I guess not. The Great Collapse is what’s left of the Canthan District. I guess, as long as ANet doesn’t bring Cantha back into the game, we should not expect anything to see there.

I bet it would’ve been great, sadly, having a Canthan district apparently isn’t conducive to universal representation.

Apparently the blending of Asian cultural themes was deemed offensive by certain audiences so they had to remove it (imo a ridiculous thing to be offended by in a fantasy world). It left a big hole in the content at the last minute so Anet cleverly decided to represent this with a big hole.

I read somewhere it was because when they conducted some kind of poll to an Asian audience, the general feedback was “they didn’t like the fact that there would be an Asian-themed district inside of a ‘western’ city.” Like it was implying the Asian culture was subordinate to the western one…or something. Nationalism can be problematic I guess…

I hope you’re wrong, in both ways. I hope we do get to see Cantha again, but i also hope they come up with something else to put there.

I’m sure if asian game’s put a western city in an asian district, westerners would actually like it and think it was cool. but, too each his/her own.
