Please make XIV Resemble FF Franchise: Cities Need Color

[Elexia]

It's funny how people tend to be like "get that realism out of my fantasy!" yet FF games were, while fantasy rpgs, tend to be realistic in the sense you can actually feel apart of the world. None of the FF games had bright rainbow puking unicorn cities, only a few of them had a city, side city or event place like golden saucer that was 'bright and vibrant', the rest were generally neutral colors.

Good Example: Vector from FFVI, nothing says bland like grim, dirty steel, rust-stained steel, and even more steel.

I would also like to point out that holiday events really add color to the scenery. I was mildly dissapointed with the easter event just because the decorations are in one spot only, where as we had sakura trees and fancy paper walls all around for the last event, and xmas was nicely executed as well. But having the cities monotone and relatively bland just make the holiday events pop out that much more.

I like the Cities how they are.

Uldah is a City in the desert and it looks like a City in the Desert.
Same with Grid and LL.
