Bring back zones like:

What's people phobia with anything that resembles XI? Do you also hysterically scream at the screen saying it sucks because you're playing basically the same races XI had?

The OP isn't talking about bringing the XI zones to XIV or anything like that, he's talking about bringing back open "dungeons" which are basically the same as over world maps but inside a building/tunnel, my fondest memories in games usually happen in them, it's a shame we don't have them in XIV, it also makes the game feel smaller, I always ask myself why when I go from Black Brush to Blue Fog we skip Nanawa Mines altogether when we had a "dungeon" between them.

No, we're not asking for Instanced dungeons to be removed, but having some of them being there in the open would add so much more flavor to the game, be it for story reasons (I loved doing quests/missions in XI and adventuring into them instead of going to X point on the overworld map and fight 4 mobs that spawn out of nowhere) or just because when going between zones it sucks when you're supposed to go through a dungeon but you appear at the other side magically like in Thanalan.

I'm wondering about this too. Tell anyone you want anything that was in XI and they'll tell you to GTFO and play FFXI instead because it is still there. Yet people squee with joy when they add Magitek armour and limit breaks, Costa del Sol, Doma, Gold Saucer, show something that might possibly be Viera... What used to be FFXIV is just thrown-together pieces of older FF titles and everyone seems to love it, except if there is ever mention of anything that was originally in FFXI. That, for some reason, is taboo.
