Idyllshire is my favorite but i couldnt really say why. Solution 9 is abject garbage from aesthetics to music.

Im gonna have to say Rhalgr's reach is my favorite. Hunt board right next to all the tome/raid vendors, materia melder and mender right there too, could ride your mount around the area, optional jump puzzle
Aesthetically I like solution 9 a lot, but it really needs to let you use mounts. Maybe force dismount in the building areas (similar to how you force dismount when you go down into the ragnarok hangar in labyrinthos
As much as I absolutely hate Dawntrailer, Solution 9 is easily my favorite. That isn't to say it doesn't have some pretty massive issues. It desperately needs an AH board. But the style and music are peak.
very surprised at solution 9 picks!!
I'll always have a soft spot for Ishgard but beyond that I'd say Tuli and Solution 9 easily beat the rest.
Favorite:
Solution 9
Old Sharlayan
tuliyollal (ya like jazz? XD)
And more
Least favorite: none lol
That's just me tho![]()
Eulmore - Very convenient location of aetheryte and vendors, love the music and appearance, story significance.
Idyllshire - Biased because I desperately want Idyllshire housing wards, would be my favorite by far if anything of note wasn't a decent hike from the aetheryte.
Revenant's Toll - Certified hood classic, plus I find myself coming back here all the time because I missed a feature quest.
Radz-at-Han - This place annoyed me during the MSQ having to walk back and forth across it all the time, and I still feel that annoyance.
Solution 9 - I just don't get the appeal, the town is far too big and has way too much null space to not have mount access, plus the pink hurts my eyes. I only go here because the TP cost is cheaper than going from the New World to the Old.
Rhalgr's Reach - If "least convenient vendor locations" was a zone, it would be called Rhalgr's Reach.

hmm, not really a fan of any of the endgame locations you mentioned. Old Sharlayan is probably my favorite out of the expansion cities.
Solution 9 is awful, I hate the entire area and preferred it during Operation Blood because I'm a sadist and enjoyed the carnage of watching it burn to the ground.
I go in, buy whatever with Tombs or crafting/gathering turn ins and am immediately out of there.
My personal favorite was probably Revenant's Toll, probably for the nostalgia of the place but I won't say that Eulmore and Idyllshire aren't fighting for that 2nd place title.
No real opinion on Radz-at-Han or Rhalgr's Reach. They served their purpose well enough but I didn't feel any sense of attachment to those areas.
Mountable areas are all better by default in my opinion so:
Idyllshire/Revenant's Toll
Rhalgr's Reach
I feel like Rhalgr's Reach had the worst aesthetic and the general layout was awful. Idyllshire has everything spaced out but the aesthetics make it feel like an actual city, and being able to ride a mount makes traversal feel a lot better. The aesthetics of Idyllshire just barely eke out Revenant's Toll where you can actually fly so I put them as a tie here.
Then all the rest kind of share the bottom half:
Solution 9
Eulmore
Radz at Hahn
Solution 9 pulls ahead of Eulmore just because of the atmosphere and music, Radz at Hahn has everything spaced waaaay too far apart and that actually matters to me when you can't mount in the hub.
