What do you think about the current copy/paste maps?

Also... what do you guys think about weather seasons?...not necessarily the ones on the real world...but how about a rainy season for ul'dah that grows flowers and grass? or a hot summer in la norcea?... if we want this, we better ask for it soon...

Something like that would multiply the size of the client by 1.5, counting just two seasons. Adding four seasons would multiply the size by 2.5 or so.

This without even counting, of course, the development and artistic resources that would be needed to redraw 80% of the world's textures.

Nice on paper, but it's not really what this game needs. We're honestly all set with eyecandy. What we need is content.
