    It would have felt less dissapointing if there were more npcs to talk to and more diversity in the streets and actual houses you can enter. The layout there is fun, with all the roofs you can climb, but walking around that place just felt kind of dull. I hope even if they turn a city into a dungeon again, that we can at least explore a more exciting part of it.
    Honestly, SB zones felt boring in general. Anyway, looking at Ala Mhigo's inside from above, it looked so...unfinished. I do hope it's accessible (and actually interesting-looking) in the upcoming patches but I'm not sure what purpose it'll fulfill aside from story and I'm not really counting on it. Same for Doma, but I have hopes that the enclave gets repaired at least?

    It could quite easily be inspired by Midgar if that is the case. I'm looking forward to seeing what a Garlean expansion brings us - though I have no interest in seeing the place invaded. It'd be much more satisfying to have a reason to make peace with Garlemald and work with it for the sake of dealing with a greater threat.

    As far as Ala Mhigo itself is concerned? That it's a dungeon does not bother me - though there should definitely be the ability to enter it in a future patch. Preferably without the 'solo phasing' so that role-players can interact with one another there.

    Given the amount of FF6 references garlean enemy types have given us I wouldn't be surprised if garlemald's capital looked like the empire's capital in FF6.

    Wasn't it just the palace?

    The streets, alleys and avenues before the first boss should be part of the regular city, though given the look and proximity to the palace entrance, it might well be the noble's/merchant quarter.

    Yes, it is. The rest of Ala Mhigo is on the southeastern part of the map. The dungeon is the palace itself. Personnel would also lodge within the palace walls (advisors, guards, physicians, the ruling house close family members, harem, et cetra).

    I have a feeling that garlemald cities will look sort of like midgar in FF7...
    And it's citizens are actually affected by stigma... maybe not

    No, look behind you the next time you enter the dungeon, the entrance is literally the metal gate the alliance broke a hole through, the entire path up to the first boss takes place in the city, then after the first boss you enter the palace.
