Costa Del Sol from FF7. Just because it'd be so relaxing.

[Lavalamp1138]

Halure in Tales of Vesperia because pretty

[Wiz]

I always thought Esthar from Final Fantasy VIII was the coolest city ever.



Plus dat music.

[HK-47]

None, cause I'd be smart and head off to Sigil.

[justjohn]

I'm sure if midgar was an actual city in real life it'd be called a ghetto or a slum and nobody would actually want to go there.

Put it in a movie or a game and it suddenly becomes hip.

To answer the question though, my city would be cocoon in ffxiii. Love those really epic futuristic looking cities.

[Gravijah]

None, cause I'd be smart and head off to Sigil.

you're comin' to verdanturf with me.

[CorvoSol]

JRPG TOWN. You should be able to find some cheap ones in Midgar.

The maidens sell their flowers for only a gil?

[Inorigo]

I would probably be happy with any town from FFX, but I'll pick Luca.

It's sunny, it's on the sea, it's typically safe (or so the game says) and I can go see the stadium!

[~Kinggi~]

Why do jrpg towns elicit the most nostalgia? I think its mainly Japanese artistic style is so strong in all their work, moreso than Western stuff most of the time.

[Jtwo]

Tazmily Village for sure.

[CO_Andy]

Lahan (Xenogears)

[mt1200]

FFXII Arcades

[InfiniDragon]

Besides Luca (FFX) and Balamb Garden (FFVIII) that were already pictured:

South Cape (Illusion of Gaia) always made me want to actually live there. The game gives such vivid descriptions of the town, the climate and the atmosphere around it that I could imagine being there pretty easy.

Obligatory 16-bit picture of said town:

[Chunky]

Shibuya, as of The world ends with you, it's my only chance of ever being trendy :(

Or maybe Twilight Town from Kingdom Hearts 2.
Watching the train meander by, eating sea salt ice cream on the clock tower, have an existential crisis when I realise I'm just some simulation for Christopher Lee and a little blonde girl. Would be ace.

[trinest]

One Week?

Looks like I'm off to Shibuya.

(if people don't really count The World Ends with You as a JRPG then well. WAHAHA).

[-PXG-]

Zanarkand, before shit got all fucked up by Sin.

That place looked like it was bumpin, all day, erry day. Fire works, lights and tons of beautiful women. Plus, getting drunk at a Blitzball game? HELL YEAH!!!

OH, or Queens from Dark Cloud



Kind of hard to get a good picture of it. After everything was back to normal, I bet it could be a romantic, Mediterranean-esque sea town. I'd chill with Ruby (sexy magic girl) and live it up with the mayor of the city. Use his car for joyrides.

[HK-47]

you're comin' to verdanturf with me.

k fine

but afterwards im heading to sigil and you are coming

[ZombiePlatypus]

Anyway, my answer is Esthar from FFVIII. I like futuristic utopias and this was one of 'em. EDIT: Man, I love the angle/perspective in the above shot. And it gives you a sense of scale of the Ragnarok ... that thing is huge.

I remember Esthar leaving such a huge impression on me when I first got to it in the game. Say what you will about FFVIII's story or battle system, but it has a beautiful world with amazing destinations. (And music.)

[RurouniZel]

Magic City of Vane

[Ravage]

Winhill from FF8. It seems like a really nice place to relax for a week.



Actually, i would love to visit any of the towns in FF8. Fisherman's Horizon, Dollet, Timber, Deling City, Esthar and of course, Balamb Garden. FFVIII still has the best town designs i've seen to date.

edit: i can't believe i forgot about Rabanastre from FF12.

[Finaika]

Cannot choose WRPG?

[SafeinSound]

Halure in Tales of Vesperia because pretty

Was going to post this myself.

[toddhunter]

I would live here:



Why? Just waiting for a couple of years...

[volpone]

Absolutely love the way it looks. I'd hit up the beach while I'm there too.

[Pinko Marx]

Stock up on weed & shrooms then take a visit down to

[Tellaerin]

Cannot choose WRPG?

