It seems like there are a lot of areas that are unfinished or just never meant to be open in the cities.

In LL the only road that seems to have any traffic on it is the one between the aerythe and the MW/GC instance.

I hope in the future patches SE provides us more reasons to travel to the other places in the city as well and maybe build these places in the actual city by using the un-used areas like the higher level of LL.

I hope I'm not alone in this but I really hate it in games when the visuals show a lot of the areas the player never has access to.

This is also very true in Ul'dah.

I liked the feeling they created in XI where you eventually really got to know the massive cities because all the necessary places where scattered throughout the area and not just in one instance.


Also it makes a huge difference if these areas are in the city or just warp-portals to a loading screen between areas.
If they just scattered instances throughout the city it would probably feel just like useless running around.

For example it would be nice to see actual chocobo stables now that we have them instead of just one guy standing around with a chocobo.
