Hello! There have been a few comments related to checking time within Dynamis, as well as difficulties arising when trying to meet up with your fellow party members due to a lack of maps.
We are currently examining ways to display the remaining time in Dynamis. Due to the fact that the remaining time is managed server side and packets are not continuously sent client side, it’s not currently possible to check your remaining time. In order to check this it would be necessary to interact with the server by performing some action similar to the healing method in Abyssea. Taking into consideration the content of Dynamis itself (constant battles, longer battles, etc.), we felt that it would be difficult to use a feature that required player action to display the time. Due to this we are heading towards creating a way to automatically announce your time remaining.
As for maps, we are also looking into the possibility of displaying maps while in Dynamis. Currently, no maps exist for these areas, we would like to create them. [source]

We may be seeing maps for Dynamis in an upcoming update, what are your thoughts on this? Do you believe some of the difficulty of Dynamis (as you could say) lies in knowing your surroundings and coordinating/organizing your group without a map? Or do you think it has been long enough that there should be no need to hide it any longer? Discuss!
