Will we have a "living and pulsing of life world" like this one day?

[Betelgeuzah]

It looks overdesigned and shallow.

What's the purpose of the world (other than to look good)? it's eye candy with some afterthought lore slapped on it to give it at least a somewhat of a purpose, simple as that.

I don't think they should copy other games but the lack of creativity and imagination is what I hope they will address with the landscape changes.

A true lack of creativity is making the game over-the-top because you can't think of anything interesting without going overboard and just making everything as dazzling as possible (to hide the fact that there is no substance). Making an interesting yet realistic setting is much harder to pull off.

So true. They managed to do that with XI but in XIV they forgot to put in the interesting bits.

I gave that a real life head nod... so very true
