Please, no more invisiible walls

One of the things in this game that really bothers me is the amount of invisible walls that exist. I would love it if they went back to old zones and got rid of some of the invisible walls. If I can see it, I want to be able to go there. One example is limsa. I want to be able to fall off if I jump near the ledge. Having that risk of falling off that area makes it more immersive.

It's a computer model giving the illusion of a real place. The rest of the world does not actually exist for you to go and explore.

They can't remove the invisible walls or you're going to go sailing off into nothingness.

You can't even go see what's on the other side of that solid-looking mountain blocking your way because you'll quickly find it's paper-thin and hollow.

I think they mean invisible walls within the playable space, there are areas in ARR where it looks like you can move between them but there is an invisible wall. I would wait to have this discussion after 5.3 OP, who knows what they will change

ARR Flying should take care of most of that.

There was a point the water in Limsa was rendered as a flat floor, but I'm not sure if that still applies since the glitch that made you fall through the bridges was patched.

Personally I do wonder how much of this is going to be patched out in the ARR world, minus the cities, once flying becomes a thing.

You're only have to block out someone's name if it's a name and shame; you're not allowed to do the "name" part of it. If it's just some random dude crafting an ingot and they have nothing to do with your post / you aren't trying to draw negative attention toward them, it's fine

They are going to enable flying in AAR, there will have to be invisible walls since they can't let players just fly beyond the zones.

I will say. FF14 invisible walls and lack of open world were the most immersion breaking aspects of the game for me when I started. I absolutely hated it and I hope they get rid of it for their next mmo. Hands down the #1 thing I would ask changed.
Like others have said, ARR flying will most likely reduce this significantly (although not completely). Going in the right direction.
