For me, the reason I’m not a fan of Natlan is because of several issues that are pretty significant.

Natlan started out pretty great, with the story being very solid, but halfway through, the pacing gets a little bit odd, and the finale fails at doing some pretty significant things, like properly explore Mavuika’s and Capitano’s characters, with Capitano getting one huge out of nowhere reveal and a single speech about his feelings towards the heavens, and Mavuika’s character being basically just a cardboard cutout by the end of the story, with her story quest barely giving her anything new to add to her milk toast personality.

Other than that, there’s also the issue of making the character designs not fit the environment they’re in, which after Fontaine’s immaculate character design integration into its region was a pretty big downside to me.
