I wanted to reach out to the community and ask: Which expansion’s endgame hub do you believe is/was the best, and why?
For those who may be new or need a reminder, I’m referring to the specific "gear hubs" (not the main capital cities with the Market Boards):
Mor Dhona (Revenant’s Toll): The original. It began as a small camp and literally transformed into a town as the 2.x patches progressed. Can anything surpass the nostalgia of the Rising Stones?
Idyllshire: Heavensward’s goblin-operated haven. It’s compact, you can ride your mounts everywhere, and it has that warm "rebuilding from ruins" atmosphere.
Rhalgr’s Reach: The Stormblood hub. It’s incredibly unique with the massive statue and the monk temple style, although I know some found it a bit too spread out.
Eulmore: Shadowbringers’ "City of Pleasure." Love it or dislike it, the bright colors and that distinctive Beehive music are unforgettable. Plus, having everything on one level is very convenient.
Radz-at-Han: Endwalker’s colorful gem. It’s likely one of the most vibrant cities we’ve ever seen, and the music is a total hit.
Solution Nine: The Dawntrail newcomer. Pure cyberpunk vibes. It feels entirely different from anything else in Eorzea, but is it too large? Or is the futuristic look exactly what we needed?
What stands out for you? Is it the convenience (how near the vendors are to the Aetheryte)? Is it the music? Or simply the overall vibe and where people prefer to AFK and showcase their glamours?
