It doesn't rain in Eastern Thanalan

This is totally what people wanted when they said they wanted to explore the open world.

I'm utterly shocked that they either intended this to be a waiting game (Like many things the game seems to enjoy doing such as making us wait for FATES), or just lack the foresight to understand that making the system weather dependant. Sometimes I just don't understand where such a neat idea giving people a half decent reason to look around the world and had a good chance to jam some lore in there as well.

Then suddenly someone must have piped up and said that it needed to be dependant on something silly like weather...seriously.

I expected, no I hoped that sightseeing would be like Äther runs in 1.x
Maybe with nice Echo cutscenes...

I was too naive!
