Spoilers for the Occult Crescent entire questline, I guess
When I realized that the Occult Crescent storyline will center around the Fifth Astral Era, I was thrilled because it is the past era I'm the most interested in and I knew from the lore books that there was twelve city-states, each revering one of the Twelve. Since then I was awaiting the day they would cover the topic one way or the other, and when they added South Horn with buildings and architecture from Amdapor, Mhach, Nym and Skalla (and the new one, Karnak), I thought that the North Horn will display the remaining city-states, it seemed logic to me as the place is dedicated to the twelve city states
Now I realize how silly I was, like OF COURSE they won't create 7 new city states from scratch, with each their own defined identity, religion and magic specifities just for a battlefield zone side content, that's perfectly reasonable, but still, I wish we would get more of the remaining ones, even just as names drop. When Archive told us he knew the names of each of the twelve cities when he met us and neither Limsa Lominsa nor Tuliyollal rang a bell, I thought we would at least have that, but nope :c
We learn a decent chunk about Karnak, have some vague entries about two more cities, but that's about it
The final quests and the NPCs dialogues once you did them imply we could come back to the Occult Crescent one day, but you know, I still feel like this is a missed opportunity
Also from an in-universe perspective I think that's insane, you have someone telling you that he knows about the forgotten cities that completely vanished from History and NOBODY is asking him about it, AREN'T ANY OF YOU CURIOUS
Once again, I know that's on me for having unrealistic expectations, but still... Anyone else disappointed in that matter?
