The Mist used to be the best

[Mikki]

Well I can do the same to anything in the game I can stand on, so the answer is no you still can't properly lounge in those chairs. I'd say that means Mist still needs a little bit more work.

Shirogane and Lavender Beds also have these beach chairs and you can't properly sit in them, it isn't just a mist thing. (Goblet might too, I havent checked)

Anyway, that being said I personally think Lavender Beds is the prettiest area and I'm happy that my FC house is right next to the new swimming area. n__n But I think that Shirogane has the best layout. It's extremely easy to understand and navigate and all NPC shops are in one area. I dont know why the other areas arent that straight forward, honestly. Goblet really NEEDED that upgrade. It was the most often snubbed housing area. Hopefully this'll boom its popularity a bit more.
