I would love to see a more expansive world, the same 5 zones gets a little boring. I loved XI because each zone was unique and made exploration fun.

I'd also like to see more cities and places you can actually go to and do things in, not just a cluster of NPCs sitting out in the middle of nowhere. I think it would be neat if there were more in depth story lines tied to each city/town or faction.

I would also like to see XIV use more of the vertical axis when it comes to navigation. Meaning, in other MMOs, you're able to climb up and down on top of buildings and really explore a city in your own way. I've played DnD online and my favorite past time was running around on the rooftops. Why should we be limited to the fences and the majority of invisible barriers that keep us safe on the ground? Wouldn't it be more fun to be able to take that short cut by jumping over the railing in the coliseum to get to the lower level? Or jump off towers or docks in Limsa and go for a swim? Sure some jumps could end in peril, but that's what makes it fun.
