After going through Living Memory, I can say that Solution Nine is just, such an amazing place. While Living Memory is where those long gone would live in an eternal good memory, Solution Nine is a real place, with real people, eating real food, playing real games, drinking with friends, buying furniture for their homes, taking their bikes and cars for a spin along Electrope highways, and after all is said and done, a place where people can live and die happy to have lived a good life, especially after the Regulators become less common, and death becomes a normal and accepted part of life again, it makes Solution Nine look more alive and vibrant than Living Memory ever was, because it's not just a thin sheen of colour and nostalgia over a cold steel shell, it's a living, breathing, changing city, and that's always gonna be better than some fairytale wonderland.

The scale of S9 is kinda crazy. We are limited to a certain scaled down version for gameplay purposes, but just looking at the background and the highways and stuff, you can see that theres more skyscrapers. Whether its office buildings or residential, you can tell S9 is probably the most populated city to exist in FF14. The sheer scale of it is really cool especially when you compare it to like Limsa which looks like it has the population of several hundred at most

I will never afk in limsa again. Enough said.

​@@098Xzibit Because it gives people a reason to occupy both cities instead of the populace primarily leaving one vacant when they finish MSQ. That way, the beginning town is still bustling with people even for new players that get here towards the end of the 7.x patches. People will logically always flow through the second city always because the tomestone and scrip vendors are there, but the Market Board being in the first city ensures that people will be around it well into the postgame. Personally, I'd prefer if inns were in both cities since having inns doesn't really disrupt this flow of people traffic like Market Boards and currency vendors do.

However, I have read a lot of comments from people who very much disliked it and I can fully understand why. There's a pretty hefty difference between the weird arcane-magitech of the Allagans and the more classic science-fiction-style of Solution 9. We don't know about the day to day life in the Allagan Empire, but there is an aesthetic clash. The Allagans had always this weird barely comprehensible tech, in Solution 9 you find laptops, holographic TVs and people running around with their coffee cups and let's not forget the drone bikes or the straight up nightclub. Hell you can find a guy doing a job application test in the government sector. As I said I don't mind it. In fact give me all the clothes the NPCs are wearing. Give me the option for their replicator-thing on their head. Give me the nightclub vibes. But, I can fully see why some people do not like Solution 9. Which is why I phrased the comment as I did: Some might not like it, but there's no denying that Solution 9 is easily the grandest city in the game so far.
