Yeah, that is a common myth I hear from a lot of players who don't get how zones work.

Reskinning zones, enemies, and armor etc. saves time, not disc space. I'd speculate that the long stretch of reused content has allowed Square to focus on FFXIV. The only way in which they've reused zones without taking up space is by instancing (which isn't the same). All the reskinned iterations we've seen (Dynamis, WotG, Abyssea, etc.) are their OWN individual zone and take up their own disc space. They are not just like the single zone on your HD multiplied ad-hoc and given some mood lighting.

I've wondered about this. If the official download speeds on the box have any legal/official bearing on how much they can require you to download or something.
