Where do you think you could find Midgar or Balamb Garden or Besaid?
I could see Fisherman's Horizon stretching between the English Channel, Winhill near the Oregon coast, and Timber near Chicago. No idea about Deling City - the United States east coast somewhere, perhaps? No idea where I could see Esthar, either - possibly - in a change from desert to snow - in Sweden.
Besaid is obviously in Hawaii!
Burmecia is maybe in Scotland since it's always raining.
Midgar's pretty cyberpunk, so possibly Hong Kong?
Luca reminds me of the navy pier area in Chicago..
Condie Petie would also be in Scotland because the dwarves have a vaguely Scottish-esque dialect.
Is there any part of Scotland that's actually that dry and sunny, though? :pQuote:

Cornelia would be in Brazil. Think about it for a second.
Lufein would be in Greece.
Pravoka would be in Jamaica.
The Al-Bhed Home would be in the middle of Saudi Arabia.
Kilika would be in the Philippines.
Bevelle in Salt Lake City.
Djose Temple in the U.S. Pacific Northwest or Canadian Pacific Southwest.
Ooh, tell me about Bevelle!
It's the pretty much the capital of Spiral and center of the nutjob religion in FFX.Quote:

Mt Gagazet has all the obvious Everest associations.
Winhill makes me think of small english seaside villages, although I'm aware Winhill doesn't have a seaside. It would just work as one, for me.
Same for Edea's Orphanage. I can imagine it being near Dover, or in Cornwall somewhere.
Junon has an almost old New York vibe to it, to me. An anonymous future US city vibe. All dark and dingy and made up of identical blocks housing industrial workers and bars.
I think both Nibelheim and Dollet could both work as some Bavarian village. I don't know any names of Bavarian villages to compare them to, but they both have the same feel.
Midgar I always saw as New York, but Honk Kong is a decent fit.
For some reason, I kind of want to place Narshe in Russia.
The Midgar Slums is pretty much identical to Harpurhey in North Manchester
Also, The Cave of the Gi reminds of my first flat.

You don't think so?
I think it's just the buildings. Not so much the pipes and junk. I've never been to Bavaria and I'm sure not every small town there looks this way, but they all look kind of similar to me. :erm:
Not every city or building in Bavaria looks like this. If anything it is inspired bym Bavaria or can be German in general. I could take a photo of what Bavaria looks outside of my video. It looks nothing like this. A part of the inner city I live in does, but here, no.
Midgar: China
Esthar: Sweden
Deling: Blatantly France
Balamb: New Zealand
Wutai: Obviously not Japan, I mean they're nothing like, are they?
Narshe: Germany
Figaro Castle: UK
Nibelheim: Switzerland
Costa del Sol: Spain
Junon: Russia
Dollet: Czech Republic
Icicle Inn: Greenland
Gold Saucer: United Arab Emirates
North Corel: South Africa
Fisherman's Horizon: Belarus
Rabanstre: Jordan
Mt. Bur-Omisace: Turkey
Jahara: Djibouti
Academia: New York
Nautilus: Vegas
Luxerion: London
Yusnaan: Italy
Limsa Lominsa: The Netherlands. Give it a decade or two, you'll see...
Ul'dah: Israel
Gridania: I don't think we have an area forested heavily enough for this without it being more of a jungle than a forest. Uhm. I'm going to go out on a limb and say somewhere like Papua New Guinea.
Eruyt Village: Bolivia
Even if it's just a small part of Bavaria, the towns would still fit into that small part of Bavaria.
The argument you're making for it not fitting with Bavaria could be made with practically any of the suggestions in this thread. :p
No, because if only one house in one location looks like a house Nibelheim it doesn't mean the whole Nibelheim fits as it is not generally looking like this. So there is no "Bavaria is fitting" but more "German towns in general" or if you really insist, southern parts of Germany, where Bavaria is included - because of what it once looked like about 1323947802379 years ago. Those houses are nice but don't think people over there are thinking of this style automatically when making a house, no matter if city or village of for more people or less. There are also many ugly huge buldings. I live in one of them. If you are going for "only that piece ofm Bavaria" I guarantee you will find lots of houses with that style all over the world made by architects who like that style (though we can discuss then where the style's origin is, which probably is Germany).Quote:

I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion - if they feel it fits, then they feel it fits, and that's what is being asked. :p Let's not go around getting upset because people feel differently about which Final Fantasy place reminds them of which real world place (or vice versa).
I google image search Bavaria, I get pictures of castles and towns and mountains and I still think it would fit well there.Quote:

That's just, like, my opinion, man.
Also I am totally in agreement with this.Quote:
