The “other” option I picked, which isn’t incomparable with the mythic idea above, is a world we’re reality is more “loose”. Landscapes can change before your eyes, life forms can transform in to other surprisingly easily, and believing a monster is there can cause it to generate.
An Astral dominion, Fey domain, and Shadow domain can have this kind of environmental flux.
 


My go-tos are pretty much always modern/urban xianxia and space xianxia, but D&D 2014/2024 is  really not my preferred system for modern settings.

I'll admit to seeing what this dev team can do with a brand-new setting, and I'm open to just about anything as long as the new setting matches the new system's mechanics. If it's a setting for 2024 the way Eberron was a setting for 3.5, I want it to feel like it was designed around at leastall of the options in the PHB.

Space xianxia ? - Im not familiar with this, any accessible examples I might explore?

And while Id love to see S&S, I wouldnt want it with 5e rules

No, but I sure wish there was. There's a ton of great  xianxia TV series on Netflix, so just grab one and imagine the setting's more Spelljammer or Dragonstar.

Or pick up the Phantasy Star core rulebook and your favorite DM's Guild version of Dragon Fist or Tome of Battle.
