    As for the zones in the original FFXIV, they were huge and uninteresting, with almost no variety. One part looked like all the other parts. And getting from one place to another was AWFUL! No one wants big uninteresting zones. That's why they broke each area up, giving each area it's own memorable touch. You have Middle La Noscea with it's Skylift! Lower La Noscea with it's Salt Strands! Central Shroud with it's Sanguine Perch!

    I remember Playing in the alpha and beta, early access and maybe about 6 months of 1.0. When you say "You have Middle La Noscea with it's Skylift! Lower La Noscea with it's Salt Strands!" It's funny because to me The zones in FF XIV ARR are worse then anything in the 1.0 version, even with the copy and pasted environments. You see, i found in 1.0 you felt like you were in a vast world. I remember taking the boat to Limsa, walking from Ulda'h to camp tranquil, Running out of anima and looking around for a teleport. Although the zones were empty, i feel and the sense of exploration was there. Places were dangerous, you walk around the wrong corner and bam, your dead. My personal opnion is when you buy and MMO you expect to be engulfed in the world and all it's wonders. Now my personal opinion is 1.0 had that feel, ARR isn't even close. It's kinda funny how in the early stages of 1.0 there was literally nothing to do besides leves, yet the world still engulfed me. Now we have ARR there is alot more to do in the open world, yet it fails in all attempts to engulf me. Personally i believe many hardcore players think what I'm about to say " ARR has one of the worst open worlds I've ever seen in any MMO" if they don't then i guess it's just me.
