I think it ruins the game. Not just the copy-pasted feature but the fact that the zones are huge and everything is so packed together. You can run from one end of the world to the other and only see three zones. The little towns are worthless. There's just no lore, interesting landmarks, or anything that makes me interested in Eorzea. Only ONCE did I go "whoah what's that about?" and it was when I saw the crashed airship in Mor Dhona as opposed to saying that in nearly every single zone in XI.
