I think that it will really depend on how they connect the zones. If they simply take the land mass as it is now and chop it up, then yes, it will likely be just as important after 2.0.

However they could have it so that the major cities are connected via airship as they are now, and then all the surrounding smaller zones are never any more than 2 zones away from a major city.

For example. A major city could exit into 3 zones, each of those 3 zones could exit into 3 zones, and each of those 9 zones could exit into 3 zones. In this method, you'd have 39 mini zones within close proximity to a major city.

I really hope they design a completely different form of transportation, I don't like the concept of Anima.
