The walkway out of Gridania, before it was just a zone warp:

Natalan Then

Not gonna lie, I really like that walkway @ gridania.
And Not 1.0 player but that old Natalan look damn awesome imo.

Not gonna lie, I really like that walkway @ gridania.

Gridania's walkway was at least nice. I remember the bridge leading out of Limsa to La Noscea. It was soooooo long. Took forever to get to the end! But every once in a while I do miss those long runs where you thank everything above for having the ability to auto run

Found another interesting one: Ul'dah, Ruby Road Exchange...

I do not miss the 1.0 maps, yeah they were a nice size, but as mentioned before: soooo much was a copy/paste job. Not just the odd tree, like entire lil sections of tree/small pond etc. It was just too much. Too obvious.

And why can't we have both decently sized maps (though, please, no more of the stupid canyons funneling you from one place to the next - actual, open zones, please) and interesting terrain? Plenty of other MMOs manage it. It's not like asking for bigger maps (and again: more open ones!) automatically implies copy-pasta terrain.
