    I can't stand Azys Lla, or Allagan designs in general. Somehow Syrcus Tower escaped it but everything else is so clashing and awful.

    Playing FF3 recently (or at least the DS version), the original Labyrinth of the Ancients doesn't have any of the technicolor Allagan bits, just the brown stone and lava. It definitely needed some kind of prettying up, but the green and purple are terrible.

    I enjoyed the Allagan aesthetic...at least for the gear, furniture and Robot nodes. But I was ribbing on Azys specifically because it felt more like a floating wasteland or a post apocalyptic version of the Sea of Clouds, and both descriptions are not the epitome of beauty to put it mildly.

    I love some Allagan designs. The Twinning = <3 for one, albeit that's modified Allagan stuff, and Syrcus Tower in general. Or the Ocular in the Crystal Tower, which I frankly want to rip the flooring up from and take back to my house. (I'm sure the Exarch won't mind, right?)

    I love pretty much all of the music that uses the Allagan leitmotifs. Syrcus Tower, the Twinning (BEST MUSIC), Fractal Continuum... even Azys Lla.

    But you aren't wrong that some of it is just aesthetically... yikes. Labyrinth of the Ancients being a big one.

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.
