I love Gridania also and have spent the greatest portion of my time there however i would like to see it change greatly, the aesthetics are good. but the setup, is ugh-full.

My version of Gridania would be a forested hill. Comes and huts up well worn paths with the stables, adventurers guild and trading buildings at the foot.

The Adders nest GC base at the top in "naturally" grown walls (But not thorns, its been done, SE could do better) The Lancer and Archers guild attached. And a earthen spiral stairway into the depths of the hill with nthe Conjurors guild and some neat Tree roots that all grow towards some damn fine super Aether crystal (Over NINE FEET TALL!)

And instead of doing the classic Single giant tree at the center, have 4 very different types of "major" trees that connect to the roots i mentioned before. Spread the shops, homes and NPCs around the hill Lots of birds (that you can see flying around) NPCs walking (and chatting).

And lastly throughout the town some subtle stonework from long ago. To give the visual effect that it was once a stone build town, that nature reclaimed almost completely, and now the Gridanians have come to to claim WITH nature.

Thats my personal Vision of the Gridania i'd like to see.

Wouldn't that make more sense for Ul'dah? What with the Coliseum and all?

I believe they're turning that into an all you can eat Italian buffet.

We had a talk with Yoshida about this, and he let us know that the three city-states won't be completely redesigned from the ground up after the launch of 2.0. However, areas that caused a lot of frustration or weren't very convenient might have some changes made to them.

Ah, but I'm happy about almost everything else regarding 2.0.

That is extremely dissapointing, the cities in the game are bland and boring much like the rest of the world.

While a redesign would be nice... just opening up more areas in the cities would definitely go a long way
They just start to feel so small the longer you play this game

This is a shame. The cities were designed by monkeys it seems... the only somewhat acceptable design is uldah's.

Seriously, take a look at sandoria, windurst, bastok. Windurst had a pretty lousy design so it needed teleport npcs, and here on xiv every city needs those...

I'd also like to see more lively cities. With npcs going on with their lives and stuff.
