Nah, I'm totally sure you are right^^
Noticed the same thing. Also, for Limsa I can say..more moss, at some places the stone is original instead of clean and beautiful ground, overall the quality improved too and how far you can look.

I also noticed some of the ground in La Noscea was changed already
Like the copy&paste stone in the middle of the way which split the way into two - now on one side, there's grass, on the other is a way.
Although they forgot they were supposed to NOT copy&paste new terrain, it's a first step into the right direction
Grand Companies are great so far, too tired to play more for now.

Something else I noticed which is surprisingly fun:
There are people in this game. And they actually TALK in the chat window xD
Something that happened really rarely normally. But now, all kinds of people talking, running around, you never feel alone.
Especially funny: sudden outbursts of happiness about all the new content, people who wont stop dancing and laughing and..so on
