Old Sharlayan, especially if it also has architecture like what remains in the Hinterlands.
Also, Thavnair
There's lots of tiny sections of land which would have made interesting full-blown zones.
The Tangle (morbol swamp, mor dhona)
Dimwold (misty woods, the fringes)
Burning Wall (crystalline caves, east than)
Prism Lake (multicolor falls, yanxia)
I know Stormblood is over but I would really like to see Koshu. I live in Shirogane, I have a Hingashi style residence, but we only get to see a tiny fraction of Hingashi in the form of Kugane. I found the Far East very charming and I would like to see it expanded even more. Even if Bukyo or Daitenzan amount to a single zone, I still want to see it and possibly have just a few more Far Eastern gear/housing/item sets added to the game coming out of these zones.

One of the problems with SB is had by having both Ala Mhigo and Doma was that we only got 3 places inside them both. so there was less zones to explore. feels like we didn't get see the whole place.
There's also that broken bridge in the Azim Steppe...
Dalmasca and Ilsabard.
I know this is from WoW but the vortex pinnacle and the area outside the entrance with the buildung floating on clouds won my heart.
Can dream but its likely it'll never happen...
- Sky (FFXI) or Laputa (Castle in the sky) like area. Azim Steppe has almost that feeling of Laputa to be honest (just on a smaller scale), I wonder if they listened to this feedback for that- I quite like that area..
- Underground, ancient magical civilization, particularly I think with thick water themes (like an underground magical rivendale). Undercity from WoW might be an example but in this case I'd love for it to be not so dead.. undead.. lol, mystery allowed but not corrupted and dead nor haunted (although it could start that way and Ishgard/Doma reconstruction back to life).
- Rivendale, or other water inspired cities like Zanarkand or Altissia... There is a place that I feel quite listened to already on this point (sincerely thank you, <3), but I love them endlessly so I could "have another" lol.
- Great Dune areas but with some sort of super fantasy focal point or mystery, so like Southern Thanalan x100. Imagining a great worm (Dune lol), huge tree, large sinkhole maestrom, a sea of sand (FFXII), etc. Maybe some inspiration from Journey (that very pretty indie desert exploration game)
- A bioluminescent nature area, like Avatar (doesn't need to be a forest, could be a desert.. which could be a really wild neat effect- sand sea in the day and a wild colorful paradise at night, perhaps even new areas appear at night, flying colorful whales and floating islands pouring vibrant water into the sand sea below)
- Stereotypical "viking" / northern lands (Greenland, Iceland, some of Northern Europe). Basically an extension of Ishgard's land and the some of old Coerthas, making sure to get glaciers as well. I know they can be a bit flat so maybe with some variation like Witcher 3's Skellige. Nice opportunity to add some fantasy inspired geothermal stuff (Yellowstone can be some inspiration too).
- Zeal Chrono Trigger
- Pure nonsense zones, not just dungeon areas (which we have and are quite beautiful), like the Far Planes in FFX (that area that is a mix of waterfalls, flowers in all directions, etc).
- A madly stacked city, perhaps a bit like some of the FFIX busy cities (Lindblum). I'd love for it to be a highly inspired airship place too.
- Bit cheating but.. airship of my own. lol That's a zone.. but obviously far more than just a zone :P. (May as well also ask for a personal creation magic zone but yeh.. hehe)
- On that asking way more than just a zone.. but technically still a zone request lol.. Chocobo Paradise and related zone content
- More of a theme concept but a zone that is dedicated to just reeking of mystery and old spirit (music would be /very/ important here), taking inspiration from some of Shadow of the Colossus areas and of course their own previous content like sanctuary of Zi'tah. Mists and mystery. Definitely a slow paced zone.
