    Dunno why some have major issues when Emet-Selch himself said we would be surprised by the civilizations in the other reflections and Alexandria is from the 9th Reflection too.

I'm just wondering how it took you until Dawntrail to figure it out.

    You must have skipped the dialog from MSQ when it was plainly told that it took four centuries for Alexandria to reach the state it is in from the days of the Storm Surge meaning their scientist have been studying for centuries to get to where they are today and for the dimensional fusion to occur. But you don't have a problem with the three centuries it took for Garlond Ironworks and G'raha Tia to teleport the Crystal Tower to the 1st and you with the Scions way back in ShB.

    We would if it came out looking like the Burj Khalifa and had a couple of ferraris parked outside instead of just looking like a fantasy crystal tower. And Graha came out draped in Gucci and Balenciaga clothes.

    Imagine if graha was standing outside like this waiting for you.

    Irrelevant when the circumstances were far different for each setting, G'raha had the existential threat of the Sin Eaters in a world with it's less advanced society than Eorzea for a century after arriving in the 1st that prevented expansion and technological advancement on a large scale. Alexandria on the other hand was living peacefully for centuries after their barrier was erected and allowed Everkeep to be built without an existential threat like the 1st had. The world before the Storm Surge was also advancing that led to the technological arms race for Electrope. It's why Alexandrians are pampered as a society, it was plain with their centuries long peace before the war Zoraal Ja created disturbed that. Alexandria being peaceful over the course of over four centuries prior to arriving to the Source would develop a society that places high emphasis on fashion, entertainment (The Arcadion) and more like irl western modern societies are. The Burj Khalifa looks more like the Crystal Tower than Everkeep and Sphene also didn't come out dressed like that too, so I dunno why you even brought this up???

    Idk why you wrote this giant paragraph. It has nothing to do with the circumstances and everything to do with the style of presentation. Modern real world and cyberpunk 2077 styles don’t fit the game.
