Home, Steel Home
It seems I've started a Cool RPG Cities themed list series around here. I posted one semi-recently about cities trapped in permanent night, and there's another municipal trope I'm always happy to see in a game I'm playing: that of the city made almost entirely of metal. These generally appear in JRPGs and are treated as a visual shorthand for a place which places technological advancement beyond the spiritual and perhaps even physical well-being of its citizenry. They also tend to include a lot of badass anachronistic steampunk environs with some cool music and quasi-futuristic nonsense going on besides.
It's a safe bet I'm going to like any city made entirely of clangy metal walkways and rusty iron panels for buildings. They have such cool designs.
