While generally areas in-game are simply referred to only as Zones, there are a variety of differing area types in the world of Hydaelyn. From largest to smallest, we categorize them as follows:

World
The known playable world is Hydaelyn. At this time, no other worlds are known to exist.
Landmass
This typically refers to Continents, but can also refer to non-continent landmasses such as islands or archipelagos. At this time, on Hydaelyn, "Three Great Continents" have been identified (Aldenard, Ilsabard and Othard) and at least one notable island (Vylbrand).
Region
Each landmass is typically made up of a number of regions. Some common, playable, regions are Coerthas, The Black Shroud, La Noscea and Thanalan.
Subregion
An optional designation, certain well-defined locations (such as city-states), are made up of a number of zones, but is not its own region. Examples include the city-states of Gridania, Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah.
Zone
Zones are the areas of the game defined by when one "zones" into or out of an area. Common examples are Southern Thanalan, East Shroud or Coerthas Central Lowlands.
Area
Areas are defines sections within a zone. They do not have a map pin, but are typically identified by name on the map. Examples include The Coffer & Coffin, Hustings Strip or Josselin's Spire.
Landmark
Landmarks are loosely defined small areas or structures within an area. They typically do have a map pin and are often, but not always, identified by name on the map. These can be a building and it's immediate surroundings. Examples include Scorpion Crossing, The Honey Yard or Jadeite Thick.
