If you don't like it, move on... nobody want's to hear your one-sided OPINION about the game.

World doesn't feel dead/boring to me actually, the music is nice, the plants move, the rivers/water look amazing and the lighting works nicely with each zone, they are breathtaking if anything. They don't feel dead at all, from fishing, mining, cutting trees, running around doing quests/fates and watching the weather change.. again, how does this feel dead? let me guess, you're a FFXI veteran (i am too) but I remember hopping on a chocobo and taking 10 minutes just to run through a zone, a zone with nothing but plains and boring grass/rocks everywhere... no thanks, take your nostalgia somewhere else.
