Roadmap question ~ What does "radical changes to the in game world" mean

[Jinko]

Geometry may very well be transferable between game engine but we aren't talking about a handful of small objects we are talking about a whole zone... lolz

The way zones work in 2.0 is very different than the way they do in 1.xx, which I already said.

Go and try and be clever and condescending somewhere else.

"Condescending", do you even know what level design is? It's objects (compatible with every client, as you know, it's just mere objects), geometry and textures. If 1.x supports this, it's very likely "2.0 maps" are compatible with it as the simple design of areas isn't specific to any engine.

They can incorporate every FFXI zone itself into XIV if they wanted to, the only thing that wouldn't transfer over is monster/npc data. This is the first time I've heard any one state level design is engine specific.
