Open up the world, please! Part I

[Daralii]

If they made the world fully open then it would feel like a completely new experience.

EDIT: I don't mean they should make the "tunnels" on the map walk-able, I mean that they should think about how everything fits into place together. Put the puzzle together, work with the lore and figure out how people transcend flights of steps, how people walk the Limsa bridge etc.

Similarly like WoW map transitions.

It was like that in 1.0, and the result was corridors(canyons, caves, etc) that took 10-30 seconds to walk through because it was loading the next zone. The game's server infrastructure is a bunch of cardboard boxes held together with bubblegum and tape, it couldn't handle loading zones(hidden or otherwise) being removed completely.

I'm not talking of corridors, corridors don't put the puzzle together. The creative team behind FFXIV need to put their thinking caps on to work out how things actually fit together. Corridors do not fit things together.

In one of the map views, you actually can see how the maps fit together, though.

That said, I want to be able to cross the bridges in Limsa again. Or travel under the canopies in Gridania again. Ul'dah should not be seamlessly connected to the map, though.
