Favourite City/Faction and why?

[Woggers]

Limsa.

Because the Admiral is my secret wife.

Till sea swallows all!

Besides, pirates may be violent and rude but at least they're truthful. No lying slimy merchants or tree-hugging xenophobes for me.

Yeah because when I think of honest people who tell the truth the first two people who pop up in my mind are Abraham Lincoln and pirates for sure.

Scenery wise I like Gridania. Otherwise it's Ul'dah. Although I lost all respect for Limsa and Gridania after 2.55.

Chose Limsa in 1.0 and 2.0 main reason I love the ocean.

Limsa is also very open to outsiders you can see it since even the beast tribes are allowed in to sell their merchandise offer their services I'll bet even an Amalja would be welcome so long as they don't start any trouble.

Aesthetically? Limsa. Love the colors, the buildings, and even the design is interesting, but I hate oceans and coastal cities. Realistically, living in that place has got to be hot as hell and the constant smell of rotting fish and seaweed has got to be repulsive. Not to mention the pirate neanderthals one would have to deal with on a daily basis. Reminds me of where I live in RL, lol. Honestly im surprised the Scholars guild is there at all (token caster?).

Anyway... I chose Gridania. Im Elezen so they dont really fit anywhere else IMO. Nice fresh air, wood architecture, everything is near an aether crystal including the Inn (worst part about Limsa to me, and the Aftcastle). It may not be my favorite aesthetically but at least its not Uldah and the immediate leveling areas are much nicer too. Cant have a fantasy setting without a lush vibrant forest :P

I picked Twin Adders cause they had the better color palette, but my favorite city is Limsa.

[ValyrianBlood]

Fav city def Limsa bc I love the sea and the whole tropical 'South Seas feeling' *^*
But considering the pirates I'd probably choose to live in Gridania (also huge nature fan) and have a nice beachhouse in Limsa

Faction will probably always stay Immortal Flames bc I started with my first char and class in Ul'dah so I naturally got attached to it (and the german name translated to Legion of the Undying was also pretty convincing)
I actually thought about Mealstrom but I hate the german synchro of admiral merlwyb
Twin adders also sounded rly nice in german, roughly translated to Brotherhood of the morning/dawn/sunrise viper
I couldn't decide entirely so at the end I choose the faction with the salute I liked the most ö_ö

If I have known back then what gear u can get from the gc hunt seals I would have probably gone Maelstrom tho

Not Ul'dah, cause it's a disgustingly materialistic pile of garbage who's corrupt money-grubbing problems are what drives forward the post 50 story as we scramble to not have the world break because of assholes with big purses wanting bigger purses.

Gridania's a chill magic forest, even if the racist elf cops are racist elves though.

And it survives because the distant and amoral beings who control the forest didn't make the forest eat us all.

But hey, it's a magic forest. At least that's dope.

[Kallera]

No one's perfect, except Gridania. I think she's perfect.

[Lucke]

Ul'dah because I always liked desert-scapes. I lived in the Sonoran Desert for 4ish years so Ul'dah brings me back there. For faction I choose Flamers cause Raubahn. He's the only NPC with the guts to stand up against the corruption.

[myahele]

I like Limsa Lominsa. The scenery is amazing and has the best of both Ul'dah's wide open plains mixed with with Gridania's greenery.

I used to like Gridania, but I got really tired of all the casual racism/bigotry of all the class/job quest giver. Kan E Senna is the only one that hasn't done much of anything in terms of action: Merlwyb atleast tried to help prevent the summoning of Leviathan and killed a few Sahagins, Raubahn was in the front-lines vs Garlean campaigns. Kan E sits by while her wood wailers are helping poachers and raping. If left unchecked Gridania might be next on the monetarists list.

While I don't like the pirate-y speech, Limsa is surprisingly the the most orderly/lawful of the City States
1. ACN guild checks cargo, visas and the other gov't related tasks
2. Welcomes most beast tribes
3. ROG guild seem more like FBI/CIA/Secret police and makes sure the "code" is followed
4. Simple folk with a "don't mess with me or i'll mess with you" mind set

flames, because our leader is not a bish
