Why did they changed this from version 1.0 ?

[Icarian]

I still can't grasp how people can say 1.0 overworld was amazing with a straight face, did they only play for 5 minutes? The terrain way copy pasted to hell and way back over and over and over, caves? They were the same freaking cave turned around with three freaking moles in them, ramps in Thanalan? the whole section was copy pasted for every ramp, it was horrible and anyone who says 1.0 overworld is better than 2.0 either didn't play or barely touched 1.0 and didn't notice it.

Just a little reminder of what La Noscea was like back then.

Or they just prefer an actual expansive overworld you could actually explore instead of a claustrophobic corridor hubworld cluttered with static meshes and npcs copy-pasted every 2 feet.

That shit is EVERYWHERE.

With cheap teleports to any zone, and instant teleports to dungeons, there isn't even a reason to traverse the terrain anyway!

Just sit in the lobby... err I mean "city" doing dungeons.

Do maps, FATEs, mine, gather and fish.

Explore exactly what? copy pasted terrain you see every 20 steps? lol.

Wait, you described 1.0 there, yet you are defending 1.0?

As i said be for i didnt had time to play a lot,i was only in the betas, and they were short with a lot of problems ! So i pusonaly cant say a thing about the repeat !
But it seem a lot of people including me, were are missing the huge open space of the old world and the better textures ! What if they make the worlds big as the version 1.0 but unique like in version 2.0 !

Would not be this great ! I pursonaly like the worlds in version 2.0 but with that size and the loading screens i feel like i run in small square, you dont really need a chocobob for transportation, and you may feel some times claustraphobic !

But all this is my pursonal opinion and taste !!!

not sure if you noticed ARR has a ton of copy & paste too.

Actually the reason the copy/pasted open world from 1.0 was scrapped was because even good pcs could barely run it without constant crashing... so yeah. Not just 'ps3 limitation'

i ran it fine and still using the same PC. even ran 3 screens 50+ FPS. people just had weak pc's who couldnt run it, some people cant even run this game maxed out and its way more forgiving.

Most people won't acknowledge that because it is their "strongest" complaint against 1.XX <-edited from 1.0 to stop the inevitable 1.0 sucked, you mean 1.23 blahblahblah.

I miss overly large areas, and I don't care if they copy paste the same ridges at different angles on a map that is 10x the size coerthas is now. I was an explorer, I made parties that killed unusual mobs instead of living in natalan, and I hate that every zone is just a lobby to queue from now.
