Two words: LARGE. ZONES.
Two more words: BIG. SCALE.
Ishgard is an enormous city, and the sense of scale with the new zones is fantastic. The only gripe I had about being immersed in FFXIV is that the world felt a little small and compact, especially compared to the lore that came with it. (Ul'Dah having an enormous 'refugeetown' outside of the city walls being shown in-game as two tents, for example)
But now it fits my imagination. Now it feels like a world! I looooove it. Hopefully now there will be a true sense of exploration and adventure!
