There's like a nice fire and a gazebo and some benches, but that's it and they're all outside in the stark cold anyway. Who wants to hang out there? A lot of neat potential RP areas in Heavensward have been instanced too. Not cool! And outside the city, the few settlements suffer from the same issues, especially when compared to places like Aleport, Wineport, Horizon, Fallgourd Float, etc etc. I think if the new areas in Stormblood do better at this more people might feel compelled to go out and use such areas. Hopefully, anyway.
This is a good point. I hate to bring up that game, but Stormwind, for example, has plenty of chairs, benches, parks, alleys, nooks, and empty buildings so it really lends itself to RP. Ishgard was so closed off, and while that makes sense lore-wise, it was boring.
I wonder if anyone has brought this up at a Fanfest. I certainly hope it's something they considered when building the new cities and settlements.
