WHERE'S THE DARTERS!?!?!?

Coerthas...

The wind, the snow..landscape all perfect

Like many have stated they are lacking in actual danger and exploration. I know people might be burnt out on the time spent there but I think Qufim Island has actually great level design. The randomness of skeletons keep everyone alert and they are tied to the time of day. That made running for the book a strategic risk depending on when you did it. Also the tight passages were a bottleneck between 2 types of enemies. Not to mention the history of the area with a MASSIVE crag tower next to it. I have seen even the most hardened and experienced players completely lose their way in the labyrinthine corridors of the tower and getting guided through it in a party is one of my all time favourite gaming moments that I truly could NOT have ever done alone without their help.

XIV is visually really impressive though. I especially like how light affects the look of areas but level 45 areas feel exactly as dangerous as lvl 1 areas which is not dangerous at all.

Maybe they will give us real "zones" in the next expansion. Something to truly explore and not tiny tubes and paths through a small map.

QFT.


But choosing my favorite among what we have now?

I really like the Black Shroud, even the Central Shroud is overflowing with interesting things to see.

Turn 5 post clear! Nice view of Bahamut.

Actually I love housing area because of the BGM.
But I wish I'll see the day that all land are purchased..Maybe late Feb or so. :)

Btw, people still fond of FFXI and always compare to FFXIV. It's just another game so stop comparing it..please.
We know that FFXI give us fond memory but if I have to choose now, I'll never play FFXI again because every thing take time to do .. especially travel in those so-call big map.

ITT: people talking about how FFXI is better in x number of ways, barely staying on topic and not even listing a zone in XIV that they like. We get it, you loved that game, you hate this game...now stay on topic.

For me personally, I love a lot of the binding coil of bahamut, especially turn 5. The scope and design of that place is excellent and makes you feel very small.

I know it's not what the OP asked, but easily the worst zone has to be http://www.ffxivinfo.com/images/maps...ack-shroud.jpg
