Judging by the trajectory of the supposed comet and the locations shown above, I'd say that either there are some inconsistancies to be dealt with, or it's going to land somewhere near the west coast of the Mindartia Continent.

Because:
From Sarutabaruta, its projection is Northwest, in Sauromugue Champaign, it's projection is Southeast, and in North Gustaberg, since the tail is much shorter than the other pictures, it can be determined that it's on a more direct path towards or away. In this case it would be away. With the new posts (thanks for all the responses =D), it's pretty simple to triangulate once you get your nautical directions. I'm going to stick to SG heading SE and ES heading NW. I'd say as a result of this from N. Gustaberg it's heading eastward, though if it's tending towards east or west I can't tell (didn't even know that's where it was).

Honestly IMO this points to a -potential- crash site (that is, should it be crashing at all), of the far western coast of Mindartia, if not in the water, somewhat close to where SE places Lumoria (see conquest map while you're there).

As before: input, corrections, and rebuttals are welcome ^^

I'd say its more likely drawn, or pointing, to some place on the west mindartia continent. Probably a place in the expansion pack.
 
The first zone is North Gustaberg.
 
Will FFXI: WotG be like Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, in like we would have to go back and forth to not let that comet hit?

Theres a large Crater at the very south eastern most point in Meriphataud Mountains.

think you hit the jackpot. I remember this, and it makes sense, honestly. Everythings fine and dandy untilall of a sudden, everything goes out of control (windurst was hit the hardest by the attacks) and the mtns. are closest to there...

Yeah, I think thats what caused the crater maybe, and fucked up the landscape

Sauromague Champaign is also hugely destroyed, has tons of craters by the coast where Deadly Dodo pops, and is connected to Meriphitaud Mountains. But since there are small craters, and scattered, I'd assume it's just small asteroids coming from the Comet falling before the comet itself? =/

And for some odd reason, a certain two NM's enjoy residence in said crater.
 
iirc
The craters in SC are from spells.

The things that I want to see, Batillia Downs before it was burried, Jeuno as a small Fishing town I.E. Mhuara, SC before the magic blew it to shit (Maybe the mages casted "Comet"?), Fei-Yin and Ro'Maeve before they blew up, Tu'Lia before it went airborn. Xarcabard in it's complete form, Davoi before it was ransacked by Orcs, the CoP areas before the war, and King Rampiere... the motherfucker who solo'd Vrtra.
 
Another thing I just realized. I'm assuming the Stone Monuments scattered all over the fcking place are going to be very important in this expansion.

Yeah, those are supposed to tell Vanadiels history, right? What if they will be used to revert back to the time before the crystal war? Or something.

We live on 2 main continents: Quon Continent and the uncharted Mindartia Continent. Linking these 2 continents are the Straits of Jeuno, also the narrowest straits in Vana'diel. Beyond the straits lies Sauromugue, the Gateway to Mindartia. At the peak of the San d'Orian Empire, it once occupied this land with a castle built for the Royal Cavalry. But on one night, 3 Tarutaru mages infiltrated the castle, turning the chocobos wild, and defeated the Cavalry royally. And that was how San d'Oria lost its hold on this land. This is the well-known "Fall of Sauromugue" incident.

Yep, you're right, someone knows their vandiel history lol.

Also, @ruffy: (lazy to quote a 3rd) that actually seems like a great idea, but annoying in some ways like the one in la thiene.

here's a map I highlighted the zones if people care to figure out where the meteor was headed, assuming the continents didn't shift
 
its really hard to tell which way its going, unless we know which way the pictures were taken :( And since the moon and sun are both absent from the pictures, I dont think theres a big chance we can tell which way its headed
