Stolen off of BG which stole this off of some other forum which got it from a JP expo. This of course could all be heresay, but its fun to speculate.

Looks like our world map, but the middle lands were added

The mikey's have a plan. Djay isn't all powerful.

Guess we know how many expansions are gonna come out.

It looks like a deformed version of earth lol. This was speculation and not really anything official. Would be pretty insane if the game was that big and basically nobody played anymore. They might make their next MMO that is probably using Unreal Engine 3 have such an enourmous world map.

thats intense.

wait, I don't get it. Is the next Square MMO set in vanadiel?

No hes just saying that since vanadiel is so big, chances are the new MMO map might be even bigger.

I always wanted an expansion with access to the true mithra homeland :( (Tsahya down thar)

I wanna know how Mithras reproduced purebreds over the last several years (4?).

Same with Galka.

Female Galka would be a hentai nightmare! We need to see them.

I wouldn't be suprised if those maps were correct. Many of these rumors end up being true. That's a lot more large areas....

_________________

There are male Mithra but they are rarely seen in public.

There are no female Galkas.. they don't reproduce. Galkas are ressurrected.

Id really enjoy an expansion to the Orcish Empire. Thats something that would probably get me back for a month or two. Just to explore a little and goof around. I Wouldnt play seriously. ALthough the idea of a brand new MMO from square does get me a little excited. Just as long as it doesnt take 5 years to develop like FFXI.

I've seen it, trust me, you need not see it nor should you want to.

and yeah having to go metal gear solid through Orc Empire zones would be pretty wicked.

Orcish empire and the Gigas homeland would be badass. Orcish empire would have to have some crazy ass HNM and wtf is Davoi/Monastic Cavern for then? I don't remember reading about an additional Orcish empire. I would like to see a Gigas HNM/raid boss more powerful than Gration (or the one in Dynamis-Qufim). Mithra homeland would be cool and you might see a male Mithra finally. Far-east would be badass, maybe you would get to see Tenzen again. The Galka homeland is Altepa and it was taken over by the Anticans.

This is obviously fake and just fun to speculate on this map. Hopefully SE makes their next MMO fucking huge. If they are using UE3 then the graphics are going to be sweet.

MMOs that are too huge become desolate (Vanguard and Dark&Light) FFXI worked because different towns had different AHs so it created a varying economy and made the world feel much bigger. As long as it's fairly big and there's lots of variety I don't think it needs to be that massive.

The orcish and gigas homeland have been alluded to in CoP and other places I think. There was also mention of a southern empire. Also some items mentions being only created in lands to the "south, west east, etc."

The Gigas/Orc lands to the far north have been mentioned in the Vanadiel Tribune, the little newspaper they used to present monthly on the POL page, and also in the uleguerande range map quest (also maybe any quests involving Excenmille this old sandorian knight). That gigas boss in Dyn-Qufim is awesome, when I did that 5 blm got blown away at once by Trebuche, that's a wicked boss, lol. Male mithra probably look pretty badass. I think Tenzen is one of the best FF characters even when compared to characters in the main series, he has one of the most desperate and all around miserable journeys in any FF.
