The maps are huge, the world is pretty big, but the problem I have with it is, there's nothing to do in most of it. In the coerthas, for instance, you could have a half dozen outposts with npc's sitting there waiting to give you mini-quests, or be part of larger quests. You could also do group content, etc. And I don't mean the tele crystals, I mean outposts, like an extended family's farm with a dozen or so npc's that have random problems with rodents or need something run to a neighboring farm half way across the map, etc. I don't have any great desire for a million dungeons and none of the easier content you can do solo or with a party of 2-3. You could put a dozen sprinkled across each zone that would make the world feel less empty. And what about the cities like rabeo/norg/kazham? that are larger, and have a community? I'd enjoy seeing the world feel a bit more populated and not a bunch of empty space.

There are outposts now, but as far as little towns go I'd like to see one kinda like Selbina from ff11 with its own bgm.

11-28-2011, 03:22 AMnormalforceBah! I thought they were going to be in 1.20, I read the last Letter From the Producer wrong. But still, it's something to look forward to. Hopefully this isn't the only new thing coming to those Hamlets.Quote:

Just seems like a waste of a lot of open space. Even if the little mini quests are repeatable, it would offer something else to do other than big dungeons. And I don't know about other people but i can't stand leves.

11-28-2011, 04:53 AMnormalforceThere are a few quests available the hamlets.Quote:

And there are two over at Wineport.
I'm not sure about the other hamlets, as I haven't spent much time exploring them.
And what TheVedis said, some of them, like my Botany quests take you to Quarymill. -

But what about those outposts they added some patches ago. They seem completely useless to me. Are there an y quests? there is only like 2 npc's each.
