It has some interesting details.

Seems main city will be one zone and not split off... Glad PS3 is gone.

Thank god for this....it really ruins limsa lominsa and ul'dah

I remember when upper and lower limsa was one zone in 1.0 it was so much nicer then what it is now.

I hope they do the same for the other four city-states. It was always jarring to be on Limsa's Upper Decks with tons of other players, but then look down to see the Lower Decks barren.

In that case, SE please go back and merge the maps for our existing cities...Oh, and adding flight to ARR zones would be nice too.

Big costly PvP content, and change to all aspects of PvP - no idea what that means but personally would love to see 1v1v1 fights turned into 1v1 to lead to better queue times, even harder to coordinate*, and to reduce accidental coordination that are not fun*.

I don't know about that, to my knowledge PvP is hardly the most popular content int the game and many players only do it to gain access to the 'stuff' not because they enjoy it. Personally I feel this is an aspect of the game that needs to be greatly de-emphasized.

In my opinion, The PVP in this game is some of the worst I've ever seen. It seems the developers agree with that to some extent if they're going change all aspects of PvP.

I don't disagree. I've never enjoyed PvP in any game I've played. I like FFXIV for its emphasis on cooperation and PvE. I don't mind PvP being here for those who enjoy it, but stuff like the Garo event did not sit well with me. Please, SE, do not try and, 'Tempt,' me into PvP. I don't want to do it, PvP'ers will be happier if I'm not.

Personally I don't think the ARR zones should ever be flight capable. When you are new to this game you need to be able to take in the sights and sounds of ARR from the ground. Not to mention those zones are so small.

It needs some work sure, and I really feel the three (1 v 1 v 1) really throws stuff off balance and adds negative dynamic to the battle field - making PvP not related to GC and fixed around Freelancing would help a lot (lost and won so many matches not due to people's skills but because one of the GC groups decided to mess up the other one).

I like PvP in general, did A LOT in WoW, but it'll be nice if it was tightened up here. Besides removing the random factor of 3 teams at once they should probably make the roulette more complete, like they did to the Feast, and then add a master PvP roulette so it's as snappy as can be (it searches for any and all non-ranked PvP).

Personally I don't think the ARR zones should ever be flight capable. When you are new to this game you need to be able to take in the sights and sounds of ARR from the ground. Not to mention those zones are so small.

Well so long as they keep the point that you unlock flying where it is, I don't think adding flight to old zones would really change that ground up experience. Certain zones appear to be flight ready already, but a few I guess would take a bit of resources to fix up first.. I'd like to see it in all areas just because I feel it's silly not to but it's not high priority certainly. If they add flight to old areas they could add some new areas and zones around the old ones for new content as well, that could be advantageous (efficient use of old resources).
