Thread: Maps redesing for 2.0... cities too?!

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.

Don't insult the dev team and she said they would see some adjustments. As i recalled you monkeys wanted maps redone not cities >_>.

It makes me wonder how much of a redesign the rest of the game is getting then. If the remake of the maps is so drastic then the city wont fit it.

Great news from my perspective - I really like the current cities. I'm not a huge fan of Ul'dah, but I definitely wouldn't want Limsa or Gridania to change in a major way.

What are you talking about? Everyone wanted city redesigns too. We've all complained they look stale and lifeless. The structures look new and pristine... in a city like uldah? Come on.

Gridania makes no sense. Its so inconvenient to get around it...

the cities focus all the important things in this one sector and the rest of the city is its own little ghost town.

not to mention how it all seems lifeless, the buildings have no interiors, npcs are just a few and they dont even walk...

You can add life to the cities with a complete redesign

I'm pretty sure that 1k+ post thread was about maps. What was it called 1-50 or some crap, nothing about the cities.
