Why not improve the 3 initial city-states?

[BlisteringFrost]

as long as the improvements include doing something about the weirdo with 5 million naked roegadyn bots posted at the Limsa Aetheryte 24/7.

Curious way to try to derail the thread. But I won't put much thought into it.

Having an NPC who serves as a In-Between man for the other 2 city states in every city state would be nice as a means of letting me drop gear off for seals in any city. Since every time I server bounce I default to Ul'dah but I'm with the Maelstrom right now.

Square CBU3 is small indie dev, you expect too much of the poor team,
maybe we could suggest it as a cash shop item then it becomes possible prolly.

Tbh I feel like they can do it it might be in pipe line already because they can't keep ignoring the new player exp
if peps have to play the story the opening game content has to be good. xD

Features I'd love to see in the occasion of revapmed cities:

1) Coliseum in Ul'dah with actual fights that you can participate. Something like Bozja's duels, hard fights where you get selected and people can spectate (might improve a bit on that annoying lottery system, though);

2) Aetherytes moved closed to the Market Board areas for Ul'dah and Gridania;

3) Gridania's Amphitheater with timed events where you can see/listen to NPCs performing;

4) More 'non-functional' public buildings that you can enter, especially in Ul'dah;

5) While you're at that - give Martyn the actual BLU guild, not just people hanging by the door. I want to see inside!

6) Make the Airship landings more memorable, with anchored (inactive) airships that you can explore. Same for the docks in Limsa Lominsa.

7) Add in jumping puzzles. Imagine doing that over Ul'dah's rooftops, Limsa's spires or Gridania's towering trees, until you reach the canopy for a nice view.

all of these are great.

Se be like:
Instructions unclear, added multiple 20$ sets to the cash shop instead.

Tbh tho, do you remember the bit where they said they would, after the graphics update, do some overhauling to older maps? The one where they showed off some things like bits of Wolves Den Pier?
Yeah... into the memory hole that goes.

Love all these ideas. I'd love to see a performance stage where people are welcome to play music. Preferably near the aetheryte since that's where they flock.

They could always move the main Aetheryte + Market Board closer to the main amphitheater there.

Split zones aside, my biggest issue is the fact that Ul’dah, the so-called “Jewel of the Desert”, is so… brown. There is so much Arabesque/Moroccan architecture and COLOR they could have pulled from but nah, let’s just make this fantasy desert city entirely brown.
