What has been your favorite end game hub?

I was always a fan of Revenant’s Toll not only for the evolution it went through in 2.0 (seriously it was like the Doman reconstruction), because it continues to be pretty populated/active.

Also, My Japanese wife keeps calling the zone “Madonna”.

..I read that as “Great for goose pictures”, lol.

Eulmore and it's swankiness has the #1 spot in my heart followed by Radz-at-han.

Thavnir. I can finally eat my curry and suffer in peace.

This places are "endgame-hubs"? :eek: I do not like them all. :D But Eulmore was the nicest of them. My chilling place is New-Gridania. Someone must protect the Aetherite there!


Cheers

Eulmore. Being my favorite expansion I don’t think any other spot can take over the first place (special mention to Crystarium)

Radz comes reeeeaaally close to 2nd. Even though I still prefer the somber BGM we get when we first visits the city, the endgame song is literally rad! I want to dance forever lol. If I’m in VC together with my friend close to daytime in-game, I’d be like ”shush, hold on guys! 3… 2… 1… -snaps finger- whoooooo~~!!”

Revenant’s Toll is the 3rd. At first I don’t really fancy it but I’ve grown to love it more when I redo the MSQ cia NG+. In my head canon, it’s probably where my WoL would hang around and have a good chitchat & tea with F’ilhammin.

The rest don’t really leave any lasting impression.

I like Mor Dhona and Radz-at-han the best from the zones listed.

They aren't really hubs though. There are literally no hubs when you can teleport everywhere. I tend to only go to any of them to buy my tome or raid gear and then GTFO.

Eulmore I don't like at all. I'll even say that I hate it. It's just Limsa Lominsa in a whore outfit. If I were to tier these areas you've asked about it's be something like

Mor Dhona >= Radz-at-han > Rhalgr's Reach > Idyllshire = Eulmore. Sorry Idyllshire. You look fantastic and had some mild growth over patches like Mor Dhona, but your bagpipe music or whatever can die in a fire.

Mor Dhona, obviously.
Back in the days after the whole server had finished Odin or Behemoth’s Fates, ppl will shout “ Good work,ppl. To Mor Dhona !” or something.
The atmospheres were awesome.

Idyllshire, it's the first I saw being renovated and remembering how the main building lacked a roof back then makes me feel nostalgic.
There is the Orphanage, Zhloe&Khloe that are the sweetest NPC I can think of and used to have the hidden story about that fate of a couple devoured by beasts and a Miqo'te child crying about her missing parents every nights.

That place grabbed my feelings pretty hard.
Oh and it connects with Alexander.

I never experienced Mor Dhona reconstruction, I can't quite connect with it and I don't like the music/rocky aesthetic.
Rhalgr's reach was kind of lackluster especially when most of the expac was about Doma and important cutscenes would take place in Ala Mhigo's palace. If it was rebuilt into something better, I could've liked it.
Ewmore is not my favorite due to this place background. Sure they had the Chai couple, a lovely one with amazing writing, but still not enough to have a place in my heart.
Radz-at-han is great, it's not quite there to take the first spot but it actually feels like a place filled with life and the colors aren't horrible to look at. Thavnair had an amazing writing, so I like this place.

It's a tight one between Radz-at-Han and Eulmore.
They're both stunningly beautiful.
But functionally, Eulmore is better because everything is close-by and in a circle, so it's easier to move around. It's also a nice place to meet friends and all. It feel very cozy and warm.
Radz-at-Han is a grogeous big town and i wish it was used more all around, I wish I could live there too, but endgame hub-wise, it's too big and the vendors are in two narrow cramped streets, it doesn't feel practical or cozy.

All the rest I find pretty bleh, especially aesthetically. I hated Mor Dhona even back in ARR. Never really hanged around there, just there to exchange stuff and then back to some town (since there was no housing yet).
