Arab / Middle Eastern theme for next expansion?

How about Dalmasca and it's surroundings? Would sure please all us Viera players to have Golmore and the Skathay mountain range as actual regions.

Pretty sure as others stated - Radz at Han is Indian.... every time I go there it makes me crave curry..... of course I love curry

If they could stop trying to mimic real world, that would be nice. Taking inspiration is one thing, but this "Tural is americas" is one of the reason the extension was so bland. They tried so hard to be respectful of real curtures they forgot to make a good story.

I want my meracydia extension next, but I'm not sure I want it with the current writing team.

I'm sure like all games do we'll have pyramids at some point. We got mummies already.
While I abhor desert maps, I think it'd be interesting....

I love egyptian history and mythology - would love to see a fantasy version. I feel like I got my Greek Myth fix with The Twelve, and could use some Egyptian influence.

I don't think after Dawntrail they could even approach anything even similar to those cultures without Disney-fying them

[Rikizza]

Stormblood was clearly based on Asia and i always thought gyr abania was supposed to be middle east.

If the flying carpets G'raha regaled us about in EW are anything to go by, it's possible that Corvos will fill that niche. As others have said, though, there's also Dalmasca, if the aesthetic resembles what we saw in FFXII, which seems likely, given the huge overlap (obviously, we've already seen this setting's take on Rabanastre).

Dawntrail… He’s kinda important too.

Damn I must be getting old or something because I completely forgot about him, despite having gone through Dawntrail twice.

I think next expansion instead of going for a real world modern day version of a location/culture, we should be interacting with a made up, fantasy "ancient" culture or land. Then the designers can get more creative and high fantasy with the concepts and theming, and something I really like about this game is that when the designers just make up fantasy story or art designs, they always knock it out of the park.

I'm also hoping that the next place we check out is that frozen over place where the Lalafells came from. An ancient Lalafell culture that got frozen over in time sounds cool as hell.

Next expansion: 5 desert zones, with the six being a mirage.
