✭Nowhere is said that the crystal tower is made of actual crystal. Like the White Gold Tower isnt made of actual white gold (wich would collapse instantly)Huyen Shadowpaw, dedicated nightblade tank - PS4 (Retired)

Why isn't the tempest island made of an actual tempest?

SirAxen✭✭✭✭✭Nah, the way it is looks way better than that. The Elder Scrolls version looks like something that believably exist within the fantasy universe it resides in. That tower there looks like it was put in the game to be flashy for being flashy sake. Then again, such is Final Fantasy in a nutshell. Also, there is a 'Lore' section on the forums.Edited by SirAxen on July 14, 2019 7:28PM0 -

Megatto✭✭✭✭✭This is the dumbest thing ever. Go read up on some Elder Scrolls lore. I don't even know what game that picture is from, but it ain't Elder Scrolls.Remove loot boxes or riot0 -

✭✭✭The crystal of the crystal tower isn't really referring to the construction of the tower itself, but rather to transparent law7 -

except it was built entirely from a crystal substance that exists in massive quantities, so it's not really 'flashy' in the ffxiv universe0 -

✭✭✭✭✭For what it's worth the last time the Crystal Tower appeared in a game it looked like this:
That was in Arena, the first TES game released so there was no previous lore for them to follow or ignore, they could literally do whatever they wanted and since it was all pixel art it was easier than at almost any time since then for them to make it look however they wanted. (You don't get the same effect of course, but it is simpler to draw a static image of a tower which looks like it's made of crystal than to 3D model one with all the proper reflections etc.)
As other people have said it's called the Crystal Tower because it houses the crystal Heart of Transparent Law (which, on a related note, is not transparent), also called Crystal-Like-Law one of the most important artefacts in Nirn. (Although if I've understood correctly there's still some debate - both in universe and among TES fans - about the importance of the Stones vs. the Towers vs. the interaction between each Tower and it's Stone.)
And if any of that still bothers you try reading about the Towers which are not towers at all, including one which may never have actually existed within Mundus.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!
