I don't think we'll be spending enough time in the La Noscea/Thanalan/Black Shroud zones for SE to remake them for 6.0. At most, we might have a solo instanced duty with the zones being instanced to handle the heavy traffic at launch.

If there was going to be an entirely new La Noscea zone, I would imagine it would have been unveiled at the Fan Fest.

Right. The bubble is there but appears to be empty at first. Parts of Alexander don't appear until the 3.0 MSQ is completed and then another change when the player continues deeper into the raid quests. But most of the change occurs inside the bubble where players can't go (the spots where the "hands" appear for the raid portals being exceptions).

We do see changes to parts of zones for many of the beast tribes and Doman Enclave but other than Doman Enclave, those specific locations aren't part of MSQ or you're past the point where the location is relevant to the MSQ before you can unlock the beast tribe.

What changes we've seen that are directly related to MSQ have tended to be backdrop/skybox. It's likely to avoid continuity issues if friends are helping friends. It's still a problem in a few spots (the Magitek Shield Wall in Yanxia is an example) but I'm sure SE would prefer to limit those problem places.
