Eorzea Then and Now

[SirSaber]

I hope you all remember the Copy Paste in all those wonderful places yes ?

Specially La Noscea.

The Maps were big and all but lots of lots of the places were reused over and over again.

Here, have a look at what I'm talking about :

And this was present in almost every single place (besides cities) in FF14 1.0
It's the reason why I disliked the game's maps, I prefer them small and unique than big and repetitive.

And why can't we have both decently sized maps (though, please, no more of the stupid canyons funneling you from one place to the next - actual, open zones, please) and interesting terrain? Plenty of other MMOs manage it. It's not like asking for bigger maps (and again: more open ones!) automatically implies copy-pasta terrain.

Why not bigger ?
The bigger the maps the longer the loading time, in 1.0 it took me minutes to load a map when I teleported and the more crowded the map was the worse it got.

And how long would it take for PS3 player to load those bigger maps?

I think the Devs made them so that they're neither to small nor too big.
You might like big butt maps but I can imagine allot of guys whining about the map being to big when they have to go from one point of it to the other just for a quest.

The Devs tried to please the majority of players, it's a choice they've made.

I'm okay with the maps now.
