I have seen many guides that menion locations in FFVIII that are "close to Hell/Heaven". What exactly does that mean and where abouts on the game can find out where they are?

island closest to hell is the west most island while island closest to heaven is a north east island.
check the circled islands on this map.
Final Fantasy VIII Draw Points Map - Galbadia X
You might want to equip Enc-None.
There are tough enemies on those islands.
"close to heaven/hell" I assume is a pun on that they are on the top of the map and bottom of the map, however as to when they are mentioned in the game I am not sure.

I just typed ff8 map into google. As you can see, the island farthest to the west is closest to hell and the farthest northeast is closest to heaven.
Those islands have really hard enemies and lots of invisible draw points.
I got curious so I started scouring gamefaqs to see what these hotspots were called in other translations:
l'île Paradisiaque (paradise island)
l'île de l'Enfer (island of the inferno)
anyone know if they were the same in the japanese?
天国に一番近い島
Tengoku ni Ichiban Chikai Shima
Island Closest to Heaven
地獄に一番近い島
Jigoku ni Ichiban Chikai Shima
Island Closest to Hell
As you can see, the English names are achingly accurate.
How accurate is "chicken-wuss?" =O
チキン野郎
Chicken-yarou
"Yarou" defies literal translation, but it's basically just a derogatory name. "Wuss" is pretty appropriate.
Thank you everyone who has answered me. I am sorry for the late response.
I'll have to check those places out when I can. I'll keep looking for when they get mentioned (if you know, don't hesitate to tell me)
you can get there the moment you get the ragnorak aka the airship.
It's a really good place to go to level up, if you use Quistis.
I didn't know Ragnorak was known as "the airship."Quote:
