If the cities were single maps AND all of the shops and such were relatively close together OR we could use mounts in Ul'dah and the rest, I'd be fine with it. As it stands, going from the main Atheryte to, say, the Alchemist guild is a trek... Arcanist guild to Black/Armorsmith? Really long trek. Even with my BRD and Swiftsong, getting around these towns is a major headache on foot, they're just not designed well for it.
