One to Fifty, One Zone - Long OP

[Siobu]

I hope everyone knows I read every single post and appreciate every one stopping by.

I threw together some random scenery thumbnails for every one to pick apart if desired, randomly choosing sections of the map that seemed different than the others immediately surrounding it:

With unique areas connecting our regions together, unique dungeons, and each zone serving a purpose in our characters lives (a level range, a milestone), I believe the world of Eorzea will flourish thereafter.

Stay tough through the weekend and let's get ourselves a crown. And hopefully an adventure.

Looking through each of those conceptualized areas you made makes my mind explode with the possibilities of how unique and awesome each sub zone would look if they actually put work into them. A+++++++

Do you have any idea how damn cute your sketches are? I hope SE takes note, the suggestions here are just too great to pass up, and the visual aids are a fantastic touch.

I am once again thoroughly impressed. I have no words that would do what you all have put together here justice. It's not just the OP, but the concepts, sketches, analysis, and community cohesion that is truly impressive.

Bravo.

This is the most progress FFXIV has made in 8 months....

OMG such good work here Siobu, honestly this is a very good sketch expressing the concept. Wouldn't it be exciting if the dev or producer would say "hey here is what we plan for the design of the zones" and show us something like that? That would create such hype and hope. I doubt this will ever happen but it's still sad to think that in 2 days you/we come up with all these ideas and that with 5 years of development the game looks like it does today (looks the same as it was shown in the development vid posted earlier).

Anyways I hope they do address that issue, I think it's what all the community is asking for, and maybe they should have reworked the zones when they were in the testing phase.

Siobu those little pictures look really imaginitive already! More so than what we currently have in Eorzea
I'm really thinking about getting into photoshop again and use your pictures for inspiration.

Also good to see how many of you are using your Sig to help spread the word! Great job everyone This topic is skyrocketing!

yeesh i wake up and there like 8 more pages to go through, guess its clear people want some sort of response (doesnt seem to be happening) I still find it funny that SE is one of the few MMOs being run where it feels like they just plain old shut down on the weekend.

hope you dont mind Richard, but im going to nab your "support the re-design" thing and add it to my sig.

Also would be cool to see some more map re-designs out there, im not very artsy or good with artsy PC programs, but i know a lot of people out there can, KEEP UM COMING!
