At first, I thought nothing had changed. I was highly disappointed... but then they left the Adventurer's Guild from the other side and immediately the new changes were showing.

Limsa now has bigger "community" areas for people to gather. Originally, Limsa only had one of these (and the rest were small statue areas that were way off the beaten path). Two if you count the deck right outside the adventurer's guild. In other words, Limsa was a very big mess of streets, bridges, and buildings. Now it actually looks like there's a real town hidden between those tall buildings.

I hope Limsa has more overall content though. Ul'dah became the main hub in 1.0 because of it's open layout and 80% of the game's content required traveling to, from, or through Ul'dah in some way for some reason. Second place was Gridania and dead last was Limsa (basically just Skirmish was there and that was it).

Hopefully this new design will be enough to bring Limsa back to life. Also, doesn't hurt to have beach-view housing either!
