Top 5 Iconic Final Fantasy Locations

Every Final Fantasy story is set in a different world. This of course means, every compilation features different locations and environments. The environments in every Final Fantasy are thus different from each other, as they reflect the themes and ideas of the story, as well as the emotions involved in the story at the time you encounter them in a game for the first time. Of course this is helped with the oh-so-magic use of music...

Continuing with our Top 5 Season We've compiled our top 5 iconic Final Fantasy locations which can be found following. Do you agree with our choices? If not what would you change in the list? (Please note this article contains Spoilers)

why are there so many top five final fantasy lists?

hay5653d ago

Easy traffic my friend.
Midgar and Zanarkand should switch places.

Hentai5653d ago

because final fantasy is the best

FantasyStar5653d ago

FF died the moment FFXII was released. Since then, I haven't followed much FF news or any editorials for that matter.

Danja5653d ago

Was a great game dude....yeah the story wasn't the usual FF story took awhile b4 getting interesting but the scale of the game was just impressive and the battle system worked really well...

I thought summonings was quite useless though and the quickening..

Ap3theBad5653d ago

for me,im a HUUUUGE final fantasy X and 7 fan of the series.... i never got a chance to finish 12 becouse at the time i was into nothing but shooting games so it was hard.
but to me,all the final fantasy worlds up to ffX were AMAZING in almost every aspect.

though iMO,i loved ffx's Story ALOT and drew me in emotionally toards the characters and the world and lives they lived.... now THATS wut final fantasies were allways about... visuals were the weakest point but wut made FF is the compelling stories that drew peeps in.

anywho,the last 2 locations on the list are by far the best... of course midgar is gunna be up there.. Midgar is the power-plant and electricity to square-enix and its continued success and popularity.

Samer3055653d ago

I could not have said it any better. I loved the story of FFX. Very emotional game. But I also really miss FFVII, I will never ever forget how good those two games were. Best stories.

iamtehpwn5653d ago

The entire concept of Final Fantasy X though was designed for a Next gen system like Playstation 3. Really, The game really stuck to the fantasy themes, and the visual design of the game was made before there were machines capable of running it's true vision.

FFX remake for PS4.

Hellsvacancy5653d ago

I may sound a-bit soppy but i really liked the music at Mt Gagazet,

Oh and i also like Balamb Garden in Final Fantasy 8

I_LOVE_MYSELF5653d ago (Edited 5653d ago )

1. Midgar... When I heard about FF7 I was still very young... Maybe around 10 years old... I got a postcard through the door from Sony with a picture of Midgar on it... That one picture made me want Final Fantasy 7... Midgar is quite simply amazing

2. Zanarkand... Everything about Zanarkand is EPIC... The music is beautiful as you run through the ruins... The art work is outstanding... Its a high quality place that tugs your heart strings and makes you feel like you actually know the place yourself and can believe you are there... I grinded so much xp there simply because I liked the music

3. Dollet... http://uk.youtube.com/watch...

I simply love it for that cutscene... Introduced me to my first real task on FF8 (obviously after I got Ifrit)... To be honest the spider was also a lot of fun... But I LOVE the music... Its so BADASS!!!! JUST LISTEN TO IT!!! ARGH THAT CUTSCENE IS AMAZING!

But yeah theres loads of places... I love all the places in all the FF games I have played... They have a distinct quality about them which puts their game worlds above the competition (although Nintendo maybe match their quality with Hyrule from the LOZ games)

Final Fantasy XI Online November Update Goes Live

The latest update for Final Fantasy XI Online, the 'November Update', is now live across all platforms where the game is playable.

Kurisu173d ago

Can't believe this game is still getting updates 21 years after it launched. That's crazy! XI remains the only main numbered FF that I haven't played.

MrNinosan173d ago

At the time, it was an amazing game if you had a good Linkshell and/or friend to play with.
A MMOROG that actually required teamplay to be played.

Spenok173d ago

Easily one of the best games ever. As you said, it had the caveat of NEEDING a good group to play with, but I've never had memories/experiences like that in ANY game since.

I've been chasing that experience since I stopped playing it, and the closest I've come to is FFXIV. And even that is still vastly different.

Seraphim173d ago

Played the shit of this 20 years ago. Getting the Serket ring was epic. Idk how many mornings we spent camping before we finally got the pull and I won the roll upon defeat. It was great solo, but you really need a good link/squad for some of the notorious monsters....

MrNinosan173d ago

@Seraphim
I loved those camping hours for every NM of interest.
Leaping Lizzy or what was it's name. Damn, so many days and nights 😅

And first time you got attacked by the Kraken on the boat, omg...

MrNinosan173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Why tag all those platforms where it ain't playable then?

Spenok173d ago

To get more engagement with his article, and drive clicks. DUH!

(Thanks, I'll go ahead and report that).

YoungKingDoran173d ago

Wish they'd release it for PS4, 5, Xboxes and Switch - it ran on ps2 and still works on potato PCs so should run well everywhere

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow208d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga207d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183207d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB207d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo207d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic206d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.
