Please make the world more expansive.

The whole idea of having 3 zones with a city in each zone makes the game world seem tiny even though it's huge.

I would love to see more zones added in -between- the current zones so when you run from city to city you don't just see 2 environments but 3-5.

For limsa maybe have an island where the boat from limsa docks and another boat leaves to thanalan. (and vice versa)

This would make the world feel less structured and thrown together and more expansive and dynamic.

It would also help if these zones had lots of agro mobs making it difficult for jobs under rank 25 or 30 to get through them. It would help to spread the population out as well as create a sense of adventure and discovery when new players begin (ex. they cant just run to every city the first day).

Ah, it's not only 3 zones with a city =)
Just add other than Coerthas and Mor Dhona the other places that noone ever heard about that you can get from NPCs. I believe this world is bigger than we can imagine.

I am in for a more dynamic world, even if I'm ok with what we have now, but I prefer the Dev team to do it by themselves, without any suggestion from us. Then when they have an idea we can argue about it.

From all the recent info, it seems they want to divide each zone into 3 regions, each with their own landmarks & style.

I don't know how they will accomplish this, but I think it will be a great improvement if they succeed.

5 regions have yet to be released, plus existing areas in the current regions.

That + the current area redesign should suffice for the time being.

addiction add on for the boat at LL, if the boat instance dont use to anything, why not make it so player can enter it freely w/o instance ?

One of my gripes with this game has always been the feeling that the world isn't as big as it could be. FFXI was massive!, not just in size but also in the varying regions that you walked through. I don't get the same feeling in FFXIV as I did with FFXI. I do hope this is something they're taking a hard look at.
Let's just say the size of the world doesn't feel Final Fantasy esc.

The Snow "mob" in Coerthas, are sad because there is no snow :/

Pretty darned sure things were already split up with the long hallways connecting smelling like streaming zones... hopefully they can pull of the "landmarks & style" though hopefully those pesky textures aren't loaded globally.

Smoke and mirrors, your not on the same map- There is not actually a huge body of water that connects Limsa to the other dock ( forgot the name) It fizzles off on the horizon then there's the dead of Cartesian space. That is why you load when you get on and then off... Then the cut scenes are there to make it kinda look like nothing happend /waves hand around like a jedi.

Then Again I could be totally misunderstanding you and your just talking about walking on boat before it leaves /shrug.

its not 3 zones with a city
its 3 regions that have a city, and each of those regions having 5 zones + dozens of sub zones


maybe they shoulda put loading screens in between them all so people would be blinded into thinking the world is as big as it really is now and not be fooled by superficial numbers like they seem to be
