I thought it was rather obvious myself... |

It would be interesting if somehow the architecture was representative of the period in which each city was founded. Thus, Cloudsdale could either be much older (original architecture) or much newer (revival period) than Ponyville. And I have a feeling Canterlot's grown into its shoes as a capital in the last thousand years; the old one, of course, is now an ancient ruin overgrown by an enchanted forest. |

All that is missing would be references to Africa and Asia. South-America too maybee. |
| WingbeatPony #284461 1 year ago |
Well, Zecora's hut has an African flair; I'm sure there's more of it in her "native land." |

^ Zecora has a few aspects of Africa in her hut, like the hanging bottles. Asia.... Maybe we'll see Kirin eventually? |

Canterlot reminds me of some Russian cathedrals more than the style of Middle-Eastern buildings, actually. Just look up the Russian Orthodox Cathedral or St. Basil's Cathedral, and you'll see what I mean. Though they do blend multiple styles together very well!
Being that I used to play World of Warcraft, Canterlot actually reminds me strongly of Silvermoon City. Very elegant and beautiful. :) |

^ Byzantine style, maybe? |

Byzantine works, Anon. It's synonymous with "intrigue" and "mystery", which probably describes the goings-on in the royal court. |

there needs to be a jersey shore style city, with all them bangin clubs and fresh lookin colts. |

Never really thought about it like that, but intriguing. |

Word of Faust says that Canterlot was based on Minas Tirith, but I don't know whether that extends to the architectural style used in the movies or just the "city in a cliff" vibe. |

Am I the only one who thinks Ponyville is more like colonial or post-revolution America? |

^Well we do have Wild West Apploosa as well. |
| RealityCheck #285626 1 year ago |
Personally think they should have gone with a more European style for Canterlot.... |

I'd like to think that Cloudsdale was inspired by Zeal in Chrono Trigger, what with the waterfalls falling off the side and whatnot. |
