I definitely agree with point No. 3. Garlemald in particular is a big disappointment to me when this big empire that's been the bane of Eorzea in the few expansions it was a threat for turned out to become a small, ruined city. Nothing grandeur other then the tower poking up right in the middle of it. I was hoping for more then just a filler zone, like it would be cool to explore a little more then what's already right in front of your eyes.
