Thread: Why 2.0 maps will be instantly opened now?

Honestly, I think they're just starting to do things to streamline the MSQ with an eye toward the 4.0 expansion. *shrugs*

I think some people are really overreacting to what is ultimately a very small change.

It's not really a small change, though. At least not when it's combined with the way in which Diadem was introduced. The game needs more exploration, not less. As much as I loathe to compare the game to other MMO's GW2, Wildstar and WoW all have neat things hidden throughout every zone including environmental hazards, rare enemies, treasure chests and special achievements. I would very much like to see FFXIV take a leaf out of that particular book because whilst many of the zones are very impressive visually once the quests located there have been completed they feel very empty.
