Zone Transition?

They need to go back to the zones idea like FFXI and make the entrances to the different zones resemble the area you are heading to.

Now I understand as of now the game doesn't have much zones, however I have always been bothered by the way one place would transition into others. Now I'm not talking about an open area such as Thanalan to Nawana Mines, which is a nice transition.
More from Thanalan's desert to Gridania's expansive forest. There's no ease into the new zone. It's an abrupt change and kinda takes away from the immersion and sense of change.

I believe this should be changed and implemented in the near future.

I, too, believe they should either add transitory zones to make the change from true zones to another more smooth or add seamless transition for each zones with new data map swaps.

They need to go back to the zones idea like FFXI and make the entrances to the different zones resemble the area you are heading to.

In FFXI, very few zones truly had entrances to new zones with elements of that zone (La theine plateau to Valkrum dunes, where was the transition? for example). I am talking about true definitely noticeable transition for outside zones and areas.

Yoshida-san said they would redo certain maps in the future, hopefully they will add areas transitions and zones transitions.
