An ideal overworld zone

[Atelier-Bagur]

Seeing as the devs created flight in response to OVERWHELMING player demand, seeing as flight was added to ARR by player demand.

No.

And seeing how flying is a universally liked feature in many MMOs, Im sorry to say but people here are in the smallest of minorities wanting it gone.

Although the reasons presented are at least understandable.

I don’t think anyone here realistically thinks flying is going to go away. And I haven’t seen anyone request it taken out, just that they don’t like it. It’s more of the cats out of the bag situation. To me it’s just the resulting effects weren’t an improvement on the feeling of the game.

There’s good things about it, for example the aerial views of a lot of places provide excellent context of the zones. More over the proposed suggestions are about giving players a reason not to teleport or fly around, instead of taking choices away. I feel like the objective of people arguing against the removal of flying are just trying to derail the argument being made here about the sad state of the open world.

It’s possible people enjoy the overworld in XIV it’s current state, but I don’t know of anyone that does. I am at least somewhat confident that most people don’t care about it at all. I am sure though that a lot of effort goes into building it. These zones have to be a lot of work so it is worthy to explore ways to put it to good use other than you walked here once for the MSQ.
