Which FF World Would You Live In?
Let's face it. A lot of the time, life is dull. Quite often, you wish you could have a different life someplace else.
Such a thing I've thought about for years as I played each FF game. Sometimes, I'd be taken to worlds that looked so amazing, I thought, What would life be like if our world were more like theirs? I thought so many times about living in various FF worlds if only to experience what goes on in them. It'd be a lot better and interesting than my life here, that's for sure.
So I thought I'd pose the question to all of you. If you could drop everything right now, pull up stakes, and move to one of the FF worlds for a better, more fun, more interesting life, what are top three to five worlds you could see yourself living in?
I'll say mine below, and I'll let others throw out theirs.
1. FF13: What can I say? I'm a techno freak who needs his technology, electricity, and Internet, and FF13's world had all of those in spades. Life seemed so easy in that futuristic world, and I'd have given anything to have a world like that. Not to mention the views and the settings in the wild were absolutely breathtaking. Plus, it'd be great living in a place where, basically, godlike machines give you all of your creature comforts. So yeah. Love the idea of living in this world. At least in Cocoon.
Of course, what would repel me from wanting to live here? Well, first of all, the idea of living in the monster-filled Gran Pulse. No, thank you. Also, the idea of living in a theocratic place such as Cocoon, where even the slightest mention of l'Cie can cause a worldwide panic. Or even a deadly Purge. Not to mention living where fal'Cie are basically plotting to exterminate you and everyone around you. . . .
2. FF8: FF8's world is a lot closer to what you'd imagine a current-day world to be, so I'd feel somewhat comfortable in this world. And why not? I'd have grown up learning to fight at an early age at a school designed for training soldiers. And even better, just the idea of actually living at, and attending, a moving, journeying school? Now, that would be an exciting life. Of course, I'd hope to attend Balamb Garden, since that place seemed to have a better, more homey feel to it, overall, compared to the stiffness of Galbadia Garden. I honestly don't know how Irvine could stand living there.
I actually can't think of any extreme downside to living in this world except for one thing: the concept of memory loss from using GFs. Probably could do without that. But aside from that, FF8's world floats my boat.
3. FF10: Not as much technology here (if at all), but I think I could adjust if I'd been born and raised there. What makes FF10's world attractive to me is the summoner pilgrimage aspect. I'd love to be a guardian to a summoner and travel to the various Spiran temples, seeing so much of the world. Just the idea of seeing places like Kilika, Luca, and Bevelle in person . . . wow.
Would there be a downside? But of course. Two, in fact. Threat of Sin, for one. And the one crucial thing that'd happen at the end of a pilgrimage. But you have to take the bad with the good, so . . .
Now, then. Those are my three choices. I'm eager to see what others would have to offer.
