Thanalan still looks mostly the same-ish.

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.

I can confirm that, due to that .0001%, that the cakes are a lie.

But is the extra greeniery Â just cause of improved graphics or an intentional choice cause rain? Are we talking trees or just Sade grass?

Probably both. But in 1.0 while there was vegetation, it was mostly dry grass, brush, and cacti, aside from a lot of greenery in the wetlands under Horizon. 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.

That's a fair point, but where would the sound come from? I don't know if I've ever even seen a large bell in-game. lol

Don't hold me to it, but I think somewhere in the Ishgard/Coerthas area they have a bell.
I'm probably going to be looking around for that later this evening......if I remember.
You get me a screenshot I'll eat my hat!

...also I'll send some gil to you or something for the trouble. lol

I found one!

My personal favorite:

In Southern Than down at Forgotten Springs, if you go outside, there's a small stream/creek that flows into the pool the Miqo'te girls are in.

The stream is utterly barren on either side.

The reason this bothers me is that it makes no sense. So, the reason that people settled along the Nile (which flows through a desert area) is that it's GREEN AND BEAUTIFUL on the BANKS of the river (because of the water source). Even in arid places, wherever there is a running source of water, there is always vegetation around it (and often trees). That's why an oasis is an oasis - the presence of water means green vegetation and trees.

But there is no green on the banks of this stream. It's just sand. It makes no sense. It drives me nuts.

There really isn't anywhere near enough to reflect the frequency and amount of rain they're getting, though.

I agree there isn't, but there's still a lot more than there used to be. That along with them explicitly mentioning the heavy rains as strange during 1.0 seems to say that the heavy rain in Drybone is intentional. Just another shift of the climate like we see in Coerthas, the random jungle that sprouted up in La Noscea, and the expansion of the Sagolii into Southern Thanalan.
