    Default Narshe: Best City Ever

    Let me me just indulge in my love for Narshe for a second. Is is strangely abnormal to get the chills (no pun intended) whenever I enter the city of Narshe? There's just something about the glorious city that makes me feel an eternal calm inside. I remember the first time I played the game, and how I got the chills when I saw Terra heading towards the city in her Magitek Armour.

    This thread is about Narshe.

    It never appealed to me, but then, steampunk isn't my thing. I prefer more vibrant cities.

    When I first saw it I was impressed by how imaginative it felt. After so many stereotypical castles and hamlets in games it was something that caught my attention.

    Narshe is the city from the beginning? It seemed somewhat typical as far as first towns go, meaning you hardly spend much time in it. But that opening sequence is very, very gorgeous for its time, I think.

    Narshe is awesome during the world of balance. But by the world of ruin, I was disappointed that it became infested with monsters

    That's pretty typical of the world of ruin really. Everything goes to .

    Narshe was a pretty cool first town. I liked the music a lot.

    If that was the case, all the towns would've been run by beasts. Narshe was the only one

    The town looked awesome when they were marching towards it in the opening but I dont think i was too impressed by the town itself except for the music.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!

    Just because the other towns aren't overrun by beasts doesn't mean they're not severely damaged. Narshe was just the only town where all the inhabitants died.

    Except Jidoor, everyone knows those inhabitants were already dead inside.

    I can appreciate this thread. The town, along with the song "The Mines of Narshe" set the tone for the whole game for me. Very nostalgic.

    Narshe seems like a nice place to settle down in and start a family. Not too much noise or people , just a nice cosy mining town.
    When we dance, it looks just like Fire.

    When we sing, it sounds the same tone.

    Narshe really shows off the steampunk feel of the game very well. And Narshe's soldiers look like those early 20th century British colonial soldiers with the khaki and big canvas-covered helmet.

    Old post on an old thread, I know, but I just have to point out the idea of "everything going to Umaro" is hilarious. And the censorship actually works, because Narshe did sort of go to Umaro in the WoR.
    Currently writing a massive prequel to FFVI. Starts thousands of years before the game begins with the birth of magic, and chronicles the entire history of the FFVI world. Check it out!
