FC venues alrdy use the common areas in game examples are the beach in the mist, Costa la sol beach and ship as well as a few other spots. The common areas would still be limited to the player rendering limit the game as already been using. So opening up ine large common area will result in alot of players popping in and out of rendering since it's all one huge common areas. That sounds terrible. It alrdy is a small issue at bug venues.

Second how would you advertise it? Community mist instance number 4 of for the large plot 12? I'm just making up numbers but you are now layering more instances on top of eachother making advertising venues or getting directions worse. At least now it's a physical location not a location with 10 or more instances you have to choose from like appartments. Currently you can say this plot on this ward is me. Not this plot instance 4 is me.

Instances takes away from the unique living areas and aspect of the residential districts. We don't need more instanced areas in the game. I'm curious how this whole situation would have gone if SE's lottery didn't have a bug in it? Would we still be discussing these topics or would it be a smaller group complaining they didn't win instead of a bug?

Everyone can't be happy but living areas like on BDO felt so off veung instances on top of eachother. At least in FF it's more of a physical location.

To summarize funneling all the plots and wards into one zone instanced on top of eachother sounds like a cluster and a mess. As of now things are more spread apart and easier to navigate. Imagine the chaos of pages after pages of people's areas instanced on eachother and trying to visit a place.
