Bringing back areas like Revenants Toll and Idyllshire

[bass9020]

Just my personal opinion but I think its time to get an area in 7.0 that is similar to how Revenants Toll and Idyllshire grew with the patches of 2.0 and 3.0. Would anyone else like to see some better world building for endgame hubs again? Honestly as interesting as building the Doman Enclave and the Firmamant was they just didnt have the same spirit or charm.

Whats everyone's thoughts or ideas?

I don't mind as long as there is an airship path near by. My biggest issue is places like Gyr Abania that have no airship landing and main quests require you to go there and you have to jump through hoops to travel there on foot. All this for a quest to talk to one person go around the world and come right back just to leave to come right back.

Thankfully Kugane with Endwalker got an Airship Landing that lets you connect with the rest of the game.

Why not...just...teleport?

I'm surprised people use airship landings past story requirements.

It was fun while it was happening for the players that were there, sure. But it has a bit of a disconnect if you're going through the story later. Bringing in the Domans to help build Revenant's Toll is dissonant when the entire town is already a massive fortress when you get there the first time. Encountering the "backwater" of Idyllshire in the Heavensward story with just a few goblins there is similarly strange when you get there now and see a whole city.

I think the developers recognized this when Stormblood came out and opted to just give fully developed end game hubs right from the start. Not only is it less jarring for the player, but it's an easy piece of development to cut. There's little benefit to making a new setup for the end game zone that will be deleted completely a few months later never to be seen again. Design and build it once, and then those resources can be used for other purposes.

I just want a hub where I can mount up instead of using the mini aetherytes.

Take everything this dude says with a pocketful of salt.

The amount of gil you save by using airships/aetheryte tickets would blow your mind tbh.

I love places that evolve through patches too, even more if they add twist and interesting feature through said evolution.

Half the cost to airship. And that really does add up.
