ffxiv 1.0 question

just looking at that map...so huge. Also if im not mistaking it was one seamless world? no loads to the next area?

but in 1.0 it was always the same cave. Different locations, different enemies in them, but the cave was always the same ^^


Caves and underground passages in La Nosceas (the dark blue edits on the map)

That's correct, but it was one big empty map of cookie cutter corridors.

There were black loading screens if you switched regions, if you teleported, if you went into instances, if you went to the market wards, if you used the ferry and airships and so on.
But yes, so long you ran around in the open world within the same region there was no loading screen. Instead you had long canyons you have to run throught for 1-2 minutes between that what we have now as zones. 2.0 zone loading is faster than 1.0 canyon running.
