I just took a look of the map of the new area (Ruin Field?) and I am so frigging disappointed. In 3rd Gen, the areas were numbered in pretty much a linear order. Area 1 was connected to Area 2, which was connected to 3 and 4, etc, etc.

But this new map is more like the scatterbrained maps of MHFU. Area 5 is literally on the other side of the map than Area 4, and they randomly stuck Area 10 near Area 6. WTF?

The numbers are all over the place. I really wish that they had put more thought into numbering the areas...
