Maps in 2.0

[Mushy]

I want an awesome map. have it 3d with exaggerated icons of towns and caves, settlements and misc hot spots, when you mouse over them they light up more and get bigger with a provided big tool tip about what you have found in the region, whether it be beastiary or ores dug up

I'm too lazy to search for the post, but there is an old dev post saying that maps will likely (or will be) revealed as-you-go, or as you discover the areas.

Eh i like having my maps its pretty dumb for a populated world that travels and one that has airships, not to have a map of the place already made.

Although if the landscape changes, it'll make more sense that the maps have to be reconstructed.

Yes please self discovery would suit me fine.

The same grid we have now on the maps but you would have to uncover each square by travelling to it.

Already been confirmed by Yoshi P. I think it's a good idea also

That's true for 2.0 but the world is still established cause its gonna buildings everywhere.

Edit: Me personally just don't what the excitement about filling in a map i find it annoying, hated I had to do it in XIII-2 for a silly quest. It's like if someone told you irl hey drive to New york but we wont give a map or gps and we are gonna take down all the signs that tell you which way to go, good luck finding your way there!!

*Goes to the store to purchase a map*

"hey shop keeper this map is blank!"

"Yeah you have to fill it in as you go."

"Well I kinda need to know where I am going...can I just get a filled in one?"

"Sure you can do this long quest (with no map to help) or pay me 473840823048023 dollars for one."

"OR...I could just go look it up on google...thanks ..bye."

That's all anyone is going to do if maps are not pre-drawn...welcome back to FFatlas, or FFwiki to get the map...

Such a dumb waste of time.

You do it for the achievement, not the knowledge of area. I'm sure people will learn maps relatively quick.

it's still ludicrous and ridiculous , ppl are just gonna open up a google search for the completed map. It's a silly waste of time. Not to mention unnecessary, and "unrealistic" even for a fantasy game .

I stand by my HILARIOUS example ^^
