Of course there's also those who has OCD-tendencies to point out those "copy-paste terrains", which I personally never had problems with. In fact,
Just because you didn't have a problem with the blatent copy paste in 1.0 everyone else who did was OCD? Mmmm kay. Maps in 1.0 where desolate with very few clumps of mobs, very little NPC areas and no reason to explore because it all looked the same due to the blatent copy paste to save on resources.

If you thought 1.0 was a good example of an open world you have never played in a good open world. Star Wars Galaxies for one, massive maps with countless hiddens things to discover, On Dathomir at times you could see NPC battles between Nightsisters and rangers. On other planets, battles between rebels and imperials, THAT was an example of a good open world set up. FFXIV 1.0 is not.
