Arab / Middle Eastern theme for next expansion?

[Tunda]

I would like to see Arab / Middle Eastern theme for next expansion, with writing similar to heavensward

I feel like uldah is kind of Indian culture.. Mahigans are more to center Asia theme

There is some places name in shadowbringer that have arabic words like "Souq" which is marketplace or more like "place for trading"

I hope there is no real life politics involve just the themes and names would be cool to see

Graphic update will add too much value to huge desert areas with dusty atmosphere.. dusty ground moves to the wind.. dusty tornadoes changing the maps.. something like that

edit: Uldah is more like ottoman OR turkey currently in 1500ED

Ala Mhigo in Stormblood was very Middle Eastern themed.




Cheers

We already have those... They're called Ul'Dah and Ala Mhigo.

Turky is in the middle east, I know they are technically not Arab, just like Iran, but they always had a large population of Arab people and in the Arab world they are considered by many as Arab, in any case, the pictures you show are ancient arabic style, like really really old, so old you could say they are not even Arab but of civilizations that no longer exist.

Some Arab lands take their building inspiration from ottoman's
but
As history books and historian mentioned Arabs lives like this for the past 3000 years (there are exceptions ofc not all arab like rich people have sand castles and stuff)
and Arabs used to live like this, it is even less than 150 years from now,
Now Arab lands are more civilized with huge buildings and bunch of oil

Are you trying to say Ottoman/Current Turkey were/are not civilized and after Ottoman empire broke arabs suddenly became civilized? what am I reading.

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.
