I can't fully remember, think its a no but will be modified to accommodate/eradicate certain parts.

They should redesigned them... they won't fit in well with the new world and there is a lot of copy/paste in cities too so they suffer from the same issues as the world maps. Same issue should = same fix.

Do you really have a problem with copy/paste going on in cities?

Isn't that what people do?
I thought the main problem was believing that natural terrain would be copied exactly every few feet....

But a city... a man made city is going to be copy pasted... thats actually one of the key elements of a city...

Uh...I'm guessing probably the same texture used somewhere more than once..............the cities were one of the things that didn't repeat itself over and over for 700 yalms.

I don't really think they are bad.. I was just saying if anyone does think they are copy pasted... is that such a bad thing?

That's a good point, though I do find it a little cheesy that some of the islands in Limsa are copy-pasted.

More than anything, I hope they can make the inside of Ul'dah look as cool as the outside. Looking at it from Thanalan, Ul'dah is amazing. Once you get inside, however, it's mostly a few hallways. I'd like to be able to go inside of structures more, and to be able to explore all of that crazy architecture on the upper levels.

I would love to be able to fully explore this:




Or better yet, this:

True... more important than the copy/paste is that the cities are a HUGE teaser of places we can't go

Man you look at the concept art, then you look at the result, and its like. What happened? So much missing, so much of the design ruined =( The 3d Result is awful compared to the concept.

Could it be the angle of the screen shot is different? also the tallest parts seem to be further back then what they would be from the concept art... which makes them seem smaller and less grand
