  I’ve recently finished ARR and only started to feel anything about Ul’dah after the 2.5 questline ending (Rauban is the coolest guy), but Coerthad and Dravania are certainly doing it for me. Gridania, Thanalan, and La Noscea just weren’t as fun to explore as properly ‘open’ landscapes to me

    There is a lot of environmental storytelling in Thanalan that I really like. There is a staircase leading out of one of the exits from Ul’Dah called the “thousand steps of [name I can’t remember]”. The little zone name pops up and you kind of never think about it. It turns out that that place was where a previous royal was sentenced to walk up and down them until she died. Or the giant statues carved into the side of a cliff, etc. It’s always been one of my favorite areas.
