The Azim Steppe

[Evumeimei]

The Azim Steppe section was my favorite part in the main story. I loved the area, the music, the lore and the characters. Was really sad when I had to leave and go back to Doma.

They made me feel like an outsider except that one Mol girl.

I actually found that they were overall one of the more accepting groups we've met. Ishgard wanted nothing to do with us at first, and we as foreigners only have access to a small part of Hingashi (if that's what it's called) through Kugane because they don't want outsiders in their other cities. The Raen of the Ruby Sea also don't want much to do with us. Domans were so beaten down by Garlean oppression that they were scared of us.

Meanwhile, the Xaela were totally cool with us participating in a tribal tradition that essentially dictates who rules over them. All we had to do was prove ourselves. I wasn't playing an Au Ra character at the time, so I was just really surprised at how chill they were with sharing their culture and traditions with my character. They were also agreeable about us asking them to help in our battle (which I'd felt was wrong of Hien to ask of them considering they had no involvement with the whole situation until that point).
