Theories including the new nameless zone (spoilers ShB)

[Gameronkeyboard]

Since they showed us the new zones i noticed some interesting things in the art of the floating island zone that looks like zeal from chrono trigger.

art showed to us at liveletter

if you look closelly you will see some structures like the one in amaurot

but not only this, in another island we have somthing that looks like a circumference like the one we see in azys lla

So i have two theories for where this place is, first of all and the most plausible. Meracydia.
And the second and most improbable, The past of azys lla or somewhere of the allag.

and this can be further reinforced if we consider that the name of the place was not revealed for reasons of spoilers. What do you guys think about it?

Sorry for my bad english, since it's not my primary language

Thavnair
Garlemald
Labyrinthos
Mare Lamentorum
(The Moon second area)

That leaves the mystery area which may be after Garlemald.

I'm thinking it's the real Voor Sian Siran. It was mentioned in the game that the floating lakes in the Sea of Clouds were named after a mythical floating paradise, and that certainly fits the bill.

[Gameronkeyboard]

could it be, but this not explain why they hide the name of this place, since theres i not much players who remembers what is Voor Sian Siran.

I mean, if they're censoring the *NAME*, the name itself has to be significant.

Venat's Prison.
Hydaelyn's Abode.
Refuge of the Twelve.
Somehow, actually Zeal.

Something along those lines, is what I'd guess.

The only thing I'm theorizing on is that, given that it's full of floating islands and is much healthier looking than Azys La, that wherever that is will be connected to the Island Sanctuaries.

When I saw that area I was like ZEAL!!! Which has been a long desire of mine (that collection of like inspired fantasies). While just an area that has Zeal vibes is awesome enough, no more needed, if it was the area for, or at least some part of for, Island Sanctuaries I might have a physical reaction of joy. Slap my knee or something lol. That'd be awesome. Either way, looks Zeal inspired (and or similar vein of fantasy concepts, castle in the sky, sky - ffxi, etc), and I /very/ much like.

Would be interesting if the Sound from the core was Lavos inspired then, given Zeal potential influence (although again there is a lot of sky island fantasy to pull from as mentioned above). Might be a cheeky opportunity to make Zodiark gain different light quickly, if he was only so easily locked away as he was preoccupied locking away 'Lavos 2.0', and with him unable to tend to the seals they've grown too weak to even be repairable. World eater coming to dine 7.0.

Personally not enough of a feeling to give it a specific name but I enjoyed reading other's ideas :3.

I've already started calling it "Sanctuary of Azem" or "Azem's Palace". By the way Gameronkeyboard, I thought your English was superb.

I'm still struggling to decide whether this place is on the moon or on planet Hydaelyn-- or a secret new seventh city hub on a brand new world that is accessible after one beats the Endwalker MSQ. Actually, during the fan fest stream, I noticed the tallest structure's alarming similarity to the Mare Lamentorum video.

The next thing I noticed was the BGM which is almost exactly the same used in the phantom city of Amaurot on the First-- which heightened my suspicions that the area likely has something to do with their people. Perhaps some survivors made it the Source-- perhaps only Azem?

My other theory (unlikely?)is that it's Azys lla which has been rejuvenated after we hit some mystery switch-- with Gra'ha's help-- and with Estnien giving it a kick-- dunno. Either way, I'm as excited as everyone else to find out what this place will be like-- perhaps it might even be a new type of "Sky" hunting area, just like in FFXI (its an aerial city the two Zilart princes built).

Somehow, my instincts keep screaming that this might be a last place of refuge for whatever madness the Devs have in store for us as Eorzea crumbles.

A silly thought-- I know, I know.

There has been a pretty steady focus on Azys Lla since Heavensward so it's not impossible.

In addition, Gameronkeyboard's theory about the similarities of that crystalline structure on Azys Lla is a great find...

I'm still focusing my theory that the area likely has to do with Azem-- after all, (he or she?) was a "traveler"-- at some point, there usually is a need to call somewhere home.
