How Big Is The Game World?

[Pintsized]

Though players have tried to claim all kinds of different things as being due to PS3 limitations, one of the few things that SE themselves acknowledged as being due to the limitations of the PS3 platform is that they had to keep zones fairly small (and therefore more subdivided than they would have liked).

While V1 was trashed by many for using 'cut and paste' too much there were only three 'zones' basically, one per city-state, you could run from Gridania to Limsa Lominsa via Ul'dah and only see two 'zone load' screens for the open world and one for the real ferry zone.

Maybe V2's graphics are superior, though the horrible anti-aliasing which causes grass to 'flicker' says otherwise, but I've always missed V1's feeling of a big world.
