6.0 Mystery Zone Speculation

[KageTokage]

I do feel like we're a touch overdue for actually seeing the aetherial sea and Hydaelyn herself in person, as they have to physically exist somewhere deep within the planet.

If the moon somehow ends up not being our final zone, I could see the heart of world being where everything finally comes to an end.

Yup, I'm expecting a visit there too. It'd make for an interesting zone, but it's a case of whether it's dealt with via cutscenes or not. With Ilsabard on the table, plus the moon, it's already an awful lot of territory for 6 zones, unless it's a very light touch tour of the former. They may choose to deal with parts of it, as they did with Bozja/Werlyt/Ivalice.

Barring more Ilsabard zones being unveiled in the May fan fest (which I'm certainly not ruling out), I suspect the plan for Ilsabard and southern Othard going forward is to continue to dip into it as needed for stuff like Werlyt, Bozja and Ivalice. Especially as we'll now have access points to it at all compass points with the addition of Garlemald to the North and Thavnair to the south.
