    The terminals in Agniritha that give you quests kinda reminds me of the short story "There will Come Soft Rains" where a house of the future has automated technology that is going about it's normal daily routines despite the fact that the house is wasting away after a nuclear blast annihilates all the nearby people. It really added to the sombre tone and the feeling of exploring the remains of a society that had a sudden and tragic end.
    Like the terminals act as a sort of dispatch for improving living conditions and taking care of threats for the residents, but the reality is that these quests benefit no one.

    There was actually a surprising amount of exploration in the mechonis sword between the top pathways, the mechon fortresses, a few branching pathways, the mines and the secret crater like area once you defeat the unique monster m100

    Interesting ranking to say the least. Mine would give Sword Valley and Mechonis Field a much higher rank. I really love the atmosphere of Sword Valley and missed it when it was gone. And to me Mechonis Field simply has the best area theme of the game, so i'll take every annoying elevator and switch to make more detours and hear it for a longer time x)

    • @MaxMonado

    I personally really liked the bionis shoulder and thought it made better use of its space than any other area in the game. Visually it's nothing special but from a level design perspective I think it's the best in the game

    Just gonna leave my personal ranking here:
    1 Satorl Marsh (Nighttime is stunning but daytime is underrated too)
    2 Valak Mountain
    3 Bionis' Leg (MUSIC)
    4 Central Factory (Shocked you put it so low, there's a lot to do and I like how the parts link together)
    5 Agniratha
    6 Bionis' Shoulder
    7 Fallen Arm
    8 Mechonis Field
    9 Prison Island
    10 Alcamoth
    11 Colony 9
    12 Makna Forest
    13 Sword Valley
    14 Tephra Cave
    15 Eryth Sea (Beautiful but I'm not too fond of the layout, and not just regarding excessive swimming)
    16 Galahad Fortress
    17 Frontier Village (Bit confusing to navigate on the first playthrough)
    18 Colony 6
    19 Ether Mine
    20 High Entia Tomb
    21 Bionis Interior (Still dont hate it, but the layout is boring being stuck on the paths and the music is only ok, which makes it bad by Xenoblade standards)

  • @Zaothus

    Alcomoth's lack of Skip Travel Points (especially on the 1nd floor) really brings it down for me, questing in it (even with max Quickstep) takes so much unnecessary time running around.

    It sucks that some of the coolest looking areas in the game are a pain in the ass gameplay-wise. Valak Mountain was always a bit annoying to traverse and Satorl Marsh is covered in extremely high level enemies when it looks interesting. Eryth Sea suffers a bit in terms of traversal too.
    I'd say the reason why Uraya is my favourite XC area is because it looks amazing _and_ it isn't fucking annoying.

    @samuelline9573 Год назад +2

    I have to disagree with you here. To me Valak mountain is the worst area in the entire franchise. It's very unclean how to get from one place to another and the constant slopes makes it feel like you are breaking the games collision detection when you just walk down a hill. And it's so long with how it has you zig zaging between locations to make progress.
    Yes the night atmosphere and ice physics are fun but that isn't enough to save it. The night atmosphere is at best putting a better coat of paint on a bad area that still isn't fun to explore. And while the ice physics are great they are only used occasionally and they just serve to remind the player of how slow the default walking speed is.
    And as bad or boring as areas like sword valley and bionis interior may be they are at least relatively short
