I figured they'd place Dalmasca as south east of Othard to attach with Ranabastre to make reference of FF12 and Ivalice, but unless they are going differently since it is FF14?
In FFXII, yes, the Royal City of Rabanastre was the capital of the Kingdom of Dalmasca.
In FFXIV, they are listed as separate nations on separate continents - Dalmasca a nation nestled in Ilsabard's central mountains, and Rabanastre a nation in Othard. Where Rabanastre is exactly located has never been mentioned beyond "Othard" but with most of the Far Eastern map uncovered we now have a better guess for it being located in Othard's southern desert region. If you look really closely between the cracks in the clouds just south of the Skatav Range where the birds are flying, you can see the telltale yellow/brown coloring these maps use for deserts.

The same year, the republic attacked Dalmasca, a small country nestled in the central mountains, and rained down fire upon it with their new airships. Thus, the Garlean army turned to conquer the south of Ilsabard.
