I am completely for this going forward. While I wouldn't mind the cities going back to being seamless, I am fine with 2.0 and 3.0 areas staying as they are just so it wouldn't take forever. Not to mention be less appealing to the devs.

Please, consider making zones seamless as we move forward. There is a LOT to be said about the immersion of seamless zones flowing into one another. It is a poor excuse to say there would be but large stretches of nothing as there should be content to fill the world. Other games nailed this years ago and there is no reason FFXIV couldn't. Even if that were the case, the freedom is its own reward.

I cannot overstate how much I want seamless zones to return to FFXIV, but much better this time. That means no copy/paste and many chances for encouraged exploration with swimming and so forth. This is near the top of my wish list and while I don't expect it soon, Kugane gives me hope.
