A remake of a zone that we loved in FFXI ?

[Dragonheart]

Hi all, i was just thinking if they could add in future (maybe in a future expansion?) a remake of a place that we liked (not involved in FFXI storyline possibly or in endgame, couse i think could be hard to do for example Sky and re-do the gods with new mechanics etc... one but just a nostalgic place should be nice! ).. Of course with the same name, same monster, geography, maybe a quest line ecc ecc..

This could be a very nice gift from SE for every FFXI fans playing on XIV ^^
What do you think about this? Wich zone you'd like to see with the new graphics ?
Personally i'd love to see a remake of Kazham zones with the jungles and temple of uggaleiph :O .. and you?

Zi'tah, or Wajaom Woodlands would be my choices.

Edit: But I should add, I'd much prefer new areas to remakes! I'm still holding out for that zone up the top of this page (I'm in denial about it being mor dhona pre-crash) to be fully realised, it would be awesome to have a giant forest/lake area with crystals and things jutting out everywhere, and not the stupid tunnel-based style of the black forest.

Can we just keep the zone's song then? I dont care what the area looks like after that.

I think Zi'tah is worlds more atmospheric and enveloping than Black Shroud.

As for the topic, I wouldn't want to see a verbatim remake of a FFXI zone in XIV. I would however love to see zones added in the same "theme". Something like Zi'tah, Wajoam would be great as mentioned. Jungle environs like Elshimo region would be great. Arctic, Northern environments with convincing weather would be great. The ship graveyard of Ilrusi Atoll was always very thick with atmosphere to me. Sea Serpent Grotto was an *awesome* area... sprawling, creepy and very thick with ambience.

In all, with what they were able to pull off with XI's environments, I can just about imagine what they could do if they put that much care into them with XIV.

I don't wanna see FFXI zones in FFXIV, I play this to get AWAY from FFXI when I'm tired of it.

Additionally the zones in FFXI are much smaller than in FFXIV... I like that I don't have to look at a loading screen every 10 mins when I have to make a long trek anywhere that I'm not teleporting to.

I'd prefer loading screens to massive wasted space and samey-looking areas.

Just one zone! Like the funny apparison in other games like a big easter egg! .. I thinked this idea when i was reading on italian forum, the thread of the remake of Halo1 (that has same geometry, monster models, weapons, mechanics, etc in a new graphic dress!)
