Remember when Nintendo used to make towns? God, they were so good at it too.
Booting up Wind Waker and being greeted with one of the greatest title screens of all time:
You're immediately introduced to the tone and scope of this brand new world, and what's the location that's set to see you off before you embark in your grand adventure? Outset Island, with one of the greatest town OST's ever:
It's pristine, beautiful, and somehow melancholic all the same. I'm getting choked up here.
Flash forward, how is Zelda handling towns nowadays? Let's take a look at TotK:
What is this? A whole bunch of tents? Who'd want to visit this place, let alone live there? BotW created such fantastic new towns too...
A whole new sky? No towns. A duplication of the same map upside down? Guess what bozo, we duplicated everything EXCEPT the towns.
Anyway, enough Zelda. Lets take a look at the most recent installment in the Xenoblade series, a JRPG franchise known for such iconic towns such as Frontier Village, Gormott, Uraya, Colony 9 and more! Surely Xenoblade 3 follows suit
Nahhh, they're actually a whole bunch of tents around a mech. What happened here? Tents, tents, tents. Let's go even safer.
Animal Crossing is peak cozy town vibes, lets look at the most recent entry in the series. There's no way they're messing this one up
TENTS. DESERTED ISLAND
