I do not know what the sixth zone in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail will be, but I know it’s going to be wild. The sixth zone is almost always wild, from “secret Allagan research islands” to “underwater memory city” to “existentialist depression at the end of the universe.” And we already know that the completely out-of-place sci-fi looking city is one of the areas the designers are willing to show us before the expansion launches. The actual hidden zone is probably going to be something real wacky.
But any sufficiently big MMO is going to have some out there zones, from WildStar’s endgame forest of eyeballs to Star Trek Online’s Dyson Sphere Full of Dinosaurs. You may get used to them, but they never stop being objectively weird. So what’s your favorite weird MMO zone? What zone both sounds weird on paper and looks weird in play but is one you’ve come to be happy exploring?
