Beyond 6.0 - Where Do You Think We'll Go?

I'm thinking further ahead than we really should bother to as players, (and this type of thread appears to pop up regularly, though Google isn't helping me much here), but I can't help but entertain these thoughts sometimes.

As of now, we know with 6.0 we'll be going into Garlemald, using Radz-at-han (on the island of Thavnair) as an intermediary hub city (Estinien claims to have infiltrated this way, which is probably why he's joining our Trust roster - he's likely to be our guide). How much of Garlemald we'll actually see remains to be seen, but we've got a whole expansion for that.. Of course, we also have to visit the moon...
I'm wondering if we'll see Jalzahn again and we get to find out whether or not he solved his dispute with Gerolt over that title... They may even team up for relic weapons again?

Regardless, it's unexpected! From what I could garner looking around... most people expected we would see Sharlayan. I'm suspecting that beyond Endwalker will be largely one-shot stories, instead of long-connected plotlines across multiple expansions. Which leads me to my thoughts...

What locations do you think we might see for 7.0 and beyond? Yoshi-P claims to have at least 5 years worth of plans already. Or, perhaps a better question, which locations would you like to visit?

What comes to mind for me:

  • Sharlayan seems a little obvious, as well as the Old World in general (where it's situated). Astrologian questline hints at some potential story there.
  • The New World is possible, though we know little of it - beyond that blue magic hails from the Whalaqee natives there. We don't even know how big it is! Perhaps some ancient ruins could be there, a primal threat that our WoL must face? A beast NATION even, since it would be largely wild? (would tie in well to the whole "Scions stopping primals" thing)
  • Hingashi? We've been to Kugane, but never beyond its gates! It may be a small island nation, but it could still have some plot relevance in the future, right? I personally doubt it.
  • And of course, we could visit other reflections, though we need reasons. We've been to the First, but that was a mostly-destroyed world. If we end up visiting other reflections, whether it be the Second or the Twelfth, that opens up some pretty BIG possibilities. All of which... are very open-ended, meaning Yoshi-P and team could do whatever they want with them. Maybe one of the other shards tries to invade our own?
  • Dalmasca is essentially dealt with, and their entire story so far seems to be heavily invested in the Garlemald storyline anyways, so we probably won't go back there. What's left for it? Bozja was right at the edge of it, too.

Beyond that, they'd have to add entirely new locations, right? Am I missing any known locations? I guess time travel shenanigans could return again?
What would you say feels most likely, going forward?

I'm personally disappointed that Ivalice was used for the Stormblood raids the way that they were. I love all the Ivalice stuff the most of FF locations, and was hoping to see more bangaa. I would love to visit some sort of rebuilt Dalmasca, or help them rebuild as we did with the Firmament, or maybe the IVth Legion refuses to stop fighting after Endwalker, so Nalbina Fortress becomes a hub city...
Of course, we've already had one "let's liberate this nation from the Empire" expansion with Stormblood. We likely won't do that again.
