I know it’s the early days of a new edition and old favorites are clamoring for updates, but I’d like to put it out there and maybe make some noise: I wanna see more of the world! I know a Southern Garund Gazetteer or an Arcadia Campaign Setting are a little niche for the first few years of an edition, but more little glimpses across the world would help scratch the itch for unfamiliar setting content! I’m not exactly giddy to expect the next few years to stick around in the Inner Sea, and something like this would be a joy.

I'd love to see and collaborate on this type of product. Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Distant Shores was a delight to work on, and it was a big opportunity for newer developers to establish the canon for part of Golarion.

Aren't some of these areas left blank on purpose so that home GMs can put vast and complex realms of their own there without having to step on canon? Or am I thinking of other areas?

Sarusan is, I don't think the same can be said of the other regions.

Geb, Nex, Alkenstar, Thuvia, Rahadoum, Sodden Lands, Absalom (the ages ago 3.5 book that's out of sync with most of the setting doesn't count), there's plenty of Inner Sea that's mostly untouched. I'm not against occasional forays, but I'd rather see the core setting done first.
Absalom is getting an entire book?

No, I’m aware, I was pointing out that asking for something we know we’re getting seems silly.
Wait, what? Guide to Absalom is out of sync with most of the setting? I thought the book is quite good.

"It's a good book" and "It's out of sync with the rest of the setting" are not mutually exclusive statements.
Not only is the Guide full of outdated information (to begin with, Lord Gixx disappeared recently and the city is in political turmoil, there's been 10 years of mostly Pathfinder Society related events in Absalom, some of which nevertheless impacted the whole city, such as the Fiendflesh Siege), it also contains elements of the setting that were dropped along the way, such as cornucopias and it obviously doesn't represent the latest developments, such as the influx of Lastwall survivors.
It' a fine book, it's just pretty much outdated.
Ah, that. I thought you were implying that, from the beginning, Guide to Absalom was out of sync with most of the setting and had many errors.

Now that I have been thinking bout it, I wouldn't mind if Paizo would follow the footsteps of TSR and have different official settings. Like those that the west coast wizards guys picked up.
IIRC one of the big lessons Paizo learned from TSR is Never become your own competitor through having many official settings.
They have only one setting and it was built so that you can tell almost any story you want within its confines.
