Some theories regarding future plots with Criterion Dungeons (Might be 1.0 related)

[Kaliesto]

I think Criterion Dungeons might be used to wrap up some loose ends if Sil'dih is anything to go by which has been mentioned since 1.0?

Its worthy to note there was a Mine underneath Ul'dah in 1.0, and I'm starting to suspect it would had something to do with Sil'dih at the time (just a guess, nothing is actually known about that Mining Dungeon).

So going by this here are my theories:


Kan-E-Senna & Gelmorra:

I suspect at some point in the future will finally get to uncover what exactly Gelmorra was, and in 1.0 we were supposed to explore a dungeon that involved Gelmorra somewhere in the West Shroud (it was called the Knights Round) according to the Speakers Network on youtube.

Aymeric & The Dawn Vigil:

Little is actually known about the Dawn Vigil from 1.0, but it became lost after the calamity.

Merlwyb & The Bloodshore Hollow

There was quite a bit of dungeons in 1.0 La Noscea, most of which has become lost or re-worked into 2.0.

However there was a dungeon called the Bloodshore Hollow and deep inside the cave is a strange looking city-state that is very similar to Limsa Lominsa (showcased in the Speakers Network). A failed City-State of La Noscea would be pretty interesting to see.

Not 1.0 related:

Lyse or Raubahn & ????:

Now here is the thing about the Stormblood Zones, there is so many underused locations that I don't know where to begin. It could honestly be anything that the Dev. Team couldn't implement at the time.

It could be that gigantic tree in the Fringes (there is a weird blocked entrance there)
It could be The Ziggurat in the Peaks
It could be anything in the Lochs (if I had to place bets it would be the crypt tunnels)

But if anything it would probably delve deep about the Mad King Theodoric (he would be interesting as a undead villain).

Gaius Van Baelsar & Garlemald:

Alright you all probably wondering why him? Honestly he fit well for a role in Criterion Dungeons.

I can't say for sure what in Garlemald's history would be of interest though.

Magnai & Underneath the Azim Steppe:

I think a lot of us have been wanting to know what the heck is underneath the Azim Steppe, its quite possible something large lays there besides what we know of it story-wise.

Hien & ????

Honestly don't know, was there any unexplained areas of interest that could tie in with Hien?
