They want to support 1000 players with 400+ battles going on AT THE SAME TIME in every zone. So depending on the server capacity it won't ever EVER lag except for global events like the final battle of 1.0

Zones are better, there's a reason pretty much all seamless world MMOs are generally bland or designed the same.

The continent of Northrend in WoW is one of the best things, scenery wise, that I've ever experienced.

Sorry to say this but only FFXIV's seamless world MMO is bland.

Visible zones with loading screens are better than invisible zones with surprise mobs killing you before you can even see them.

And a zillion times better than dealing with copy-paste landscapes just to allow "seamless" zones.

In 1.0 you still traveled between zones, it was just far worse. Instead of dealing with a 2 second loading screen, you had long tunnels everywhere. They were awful and made areas way bigger than they needed to be for absolutely no reason.

I demand a chocobo on my loading screen.

That is all.

I actually like that the name of the zone appears in the loading screen. A lot.

Love the new zones. Everything we've seen scenery wise looks leaps and bounds better.
