Since were trying to get SE's attention on what this game needs fixin I figure I would put out there one of the most annoying aspects that I have of the world of FF14 and that is the boring bland copy and paste aspect of Gridania and other continents. It's gotten so bad at Gridania that on Gysahl server Gridania is pretty much uninhabited by it's citizens.
I tried to join 3 behests the other day only to be the the only member present at all 3 of them......Let me tell you why Square Enix

1. No fast travel to Gridania...WE NEED airships there and back.

2. Boring bland world full of twists and turns that mirror each other exactly. Other MMO's that have
forests don't have these many obstacles...it makes this area boring, uninteresting, and predictable. We need vast open forest areas where we can come into large openings then creep in between trees when we have too...use the terrain to our advantage instead we have REd dots one shotting us from around corners.

(Don't get me started on Uldah it's the same way)

Unless you want Uldah to be the only inhabited area by it's citizens/players SE you seriously need to give more players incentives to go to Gridania, literally it's a ghost town overthere.

3. The main city is too spread out....you literally have to go too far to get from point A to point B anywhere in Gridania, it's a pain.


I put this same thread on another forum on the internet and many people said it was just too dam boring copy and pastey...

I like Gridania....as an Archer I would think it would be my perfect hunting ground to kill stuff and scavenge good materials...wrong.....I can't go where I want because of all the barriers, hell I can't even run over a root without hitting an invisible wall....

It's a shame really such a nice area hampered by development.
