Revamp ARR Eorzea

[RyuSaarva]

no thanks, the ARR areas are still the best in the game, expansion areas are big but they lack detail and feel empty.

I think the existing ARR zones could be preserved but updated to allow flying. That would obviously necessitate the parts of those areas we cant see from the ground to get some updating and it could allow for areas only reachable by flying to be added to older zones for higher level content. It's nice when older zones have relevance at higher levels. Doing it this way keeps everything that currently exists for low levels and the zone layouts for those quests completely intact. It's only the surrounding and currently un-viewable parts of the zones that would need updating to make this work.

To update them to allow flying would be to redesign them, they have said these zones were built without flying in mind and if you go OoB you would very easily see why they would have to redesign the whole zone.

A request to redesign these zones will probably never happen, you are better off asking for a higher quality texture add-on or something similar, asking for a calamity would put a lot of work on the devs since there would have to do 2 instances Pre and Post Calamity and if the only thing was higher textures and flying added, whatever expansion it would be added to would feel like wasted development to some players because it would feel unnecessary.

Just stay in the First. Job done, SE doesn't have to spend anymore money or time redoing ARR areas.

Honestly I like the ARR areas better. There's a lot more detail in them and there's a lot more to look at. The settlements are also a lot better than what we've got in all of the expansions because they felt lively. The expansion areas although kinda pretty, are barren and don't have much going on, you can't even enter most buildings! So I disagree with this.
