Realistic yes, but living? The world couldn't be any more static and stiff as it is right now. It is incredibly sterile as well. The lackluster shading doesn't help either. The towns nor the field areas aren't alive. There is nothing going on anywhere except some cutscenes.

You occasionally see an airship flying, and that's it.
