No World Map - Yay or Nay?

I actually like not having the big huge world map where you're a huge giant looking upon little cities which happen to enlarge when you walk near them, or maybe you just shrink...anyways...I thought it was nice to have the airship way of no travel.

Looking for secrets...sure, finding little dots on your map wasn't a very good replacement, but I'm way fine without searching for random crap. Reason so, is because of the amount of travel you already do in the locations set. From dungeons, forests, deserts, all that junk, I felt it made up for it.

I too preffered the world map rather than choosing from a list of sites.
The world map is an essential element of rpgs. Tonnes of RPG's have world maps! Taking away the world map is like taking away the rpgness
and i liked maps as it was much easier to find a place to train your characters at.

I voted 'Sucked without' though that is not what I really thought, sure they did a good job of replacing it, but I really like to spend alot of time just exploring and finding secret places on the map, little hard on FFX, the absence of the world map made the game seem alot smaller.

I would've voted 'It wasn't bad' if the option was avaliable :P

Nay i like world map :P
it wuz a lot less confuzing.

No offense, but how was it confusing, you walk in a straight line, whereas a world map can cause you to get lost!

I missed the ability to fly and towering over towns. I would have been much happier flying into Sin, circling it, taunting it, like with the weapons off VII, instead of just selecting it off a list...

I prefer having a world map to explore. I would've liked to have stumbled across the Omega Ruins myself, rather than searching for a coordinate on a grid. Perhaps they could've combined the two to create something similar to WA3's Seach Sphere.

I agree with Endless Twilight. A world map is much better for hidden/secret areas than the system FFX used.

What Endless Twilight said is true, yeah. But I really don't care about secrets and stuff in games, unless it's like Drakengard but you know whatever.

So I liked the absence of the world map here. It worked for this game, and for X-2 obviously, and I wouldn't mind seeing something similar again.

I prefer world maps simply because it was hard to go back somewhere before you found the airship, and then once the airship was found it was possible to go places way to advanced in the game (I think).

I would've liked a World Map

i think it was more realistic without a world map, cause althoguh the places wouldn't lead right into each other cause they're so spread out on the map, it was a lot more realistic than you shrinking, the cities growing


but i also like the world map so i'm easy

I didn't miss it.

since i played that MMO, i often ran in the wrong directions. i liked how it was in Final Fantasy VII - Final Fantasy IX, both with the little square/global displays when you're out in the field.

I don't mond both. In FFX though, they could of made it that you saw the airship fly to the place you selected. I like that fact the it take ages to walk anywhere in the world, it gives it that realistic feel and being a part of the story in almost every area of the world, instead of seeing the main character twice the size of cities and places being so far apart from the next place.

i dont think that it sucked without the map but i would prefer it to have one, but with the new graphics it makes it hard to actually create a world map.
