Thread: Why 2.0 maps will be instantly opened now?

They need to be careful not to discourage exploration altogether. Whenever I head into a new zone in pretty much any game part of the excitement for me is gradually pressing deeper and deeper into it to see what awaits me.

If they plan to ruin the surprise - especially with the lack of any real unexpected environmental hazards - then it simply makes things feel that much more clinical. At the end of the day it's a Final Fantasy game. It's part of a franchise that has almost always encouraged and rewarded exploration.

Wanting to see what the next cutscene was trekking down XIII's long hallways with maybe one treasure sphere thing here and there was exciting.
Will the next corridor have a curve? will it curve to the left? will it maybe curve left and then right?! Holy shit.

I wouldn't call the great hallway sim a FF game to be honest x_x Or Lightning Returns for that matter.

This change has completely put off the fun from starting a new character for me. Really don't get that. Especially these low level maps have been unlocked almost automatically, just by doing some quests or traveling to different zones. In my opinion, auto unlocking of dungeon maps would make much more sense, because there are hardly random groups that are willing to visit optional rooms that are not required to complete an ini. But the world maps???

I'm wondering what will be busted next? Auto-level up to 50 or unlocking 5 jobs instantly?

I'm very disappointed. Probably going to quit now.
