Thread: No World Map - Yay or Nay?

    I like world maps, but I also like FFX without it. It just made a world map seem kinda pointless to me. You're still going from point A to point B anyway, until you get a ship or an airship. Spira seemed larger to me because we didn't really get to explore every square inch, leaving a sense of mystery. At least thats what I think.

    Having just played FFX again for the first time in a while, I'd like to add something to my previous statement. Selecting locations from a list isn't such a bad idea. I always use the Ragnarok's auto-pilot in FFVIII, and using the list is not dissimilar. An ideal design, in my view, would be to have a world map to explore on foot/by air, and have locations previously visited on a list for easy access. I think it should show the airship travelling across the world map, and not simply acting as a hub for Traveller Sphere teleportation.

    The game didnt suck without it, but It would of been better off with it, the world map was an ongoing addition, kinda like Cid. Im pretty sure it didnt have it because FFX was on the PS2, various little reason in that big reason IMO.

    The absence of a world map didn't bother me. It goes along with the idea that you are on a pilgramage.

    The whole you are evil thing just got old.

    Though it does stray away from tradition by getting rid of the world map, the way the game is played, it wouldn't need it. Or maybe that's just a result of not having one...Meh. "I don't know."

    having no world map had no excitment to it like searching for things like on ff7 like getting knights of the round table and it made it more exciting never really knowing what u r going to fight and where and stuff so they should have had a world map i say

    "Better with" would have been a better option than "sucked without". The existance of a world map isn't what makes or ruins a game.

    most of the people are complaining about how the size changed but would you really like to have to walk for like twenty minutes to get to zanarkand from calm lands

    or if you make size real and all that sin wouldve crushed you and you would never be able to get in cuz no matter how strong someone is not even chuck norris would be able to curt open sin or evrae you would be crushed or eaten and that would be that so hex yea the map is cool thats why you mainly walk or run at a slow pace because they dont really get big that way its just easier to see them

    Vote: better without world map

    but only just. i like the idea of being able to find things manually yourself but thats outweighed by the good stuff, like not feeling "spira is really small!?"

    I voted I don't know.
    I love the World Maps, but it just wouldn't fit with FFX.
