I'm more than a little sad about the Crash Zone - ILZ removal, something about it just seemed.... Like it had so much potential. I always loved things like that, dangerous and mysterious locations near "home base", like the Water Dragon's Cave in 'Runes of Magic' being nearby a starter town, or Zodiark being imprisoned in a section of an early game dungeon in Final Fantasy XII....

Maybe, someday they might reopen it. Or maybe - and more likely - they might give us the potential to edit the landscape ourselves (Modding increases a game's lifespan and all that) and we can reopen it how we like. I adored the Dunes sinkhole and while the new change is pretty cool, I'll miss it dearly. If we could edit the terrain I'd shift the meteor impact back a bit and then reopen the sinkhole xD

Still, the ray of light here for me is that they decided to relocate the CZ-ILZ corridor to the mountains it seems, similar to how the original Lost River map planned to be. So, in the end I'm still happy. I remember the Mushroom Forest being a potential entrance (Which never came to be),  and one of the devs had said he really doesn't like players having so many options in proceeding into these areas, so it's unlikely we'll ever see it be a thing but.... I can't help but wonder what it might have looked like.... Alas, we may never know.
