I just wanted to say to Bayonne if you read this sir, can you please pass on my (our?) thanks to the devs for the designs they've made so far. We moan alot in the community and i'd hate for them to go home feeling crap after reading our feedback. Yes the areas need work, mistakes may have been made with the limitations and guidelines the devs worked to, but the areas have so much potential right now. They're massive canavases to work on!

I hope this thread can be read in the right way, and that com reps, devs and even yoshi see it and know that we love the game and want to make it better. That's why we grumble and joke, argue and laugh.

We care loads and just want freedom to explore a truly diverse world.
I dont think the new devs should feel bad, they are just trying to pick up after the mess. To the people who did design the zones (specifically the people who made the layout and told people to do it) they should, tbh, be embarrassed they couldnt even come to the levels of their 8 year old game. Someone at some point must have been mostly done with it and went "this seems kind of oversized and repetitive". I cant image they were proud of their work. The only semi excuse they could use at this point was that they were forced to do it because of time restraints....other then that, you clearly need to change jobs, because designing zones and layout CLEARLY is not what your good at.

Its harsh to say, but when someone does something that is not very good, especially on something with such high stakes attached to it (particularly the FF name and anticipation) and your charging people money for it, you need to step up or get out.
