I think my biggest desire for this content is the fact i want to explore and not feel like I am being punished for failing during that exploration. Losing xp in XI felt bad, but they gave you tools to avoid enemies while exploring. If we are going to have XP loss on death again, give us tools to avoid combat more than "run while their back is turned"
Otherwise, Tural is an amalgam of the Americas. They can easily give us a set of zones that has multiple biomes in it. I mean California has beaches, deserts and forested mountains, the new zones should be the same.
But the thing I want most is the ability to queue up using the Duty Finder... I do not find it all that fun having to run to Shirogane or Doma to enter these zones.
