Mare Lamentorum

Personally, I'm hoping that we get a housing district here next. I don't want the bunny's hard work to go to waste.

I personally desire a housing area in Old Sharlayan if they're going to add another this expansion.

Mare means sea in latin. The real life moon also has parts of it named this way.

Mare means sea in latin.

Lamentorum: This is the genitive plural form of the Latin word lamentum, meaning "lament," "wailing," or "grief".

Well yes, which makes it kinda funny because the region is called "Sea of Stars".
So basically "Sea of Stars - Sea of Griedf"

I really like the enemy designs (the "Empty" from FFXI).

It's such a shame that elemental damage doesn't have as much of a prominence in 14, Promyvion is honestly one of my favorite zones and having elemental resistance on random mobs would've been kinda interesting to see in 14.

Although it's meant to be a direct reference to the reoccurring Moai motif throughout the FF series, including the one on FFIV's Moon, the name references the location on Mars that was the subject of the infamous 'Face on Mars' paraediolic illusion that was taken by a probe back in the 60s (recent probes however have confirmed it was just an illusion caused by the grainy low resolution footage).

As for the FFXIV version, it's my theory that it's actually meant to be

Emet-Selch's face... because Venat still had feelings for him and wanted to let him know that (remember, she was the one who created the moon in the first place), which, to Emet, was just twisting the knife further...

but I digress.
