I always loved FF8's locations.

Balamb in particular seemed like a nice place to live. I want to be the guy sitting on the bench, listening to the guitar music and watching the draw point. I also love fish (but not badamb fish).

Balamb garden was also very pretty. I think I would be a better student in that kind of location.

I think most of the towns in FF8 have a relaxing feel to them. Winhill, Dollet and the Shumi village would all be amazing places to retire to.
