I love this game, I really do. For some reason though, I'm having trouble finding memorable places in it the way I did in FFXI. Even WoW has some memorable spots for me. Eorzea is growing on me, but after a couple of years nothing has really hit me the way some places in FFXI did and I'm not exactly sure why.

It's probably because the ARR has many zones but they all fall under the same regions AND share the same themes, even if they are hand molded to be unique and have many more decoration objects to them. The majority of their naming convention is also sub-region. Example: Central, north, east, south SHROUD. They share similar names and they share the same floor theme, even if they have different flavors and weathers.

The aetherite probably doesn't help either. Now, I'm not gonna demand it to be removed because I've been a massive abuser of this feature but using this feature doesn't hammer the memories of terrains the same way it did with constantly walking back and forth to get to places (those whms wont get my money!). The lack of dangerous monsters in the overworld is probably a factor too. Having dangerous monsters I want to avoid would make me look at my surroundings more and help me memorize nook and crannies more. Hell, I still kinda remember what you're supposed to do to get to the deeper parts of beadeaux. Or oztroja...
