FFXIV has lost it's magic

[Wildsprite]

XI was never really that small post the US release ;P I played it from launch and the only zone that can even be compared in XIV to XI is the one with the new Ala migho and the hotsprings.

also. um no. most XI zones are fairly small compared to even the smallest XIV zones, you could get through most zones in XI in less than 2 minutes on foot. most of the ones you couldnt were due to obstacles. I don't think you are remembering the same game. the largest zones were like valkurm dunes , beaudacine glacier and a few select others and even those were not very big. obsticales do not make something small bigger, they just make them a bigger time waster

Post a video of you running through most of the zones in FFXI without speed enhancement or any kind of chocobo or teleport in no more than 1 minute and 59 seconds - I'm especially curious to see you run through through Crawler's Nest in 2 minutes. I definitely want to see your 2 minute run through of Velugannon's Palace in 1 minute 59 seconds and the Salt Flats in 2 minutes - you do mean end to end, right?

crawlers nest isnt possible due to obstacles. unless you are going to the small area in rolanberry that you cant get to any other way. as I mentioned earlier I was referring to zones with no obstacles. those 2 other places I assume are from the new Adoulin expansion since I never heard of them. the adoulin areas are huge compared to earlier zones. so I'll correct my statement. most zones pre-ToAU. how many huge zones are there? from before that expansion. the majority arent that big and only seem bigger due to obstacles.

now that I think about it 2 minutes probably is an exaggeration, probably more like 3 minutes for most smaller zones with no obstacles.

as for a video. my sub for XI is inactive