Could always make a separate thread for that.

As for the OP, it's a tough call, but I'm inclined to say Zanarkand at its height in FF X. We only got to see the place for a few minutes, but something about the atmosphere always struck a chord with me. I'd love to just wander around and take in the sights, experience life in this big city that seems both familiar and exotic.

[Inorigo]

Zanarkand, before shit got all fucked up by Sin. That place looked like it was bumpin, all day, erry day. Fire works, lights and tons of beautiful women. Plus, getting drunk at a Blitzball game? HELL YEAH!!!

I like the way you think.

[Gravijah]

k fine but afterwards im heading to sigil and you are coming

onward and ahead! <3

[H_Prestige]

It's like Disneyland. But without the rides.

[parski]

Lindblum hands down. Such an atmospheric city.

[Memento_Mori15]

People already took my answers but I'll also go with Luca or Zanarkand. I would love to give Blitzball a whirl

[Conor 419]

It's like Disneyland. But without the rides.

What game's this from?

[SteeloDMZ]

I'd go to Anor Londo and check how my buddies Ornstein and Smough are doing.

[Memento_Mori15]

What game's this from?

The screen is Twilight Town from Kingdom Hearts:Chain of Memories(I think this is the right one).
Edit: It's Transverse Town, from either KH1 or KH: Chain of Memories(PS2). Most likely KH1.

[SatelliteOfLove]

Is this from Chrono Cross?

Ah, sorry, edited to add the name of the game. It´s from Baten Kaitos.

Yasuyuki Honne did those backgrounds, too so that's understandable. He's one of the big reasons Xenoblade's environments are also brilliant, too.

Shibuya! Wait.

That could be dangerous...

[Ghost_Protocol]

Oh shit...I can only pick one? I need time for this....

[Yoshichan]

Oh shit...I can only pick one? I need time for this....

Looking forward to your choice! :)

[Ravage]

The screen is Twilight Town from Kingdom Hearts:Chain of Memories(I think this is the right one).

That looks more like Transverse Town from KH1 to me actually.

[Memento_Mori15]

That looks more like Transverse Town from KH1 to me actually.

Ah, you're right! Sorry! It's Transverse Town, not Twilight Town. I usually get the name confused.

[BlackJace]

Jibral from Blue Dragon.

The streets had dropped treasure literally every half step.

[sixghost]

Lindblum and Treno are almost the entire reason I played the first couple discs of FF9 so many times.

Since Lindblum's already been mentioned


This place was bad ass. The card minigame tournament was there, there was this armor shop that had monsters you could fight for prizes, and the auction house was there.

[Raging Spaniard]

Cant be Midgar, I bet it smells terrible in there.

My first thought was Zeal Kingdom in its prime, before, you know, stuff happens.

Some of those Final Fantasy VII, IX and X choices though ... damn. So nice.

[Montresor]

Fudge, I haven't played many JRPGs. Can I say Windfall Island from Wind Waker? It's a Japanese action role playing game. =p

[SMT]

Celadon City - For the sole purpose of fighting against Queen Erika, and taking her out for a romantic dinner.
Also, visiting Celadon University, and harassing Bill about his thesis based on Viridian Forest.

[Cheska]

Why did I know this was going to be an FF-fest? I'll go with Baroque from Eternal Sonata. Such a beautiful city. Elegy of the Moon is nice too, although kinda creepy, being inhabited by spirits and such.

You know what, I was going to post something different but I had completely forgotten how pretty that city was!

[salromano]

A lot of the towns I would've posted have already been posted, but here's another:

[Rumbelow]

Reverence, the Picture Book Village from Baten Kaitos. Ridiculously colorful, and all the NPCs go on tangents so it's like perpetual storytime.

[LiK]

Eruyt Village - for dat bunny girl ass

[Chuck Norris]

Golden Saucer.

If I'm going to go insane from people repeating the same one line over and over again, I might as well go ride some chocobo's for money while I do it

[Fimbulvetr]

I see everyone is picking the smelly babby answers. Go to Lea Monde. It'll put hair on your chest.
