I was just thinking about making this kind of thread, haha.

But I agree, the more "condensed" 2.0 maps are much nicer. The originally storyline felt so varied how you're going all across Eorzea in so many zones. Running through the story on the alt, I realized the new areas are just too empty for me. It fits the theme, but when it's over, there's really no need to stay in any of the new zones.
