About Gridania

[Squa11_Leonhart]

This thread is an open discussion to my personal opinion about Gridania's design. No raging or emo quitting threatening intended.

Gridania seems so boring and small if you compare it with the other 2 city states and the upcoming Ishgard. It's literally a small village. Few buildings some trees and that's it. Also feels relatively smaller than the rest of the city states. It doesn't feel like a city state. Even Mor Dhona feels like a proper fortress city and like a new city state on the rise. Is it possible to redesign Gridania or "enhance" it in future so it will feel like a proper city state? Just like what happens to Mor Dhona which gets upgraded patch by patch. While Mor Dhona justifies this lore wise, Gridania can use a bit of overhaul to look like a proper city state.
What is your opinion about this guys?

Unless you are talking of the whole nation of Gridania, I think you have gotten it all wrong... Pretty much any open area is wider than Gridania (the city).

The irony is, in 1.0 Gridania was far larger than it is now, but much of that space was spent on long winding twisting tunnels and passageways that just made getting anywhere a headache. It was one of the major gripes most players had about 1.0 which is the reason why Gridania has been changed to how it is. Besides, size doesn't necessary make something better - you know the old saying, "big things come in small packages." I find Ul'dah and Limsa annoying simply because they are just too big and take forever to get anywhere.
