![]() In my opinion Eorzea is shaped either after Europe sideways with some adjustments or Greece. Now I also think that we shouldn't forget that it was stated by devs that Eorzea was based on Greece and it's city states, so the shape of the continent could also be based on Greece (maybe + parts of the countries above, especially if you smash it, make it larger and look at it in the mirror). As I said somewhere earlier, if you look at the world from Mare Lamentorum, Eorzea is too far north to be Africa and to the point, that Northern Lights are seen in Coerthas quite often. If we put it sideways like that person is saying, the Ul'dah matches with Caliphate of Córdoba (today's Spain), so it would also fit the cultural elements of that region. So in short, Ilsabard and Othard aren't simply "west and east" Asia but some more complicated patchwork, with India removed to an island, Othard being sort of the southeast quadrant of Asia, and Ilsabard apparently being whatever is left – geographically, at least, though culturally it seems like a bit of a patchwork of whatever story element currently needs a home. In the lorebooks it's described as being south of Ilsabard, not part of it – if anything then it is grouped with other islands of the Bounty in the way we use "Oceania" as a convenient rather than true continent. They've been grouped together but it's a separate island – apparently more like geologically ancient India before it collided with Asia. So Russia is either gone or elsewhere.Īlso, Thavnair isn't really part of Ilsabard. So those are the similarities but what's the big obvious difference? The game map has empty sea to the north of all this, where Russia should be. Relative to that, the Azim Steppe is Mongolia as expected, and the blue area is roughly Kazakhstan and other middle Asian countries to its south – and to the west of those is the Caspian Sea, which matches a similar small sea on the game map (a bit small to read the label. Assume the Bay of Yanxia equates to the Yellow Sea.
