FFXI had a lot of copy/paste look at Rise of the zilart the towers on every floor was copy paste then you see them again in Beaucedine tower Most caves where copy paste Sky also was full of copy/Paste, COP area, Whitegate. Top of that the last pack for FFXI was just a big copy/paste of the area we know but just in the pass but ppl did not care much about it did we?

FFXIV is full of copy/paste but the problem is size FFXIV would be port to ps3 and they have to worry about the ppl who have 40GB HDD which i think no one should have it does not cost a lot to buy a HDD. But if they did not copy/paste the load on our PC/PS3 would be big to load every lil thing in the area diff type of flowers,sand, anything you can think about.

FFXI Vs FFXIV i think i'm more happy having Zones for ffxiv if that means we could get less copy / paste. I did not mind zones that much in ffxi with now FFXIV allowing us to zone and still get chat from /tell /p /l zones would not be a big problem in ffxiv.

I agree with the ppl saying cut the area and add more zone and make them looks different.
