I agree. My hopes for a proper representation of the sheer beauty of the Indonesian Archipelago, for example, are probably never going to be realized. I suspect such an area, despite its stunning beauty (the world’s most populous coral seas, biodiversity, and warmest oceans), is just not very high at all on Asobo’s list of priorities (assuming it even makes the list, which is highly doubtful).
And, yes, probably the same pessimistic outlook for most of coastal Africa, S. America, India and much of the Middle East, etc. All the evidence so far points towards MS/Asobo focusing exclusively on European and N. American customers (with an honorable exception for the Japan update).
Next, we are told we’ll get Scandanavia. I’m certain that makes many here very happy, and I know they’ll probably really enjoy what’s to come.
Meanwhile, vast tracts of this beautiful virtual world, particularly its tropical territories, receive little to no attention whatsoever.
