You really don't realize how badly these revamped maps need to happen. Both looks and technical reasons.

Copy/Pasted terrain is so obvious and is a complete insult to the Final Fantasy name, which always promises quality. Simply copy and pasting areas without using methods of illusion to make each area feel different was extremely lazy and thoughtless on their end.

Also, there is a lot of terrain issues that need to be adjusted. The polygon count is so high, and people's graphics cards are taking a serious heating issue because a lot of useless terrain people can't even get to (Example: The depth of the water, you can't even get in the water, why make it go to the bottom?). You definitely notice this if you walk into a new area (Like GC area). My graphics card is usually 89-95% degrees when I am in the game. I was in a new area and temperatures went down to 78 degrees.

Change needs to happen.
