Sad thing is, you can already do this now...so yeah, once they implement the tutorials on using preexisting systems you mean :P

(Since it's obvious people need one in order to start utilizing it >__>)

For the love of god take the grand company headquarters out of a instanced zone. The only reason it was is because it never had a building in the original maps. Make one for 2.0 please I hate having to enter a menue everytime I want to go somewhere in the blasted city.

um, i cant see the "Crappy" part, only pure art skillz.

I don't think it's going to happen sad to say.

They have already stated that due to budget reason the towns would pretty much stay as they are come 2.0 the minor edits to town fall along the lines of the set of stairs they added to limsa to get down to the fishing guild with out having to go around your elbow.

I reallly thought that was concept art......

**Vice** · 07-04-2012 06:52 AM

I don't get it. What's a reasonable, well-thought-out suggestion doing on these forums?

**Bharata_Senka** · 07-04-2012 07:00 AM

I agree with most points being made here:

1) the art is not crappy - it's really quite nice

2) the invisible wall of imagination is a bit annoying - especially when that wall covers so many different instances - that really ruins any immersion the players might look for
3) all of the zoning in a city is a bit annoying

I agree with most everyone else who has posted so far. I'd really like for the Grand Company headquarters, the markets/AH, etc. to have actual physical locations that I can walk to. I don't like how you pass through a loading screen to an area that doesn't really appear to be part of the town at all.

Having these locations integrated into the town architecture would go a long way toward making the city environments seem more real.

Yeah, I wish I could just approach an Elevator and it would open. Once inside, I just have to choose which floor I'd like to go. Only problem I see is If there are 2 or more people, what If they want to go to different floors?

I would like for every single area in the city to be approachable by feet without Instances at all, (Inns, Housing, GC, Market, etc) I kind of like the Idea of being able to check Bazaar through Retainer Linkpearl.

I hope at least the city is gonna look a little different in V2.0, and have more places opened, like Ul'dahs tall building, Limsa's towers, or Grid's buildings like in the concept arts.

EDIT: For Elevator, I have an Idea:
1.Create 3+ Elevators so more people can utilise it fully.
2.Create 3+ Elevators for different floors. I.E. E1 goes to 1st Floor, E2 goes to 2nd Floor, etc.

It's been ages since I played, but isn't there an elevator in the Bastok Metalworks (FFXI) I remember they just go up and down floors, and people would rush to get on them. Wasn't instanced or anything.
