There is a section of the map on the first floor not shown. They would both be 'men' if you still think it that.

Vilurum posted a list of what all the NPC say when you click on them. This list can be found on this thread
I will use his numbering.. Also, I will only use the first few words of the dialog so hopefully it won't spoil too much.
When you enter The Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi, you are on the "upper" floor. The elevators takes you down the the "lower" floor.
1. Warning - ~J12 - upper floor - SE tower - need to get to NPC from lower floor 2. Grand Palace - ~J12 - upper floor - SE tower 3. Employ - ~L7 - upper floor - NE tower 4. Due - ~H11 - lower floor 5. Anti-intruder - ~E12 - lower floor - SW tower 6. Celestial - ~F12 - upper floor - SW tower 7. Fei'Yin - ~G9 - lower floor - need get to NPC via upper NW tower 8. Crystal - ~H7 - upper floor 9. Possible - ~I4 - upper floor - N tower 10. Utilizing - ~H4 - lower floor - N tower
Numbers 1 and 7 are the ones that are out of the way from the mission route. Both of these you need to get to from the opposite floor. You also need to get to both of these while you have an escort "paused"
Check http://www.ffxi-atlas.com/maps.php?act=show&id=huxzoi-palace and it shows the two maps above, as well as a 3rd map. As of right now, the only accessible part of this zone is that 3rd map. I presume that getting to the different parts of different maps will involve some teleporting around. Selecting the Gate of the Gods (after 8-1 CS) or the east Particle Gate gives the message, "The gate does not respond..." whereas selecting the west Particle Gate gives the message "The portal cannot be opened from this side." I'm going to assume that after the update in a few weeks, the unresponsive gates will become operational.
Also, this should probably be classified as a "Dungeon", rather than "Outdoor", as you can cast Escape in here. (Puts you in Al'Taieu just next to, and almost under, the ramp.)

hmm...i dont understand this map having been into the Grand Palace and looking at this map i dont see the the zone point. SE might have changed the layout of this zone. As of the moment, the Grand Palace is a long corridor that stops at Gate of Gods. And that long hallway isnt on these maps.
If this is in bibiki, i bet it's higher than even the south part of the port. How can it not be, it has "Grand Palace" in it's name.
Possible entrances i can guess: The whirl pool there is supposed to be in one of the boat rides? A secret tunnel somewhere? In that mountain on porongu island? Through one of the doors on the dock? Someplace not in bibiki, they just gave us the map to taunt us?
I want to know! I vowed to die once or more in evry zone, i must succeed!

Mellowy is awesome, now.

I have a few theories on how you'd be able to zone there:
If this new area is connected to the actual Bibiki Bay map, then I bet that the zone entrance to it will be at F-10.
My next theory would be that the zone to this new place would be where the ??? Warmachine is on Purgonurgo Isle. Assuming you have completed enough CoP missions and have the right item or key item, you will be allowed to enter by talking to this NPC.
Or perhaps, there will be a new route on the manaclipper that will take you there directly.
Who knows! It's just fun trying to figure it out ^^;
The Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi is not in Bibiki Bay. This new area has been added to the game but is not available for play yet. It is part of the new "sky" area (God Area). With the update today let us hope that they have opened up the missions to gain access to this area. You must have gone through all of the Chains of Promathia missions to get access to this (much like gaining access to Tu'Lia for Rise of the Zilart expansion). On the Phoenix server my team is the only team of North Americans that have come this far - we are all very anxious to get to the new sky. :) Hope that helps clear it up :)
does anyone notice that this map kinda looks like the Garden of Hu'something maybe theyre connected this is probobly the first floors or something and the other ones are the top floors like Castle Zvahl

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
