I was thinking the same thing, even as far back as FFXI lol. "Why does a bright, tropical beach (Valkurm) give way to a windy highland (Konschtat) with no sense of natural transition?", "Why does an arid canyon region (Meriphataud), give way directly to a lush, atmospheric woodland (Zi'tah) with no sense of transition? You don't even see any trees in the distance when approaching it".

I was kinda surprised, and disappointed, to see the same thing happening in XIV. Maybe they'll take that into account with the redesign and make the areas "blend" a bit better across zone lines.
