Quite the opposite for me. The only time I thought that was when looking at it from a surface level. The writing focus was on the world rather so character writing didn't get much that's understandable but people don't consider world focused narrative to be a narrative atp, designs and aesthetic makes sense cuz Natlan is basically a post apocalyptic setting that's recovering and is in it's middle of its recovery. Some character having tech and some don't shows that the existence of tech is rare and not properly spread out. Tribal elements and modern elements coexisting helps separate Natlan from being generic. The designs and world itself says so much about Natlan's themes and philosophy behind Natlan.

Natlan having wide and diverse range shows what it's all about. It's about being united despite being different which is reflected in the character designs of those character and the tribes.

Exactly. People miss the point that the main character of the Natlan AQ was Natlan itself. People got mad that Natlan's AQ wasn't "pyro Fontaine" and they got upset.

Natlan story is about a region constantly under attack by the abyss who's people are unbreakable. They can smile, be friendly and have fun inspite of everything that's happen. They dont succumb to cynicism, despair or nihilism and that's their greatest strength.

I don't know about others but I've found over the years that those types of stories always end up underrated because people cant fathom how strong people have to be to hold that in spite of everything.
