What!? No Balamb town mention!? Time for me to flip e-tables all over the internet. Also, good call on Giza Plains. I'm not sure which I loved more - Giza Plains or Dalmasca Estersand - but they both really gave me the adventurous, excited and thrilled feelings I can only imagine an explorer gets when he discovers new land. It's like... BOOM! Welcome to a massive, wide open world! Enjoy!
