So how about that weather?

But, you have a map and you can rotate your camera and zoom in/out my friend :3!

Coerthas had its weather messed up by the Calamity, so it's gonna be snowing 95% of the time.

Some people play for the realism or for the immersion. Others play for grinding gear and gil making. Some people read cutscenes, others skip them all. Not everyone plays the game for the same reason, and I'll be honest. The story is not exactly what draws me to the game.

Its not about looking at the map for where people are, its about seeing the world around me.

This is kinda like asking why we dont have a setting that adds snow in gridania.

These zones simple have certain weather types either due to lore or due to them beeing in a certain location on the ARR planet.

Not asking to create weather in towns, just eliminate it. This could also prove useful to people playing on lower end systems and even ps3 users as I'm willing to bet clears skies cause the least amount of system lag.
