Feedback on FATEs

[koko-on-da-forumz]

Plus, the comparison with GW2 is not entirely honest because of how many waypoints GW2 has in each zone. While in FF, we already didn't get a 3rd waypoint in Garlemald, leading to all the "Farlemald" memes in hunt trains.

After reading the comments in this thread, I'm imagining the absolute firestorm that would rain down if an FFXIV player had to navigate TD.

It would be very, very funny.

People want to play the game, not spend time traveling and fending off random world mobs. It gets dull and unfun after the first 5 minutes.

Eureka is still popular and it's been like seven years. I don't think they will ever get rid of flight, people seem really attached to not playing the game, but it would be good for it.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for revamping the FATEs and the open world, but not at the cost of removing flight.

Then stop driving the conversation towards a change that will never happen anyway, and onto the main, principal points of the post!

HoT map design is the gold standard for MMO zones. Even GW2 maps that came after struggle to live up to HoT with how vertical and multilayered they are, the secret areas, the new paths of traversal that opened up as you progressed through the masteries, the challenging mobs, and so on.

Super agree. But somewhat controversial opinion, I also really like exploring EoD maps. Scratches a similar itch. Grothmar and Drizzlewood are also excellent, but much more focused on events than exploration.
