one of my biggest complaints about FFXIV was Eorzea.
I got to level 50 in FFXIV and all I ever encountered was dirt paths and repetitive grasslands.
where are the Xarcabards? the Yuhtunga jungles? Kazham! the sky, the sea! a city which rests on the back of a giant monsters! a city beneath the ocean.
a city with out of place technology & science in a world of fantasy.
if you compare the immersiveness (Is that a word?) and 'magic' of Eorzea's starting cities (Uldah, Gridania, Limsalomimsa) to FFXI's (San d'oria, Windurst, Bastok)... it's a sad joke to say the least.

All of those area's were introduced with expansions after the initial release. Can't judge what FFXI is today or even years ago to what FFXIV had when it was released. You didn't care for the towns in FFXIV compared to FFXI that's your opinion. However mine is different, I'm sure everyone at some point has said I hate going to Windhurst. God knows I couldn't stand it. I enjoyed the cities as they were in FFXIV when it went live. I will agree with you on one point, that yes there was a lot of repetitive area's in the zone and that took away from it some. But all MMO's do that for a reason. No MMO on release will have that much content in a game when it's released.
