Favorite Type of Zone

[Destinova]

This thread is about what would be one of your favorite type zones you would like to see be added to ffxiv.

My all time favorite zone out of all the games I have played is xcabard from ffxi. I love the snow, the music and the mystery that was xcabard from when I first arrived.

What type of zone you you like to see in ffxiv? And why!

I prefer ethereal and mystifying areas; zones that look out of this world. I'm hoping the Crystal Tower sates my thirst for one.

I'd like to see sand dunes. the thanalan desert is my favorite place, so far. But I'd like a sea of sand type area too. Though really, the more diverse we can get the better. Jungles, forests, mountains, deserts, beaches, caves, ruins, floating continents (this is final fantasy, after all.)

Some kind of underwater temple

what babydoll said.

and Crystal caverns, with crystals thats actually
reflects light or anything in its surroundings.

No reason not to go all out on SE's state of the art graphics quality.

a forest like "sanctuary of zi'tah" from FFXI, or atleast the
same type of mystical / erie music to go with it.

Snow / arctical areas, and when i say snow i mean so
much snow you would be up to your knees in it,
insane snowstorms & slippery...yes slippery ice patches on ground.

And dont forget making the sounds of falling snow, wind, ice-crackling
properly to make the game so much more engulfing.

Just adding such a small element such as slippery ice patches
will bring a whole new difficulty to the game.

Or...if you stand too long on an ice-patch you will be frozen solid lol
(hinting some new Raid difficulty elements for you guys on the dev team)

Just Do It !

i really liked the world 1-1 in Demon's Souls.
It was a very dark, gothic inspired castle, and was completely foreboding because you walked up to it, it seemed to get huuuuuuge.

After playing all kinds of different mmos over they years I'm convinced that every kind of zone can be awesome if done properly. With that said my favorite zones are always the ones out of the ordinary. Such as:

Alien like forests with lots and lots of color.
Ancient ruins, the ruins have to climable.
Creepy swamps with a halloween theme.
Huge buildings with a since of scale.
Extremely rocky deserts.

All of these zones have to be flooded with stuff. The forest zones needs to be thick with trees, ruins need to litter the ground, swamps need to be full of all sorts of nasty things, etc... I don't like big open zones without things in them. And they need to be thought of as a piece of the land instead of made for a video game.

The one zone I hate are lava zones.

My favorite type would have to be a dark/corrupted zone, very gloomy with strong monsters... Such as Caedarva Mire!
