A residential district along the southeastern coastline , reserved by the Maelstrom for adventurers . Wolves ' Den . A training facility that allows gladiatorial matches aboard a vessel that hit the rocks . Versions . " Version 1 . 0 " . La Noscea was popular in early 1 . 0 because of its various leveling spots for low level players . It also had Dodo s , the enemy that dropped Wind Crystals and Wind Shards which could be sold for a high price . However , only the Marauder ' s Guild was relevant to combat - loving adventurers , as both the Musketeer and Arcanist classes were dummied for the original release . As Ul ' dah became both the geographical and commercial center for adventurers , Limsa Lominsa and La Noscea saw very little activity due to the teleportation limitations and the lengthy boat ride to the island . By the time airships had been released , most adventurers remained in Ul ' dah to gather for events and sell items . Notably , both Titan and Leviathan primal battles had allegedly been finished early on , but the dual earthquake / tsunami in 2011 gave the developers pause , and they were ultimately never released for the sake of taste . The addition of Shposhae and a few other quests brought some interest back to La Noscea , but both the Black Shroud and Thanalan were blessed with myriad class quests , Primal battles , and proximity to the more accessible and popular city - states . With the exception of rich cobalt veins , mahogany trees , and packs of raptors ( the most valuable metal , wood , and leather before 1 . 20 ) in Camp Iron Lake , La Noscea as a whole fell into obscurity . " Final Fantasy XIV : A Realm Reborn " . Of the regions redesigned for " A Realm Reborn " , La Noscea bears the most open - world zones at six in all , although early concept art suggested Outer La Noscea was originally intended to be part of Upper La Noscea . Due to Limsa Lominsa containing the Arcanist and eventually Rogue guilds , as well as more evenly distributed content , La Noscea is overall more popular than it was in 1 . x . In particular , Eastern La Noscea remains popular for players at the early 30s level range due to levequests and fair distribution of FATEs for solo leveling . Other appearances . " Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call " . The BMS song Under The Weight , being ' s motif , takes place in The Navel . Additionally , the FMS song On Westerly Winds has the party travel through some landmarks in La Noscea .
