「新生初期2D MAPは全てブラインドされていて、旅をして解放される」とか、
In 2.0 the base 2D map is all blind and you have to travel to unlock

With the recent translation it has been revealed that in 2.0 we will start with empty maps that will be revealed to us as we go.

Speculation begins here:

• Will there be acheivments tied to unlocking maps?
• How many awesome hidden landmarks do you think there will be?
• How long do you think it will be until players fully graph the new globe? (I know it will be one of the first things I do in 2.0!)
• Where do you think will get the most awesome overhaul in 2.0 maps? I'm rooting for the black shroud to become a downright amazing zone.

What do you think the best thing that is going happen in 2.0 regarding the maps?

*edit*

To add my own personall opinion to this I hope the maps are damn hard to fully explore! I want challenging areas to explore. Who is with me on this one?

Yoshi has said each zone is being designed to have three unique "themes" so the amount of exploitable land marks should be significant.

As long as it's possible to sneak by them (no matter how hard) I can't wait the best part of exploring is knowing that every corner could be your demise! I'm seriously pumped for this.

please give us the spells sneak/invis :\ and add mobs with true vision also....i miss being able to explore an area with those spells and not have to worry too much about getting agro, unless of course the spells wear off

oh and add mobs that agro to spell casting, like those elementals

reminds me of the first time i ran through la theine with sneak/invis, had to recast, and a wind elemental came and killed me ;( fun times

I have clearly stumbled into some crazy universe where I agree with Rokien....

It will be cool because each area of a zone will be aimed at a similar level

So the lower and mid level ones will be easy to complete but every zone could have that 1 area that is high level and tough to get through...
I would definitely LOVE an achievement tied to them
