Greetings everyone,

I apologize for the delay in getting a comment to you all about this. We are aware it is a hot topic in the forum, but it’s one that is difficult to provide a satisfactory comment on. Firstly, I want to bring attention to the following comment was posted by Yoshida on the Japanese forum back in March:



We brought up the concerns being presented by the community, as well as the comment made above, to Yoshida again today.

In regards to the overall direction, he said that nothing has changed and he is still dedicated and moving forward with the edit work.

Next, in regards to the main focus of this thread, that the game is just a single area filled with monsters of different levels; the necessity to revamp this has not changed and we feel stronger than ever that along with the edits, each area should have its own specific theme.

However, as stated by Yoshida in the comment before, please understand that there is a large amount of work to be done and it will take some time before we can even share the information with you. Once the new designs start to take shape, we will make it our top priority to share them with you.

This is honestly the best response I think I have read

We just want to know whats going on, and that you guys know these issues are a problem and have said yes, we are going to fix.

Thankyou <3

The next step would be to release a very rough outline of your plans, something like summer-battle plans, fall-jobs/materia, winter-insert whatever here, and just let us know where you guys are at, also that would help us alleviate some of our concerns of whether or not your gonna work on something and let us focus on giving you feedback for the topics at hand.

good job guys and thank you very much to the dev for posting not only in the NA section but the German and JP threads too. I'm going to venture a guess and say that a majority of this re-designing will be done by PS3 release. I am overwhelmed with a sense of satisfaction that at least now we know there are plans in the works.

Congrats, this is how rapport should go!

Amen. The fields look like a blank sheet of paper to put something interesting on.

I definitely want them to make THESE areas interesting first before even thinking about adding new areas. If they add more fields before fixing this mess then I bet the main areas of XIV will never get a proper overhaul they desperately need.

Honestly I'm looking maps at every 30 seconds just because judging by the visuals I could be in 40 places of the same area.

Holy cow! So true. I never understood why I always have to look at my damn map in FFXIV. I never did it in FFXI and I always just figured it was because I started w/ the map in FFXIV therefore I was being too lazy to memorize the zone. However, looking at the map every 10 seconds is the opposite of lazy. It's actually quite annoying; and a chore. Why would I do it? Well you just answered my question! Thank you, haha.

Bayhone, that's about as satisfactory as a response gets. Thank you!
