Summary0006176: Weather effects and Weather affects.
DescriptionThis is obviously for After you have removed windstorms but I think that weather is a particularly simple way of adding a much needed sense of in-region variation.

I should note first that I think at least some of the weather should be more than simply graphics and sound.

Rather if for example whilst exploring an otherwise permanently sunny abandoned town region (not chunk) it suddenly started a brief (say 5-7 minute) acid rain shower that did minor damage such that I either take shelter in a building or underground whilst it passes, then I as a player am going to remember that as an event much more so than any variation in the terrain itself.

Obviously weather is weather so you don't really need suggestions for types, but affects could be interesting, say large lightning storms raising espers up a tier (in addition to the obvious lightning strikes), or dust storms limiting visibility.

As an aside, I'm beginning to feel like there should probably be a "Post 1.00 suggestions" category
