Not, like, a major city... but just more than a huddle of tents and boardwalks on a beach. I get that there's this sort of elegance to the arrangement at Costa in this game, but it also feels very... temporary to me. Sort of nomadic. And I don't know if it really does all that great a job conveying a tourist destination. Like... where do the guests sleep? Where do the townsfolk sleep? Where do they store food, etc? Why aren't there any restaurants (yes, there appear to be a handful of tiny bars, but I don't think it's the same thing)?

This is, clearly, a back-burner type issue, and even I don't believe it's anything major. But when I visited Costa del Sol back in FFVII, I was always enchanted by the just general beachy, lived-in feel of the place - it felt authentic; like the kind of coastal town that any of us might visit the world-over. Eorzea's version... doesn't. It feels like one (small) step above camping on the shore. And I'd like to see more than that.
