    FFXIV Character

    Default Favorite City

    I really like Alexandria. Before it (SPOILER)goes boom. I thought it was a great city to start the character off in. Then possibly Lindblum, Treno, Conde Peitie, and Cleyra last.

    WHAT WAS YOUR FAV?

    I used to be a fan of Burmecia, because living in Britain it probably felt the most like home, weather-wise.

    However, on reflection I think I'd plump for Alexandria too. Quite nice, picturesque city, surrounded by water and with quite a nice feel about it. The castle is pretty unique, though I wouldn't want to look at the sword when the sun was shining on it for fear of being blinded... Lindblum would be a close second.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    Treno because I like thieves and ragtime music.

    The name, the music, the events, and of course the location: Alexandria. Love it!

    Lindblum is my all time favourite video game city, it reminds me of a small city close to where I live which in olden days was inside a castle wall.

    FF9 had the best towns, Daguerro was interesting as was Treno.

    Clerya was an awesome tree fort. Too bad it was infested with rats and had to be turn down.

    The Village of the Black Mages. I liked the music very much.

    I would go with Treno if I was rich there, but if I was rich there then I would be a target for thievery. Lindblum seems to be a bustling city. A place to go if you wanted to make it big in the arts or science, but the city is also crowded and may be more expensive to live in, but your salary may balance it out. Alexandria seems more laid back and I like the current queen there, but there might be less entertaining things to do on a weekend. Alexandria has a theatre, but it's a lot smaller than Lindblum's. Hmm... hard one here.

    The Village of the Black Mages and Cleyra had the best music for mine. Treno's great because of all the stuff you can do there. If I had to choose one, I'd go for the Village.

    I definitely hate Lindblum though. Those annoying load times in between travelling from district to district were the dealbreaker. It was especially annoying during the Festival of the Hunt.

    Burmecia for the music and atmosphere, more towns need rain effects. I like Lindblum but I love old school airships and technology, so wandering through the city was always a treat.

    Thinking back, FFIX has some of the best town/cities in the series. Definitely up there with VII and XII.

    It's hard to pick against Alexandria. It's such a great beginning location for the game. Then there's Cleyra, Treno, and Lindblum. Although I agree with Mo-Nercy about Lindblum; traveling between the districts can try my patience. Black Mage Village, Dali and Esto Gaza (great view!) are great, too.

    Since I'm picking just one: Alexandria.

    Probably Daguerreo or Madain Sari. FFIX did a good job at making all towns enjoyable, though...except Bran Bal, maybe.

    You guys are right, they really did a great job with the cities in FFIX. I love them all, pretty much.
