I have a simple hope for 7.0: The return of single-zone starting cities! (+Ishgard?)
Once the PS3 support was dropped, we no longer needed quite so many zones in cities. So we went from the two-zone structure of the starting cities and Ishgard to single-zone cities in every subsequent expansion.
One thing I've continued to miss from 1.0 is that cities were just big areas to explore, and the zoning kind of shrinks them and makes them slightly more confusing to navigate. Now another thing is just running from the city to the neighboring zone but I understand that will probably never come back.
However, I would be quite happy if we got our original single-zone cities back! It wouldn't actually change navigation via aethernet or anything, you could still zip around, but it would just make them feel like more cohesive places to visit and explore.
Does anyone else feel this way, or am I just a relic of the past?
