Now, I havent exactly explored all of Vana'Diel yet, but it has come to my attention that this game is lacking what all sweet FF games have: A high tech modern city. I mean, you have Esthar in FF8, Zanarkand in FFX, etc. I think that would be an AMAZING addition to this game. Skyscrapers, big screens, a stadium prehaps, stuff like that. Now I know what most people would say "Thats Jeuno! The center of everything!" But I find Jeuno extremely lacking. Im talking about a big automated city type of thing! Jueno follows the layout of all the other nations: Medieval Style, Random Shops, Airship docks....blah blah blah. I wanna see a place with huge buildings, airships constantly going overhead, lights, luster, streets! I want ZANARKAND!!!!!

Not a tech game
Well, the game really doesn't have much technology in it beyond a psuedo-medievil-with-magic-and-foraged-Zilart-technology flare to it. So, a high tech city really wouldn't fit, I don't think.
Now, that being said, the Zilart had some amazing technology, which is seen in ruins around the world. But nothing they had really resembled cities with sky-scrapers.

Well said
Maior is right. In FF8 there was machines and basicly moderen. FFX only had that in the past when there was "Macina" FFXI is to uhh oldish for a high tech city like that. But maybe in the new MMO SE is makeing ^^
ugh
lol
Yours is still faster then mine probably....
Future Galka
I've actually often thought that a sequel to FFXI would be cool that actually took place in the same world of Vana'Diel and with the same races, but at some point in the future.
E.g., like 100 years after the events of this game. Technology is now more common place but they still have no real space-age tech.
I've also thought that some of the Beastmen would make really interesting new race choices for this future world. It seems to me that the Goblin/Moblins with their ingenuity and softenning towards the Adventurers (if you don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't gotten far enough in the Missions) would be a logical choice for another playable race in the future.
Anyway, I doubt it will happen, given SE's track record for true sequels.

but...
If you were a space galka would you smell ne less?
Isn't bastok the tech mecca of ffxi -> metallurgy, guns, airships, alchemy? They do make dark steal and that other steel mabob, which is the sign of industrial progression making enriched metals... however the greeks would disagree "Olive oil is the gauge of one's knowledge".... Bak maior is a galka traitor ne ways... i'm mearly a smart taru who knows when he has a good thing XD
