes that call those areas home. (A third clan of Au Ra was also mentioned by Koji at one point, no? I would LOVE to see them confirm that via one of these remote regions.) I just hope those places don't get the Xelphatol treatment and just end up being dungeons. .-.
