    Bad joke aside...

    I still find Eorzea dull and lifeless (except Coerthas and Mor Dhona...for some reason I love those zones). At first, I also taught that the color palette was the culprit here. But in my opinion, it's not. It's the lack of things in the world. I think it's the same thing that most people have been complaining since the beginning: copy/paste terrain and environments and the fact that we see the same monsters all over Eorzea just with different colors and sizes.
    I'm mostly concerned with Ul'dah. Gridania is nice and green but that's because it's a lattice of grids (GRIDania fersher) so they can throw as many trees as they want in without obstructing pathing. Thanalan/Ul'dah is SO BROWN. It has brown, gray, white, and blue-gray as the color palette. Compared to Rabanastre, it looks like it was built out of the corpses of cinderblocks. Also comparing it to Bastok is stupid because "HEY THIS OTHER CITY IN A DIFFERENT GAME WAS ALSO DULL AND LIFELESS IN TERMS OF COLOR" means nothing but they're both dull and lifeless..

    What do I want to see in Ul'dah? More potted plants, maybe an oasis somewhere near it. I live in a desert myself and it's not nearly as muted as Ul'dah is, never has been. Even the clothes on people in Ul'dah is boring...nobody wears a vibrant color, it's all white/grey/brown.

    Compared to, say....traditional Navajo woven blankets.

    If this is the type of coloring more people want then i agree i love to have that ul'dah is really brown and more color would be nice but then again it's a desert and have sand storm and that how it should look like.

    I hoping the map remake would add coloring but not like tera.
