Favorite Type of Zone

[Funky]

2.0 already has a snow zone (which is future Coerthas) so I didn't add that one. (It was in the 2.0 map shown at Japan Expo)

no shit sherlock lol, no offense but nyone who have read
the 2.0 pdf files knows about the snow areas.

The thing is.... have you seen how small that area "seems" to be?

Yeah it's tiny as hell compared to the rest....however.... it dosnt take a genius
to figure out that they will prolly expand that later in a possible expansion.

And, from the tiny images shown in there...there also seems to be some kind of
place that reminds me alot of "Lufaise Meadows" from FFXI, wich is really exciting.

Xarcabard was beautiful if you could be there on clear weather, the snow shone!

I liked La Theine Plateau best, down in the gullies where the huge Taraxacum were. I li8ke a zone with little extras like that. But it would be even more impressive if they were interactive, like when you walked past them all the little flowers floated off.

I also liked (and feared) how when you stood on the shore at dunes, you could see sharks in the water lol
And the Summoner's rainbow off Mea when a SMN got their wings...erm Carbuncle lol

Promyvion music....nothing like it, so plain awesome.

definitely agree

These are some of the zones/ areas I would love to see in xiv. The pictures are just examples from previous final fantasies. (A picture is worth a thousand words)

Dark/ haunted. Place for the undead (all kinds) to dwell in, quiet in the morning and crazy at night. With Large castle(s).



Technological areas and future cities (Imperial/ other more advanced regions)



And zones with ruins of other cities.



Sky zones.



Epic monuments. I love HUGE monumental stuff (can't wait for crystal tower) which we hopefully can see from neighboring zones and even far ones (if so huge).





And finally more mystical and mysterious zones. (Mor Dhona is a bit safe... Go WILD!)

What an awesome post!

This is why XIV needs to aim a lot higher. We do not need another genereic field in the game the current ones fill that need perfectly already.

In a nutshell XIV is missing MEMORABLE zones. 2.0 bring it.

Some of those images seem a bit over the top for the kind of approach FFXIV takes. FFXIV would benefit alot from more interesting landmasses and such, but at the same time, it can be tacky if overdone. Restraint is necessary. Fortunately from the concept art, it seems like they realise this already.

Evil Forest from FFIX was something very interesting. The atmosphere was cozy in a way.

I think you mean FFIX

- I would like to see a cave zone that is NOT a giant wormhole like every other cave.

One of my favorite zones in FFXI was the Boyahda Tree. I love the whole zone/eco-system inside a tree thing. It's just neat.
