Now, especially in Black Brush and Drybone, you can see a lot more vegetation where there didn't used to be any. That geyser area at Stonesthrow, the area around the dead goobbue in Drybone, a ton of greenery at the Burning Wall, and the vegetation leading to the Shroud. As was said before, Drybone was called that for a reason.(04-12-2016, 03:19 PM)L Wrote:But is the extra greeniery  just cause of improved graphics or an intentional choice cause rain?

Thanalan itself is mostly unchanged since 1.0 if I remember the terrain correctly.
So would that would make the rain more of an amusing weather phenomenon due to programing of the game; rather than a sign of shifted weather patterns like Coerthas?
In 1.0, during the fall of Dalamud, the massive amounts of rain in Thanalan was given as a huge sign as something being very wrong. The rain has just remained. There's also much, much more greenery than there was in 1.0.
