Yes I do agree.

As for the zone variety (different theme within a single wide zone) Yoshi-P already stated that they are planning the redesign of Eorzea and already made the sketches and were at the level design phase and that each zones will have 2-3 themes associated with them and that supossedly they would be very unique and different as to act as a land mark.

Plus you can refer to the popular thread about the redesign of Eorzea in my sig, at the end Reinheart quoted the translated parts about what I just said.
