SE, Please add the Royal Menagerie for open world access!

I thought we could go back too. Saddened that we can't. I'd love to go back.

Honestly I hope they add a lot of the temporary places like that as visit-able for RP purposes.There's a lot of those caves you get put in before you fight a primal that I like.

Frankly, I'd like to be able to actually access the city of Ala Mhigo, including that garden and the towers behind the castle where Royal Menagerie takes place. I'd love it if they added it as a jumping puzzle. Secret, beautiful visuals are always a nice reward for jumping puzzles and other sorts of navigation puzzles. Sometimes games even make that half the point of the game (Shadow of the Colossus, for example).

Please open this back up! The area is just so well designed. Why the hell would you want to put all that work into it for players to pass through it briefly once? It's a travesty.

Yes please 100x I got some great screens here, but not enough. >:

[HyoMinPark]

Yes please.
It's already in-game. Just let us go back to it!

[fantasticm]

I am going to post in this thread every day until it happens.

[Rakiria]

Couldn't agree more with everyone! It's just so beautiful, and i need moar screens Q.Q

[KDSilver]

I think we'll be able to go back to it later in the game with the MSQ.

I realise that one of the problems with doing this is deciding whether to keep the zone on the permanent 4:30 PM Eorzean time it's got for it's sunset. And if a decision was made to convert that to a dynamic clock, that would mean adding in a rotating sun around the zone, which personally I wouldn't have a problem with. But what are everyone else's thoughts?

That's a tough one. I personally wouldn't mind either outcome, but I've no idea how hard it might be to add a dynamic clock to such a small instance like that. Taking screenshots there at night would be quite nice, but I'd rather just being able to go back there at all first.
