This is untrue, coming from someone whom has visited both in the last 2 weeks. While the outside architecture looks like they are similarly placed those two specific locations, Delkfutts and Fei'Yin, are very different internally and externally. Delkfutts is placed within a mountain with many winding staircases leading upward. Fei'Yin goes downward and has crumbling surfaces everywhere, section blocked off by fallen walls, the side rooms.

The areas you are thinking of are probably the 3 main teleport areas. Those have relatively identical design to each other with very tiny differences that mean almost nothing. That being said you can't compare XI areas to XIV, the tech for XIV is far more advanced so they should be able to and have the drive to make more original areas to abuse that.

People have glitched into the new areas and are posting pics and vids and sadly they look they same as current areas. I am hoping that those are just place holders and it is changed upon release. I'm more excited about the music in those areas ^_^
