I like the idea in principle, but see one potential problem that I would like to see nipped in the bud so it doesn't sink the whole thing.
Simply put, the worlds in most games are more similar to our own world centuries ago than Atys is. Other game worlds have stone castles, steel blades, and other things that actually existed on Earth. Atysian blades are made of shell, and our rifle barrels and heavy armor are made of wood. Stone isn't a popular building material on Atys, nor are homins really into the whole large-scale excavation thing. Trykers will make piers, Fyros will work the sand to make some walls, Matis will hollow out trees, Zorai will do some thatching, but none of them are into masonry and we leave the tunneling to the Kitins.
Between the resources available on Atys and the architectural inclinations of the four races inhabiting the rootball, any sort of constructed area will require a bit of story-telling about how these constructed areas came to be, and how homins have not seen them even in history books for so many years. That right there might actually be the hardest part of the project.

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.
