FF7 - Costa Del Sol to Icecicle Inn to the Slums....

[feioncastor]

In FF7, there are a great deal of diverse places that you visit, from the Carribean-esque beach of Costa Del Sol (where nothing really important happens), to the Alaska-esque Icecicle Inn, to the my house-esque slums under the plate in Midgar, which actually consists of a bunch of smaller towns.

So what I wanna know from you all, is this:

What is your favorite place in FF7?

Mine is a tie between a few places. Wall Market in sector 6 slums, and I also like that one town in the slums where the guy is in the pipe, all weirded out. I like that kind of stuff. People just getting by, however. Y'know, cause that's what we did as kids. We could make a veritable city out junk in a junkyard, and that's what these people were doing, living in cars and pipes, and make-shift leanto houses... We used to make small towns like that in the junkyard in our backyard (we lived in the middle of nowhere, our backyard was huge). Just seeing what these people did to get by, throwing stuff together out of junk and making it into a house is so much cooler than a fully established city with tall buildings and what not...

I dunno, it's tough to choose, because most of the places in FF7 are so f***ing cool...

Cosmo canyon! or the gold saucer depends on my mood

[Camanche]

As a place I'd like to visit/see, I'd definately say the City of the Ancients- The Temple of the Ancient's running a close second. As for a place to live, I LOVE Cosmo Canyon and Mideel, and Nibelheim has a nice vibe as well. So does Kalm. One thing that really made FFVII what it was- to me- was the well thought out and placed towns and cities throughout the game. They were all very unique, fitting to their environment, and generally just downright cool.

But overall, the City of the Ancients, Cosmo Canyon, and Mideel are my favourites, in that order.

My favorite location would have to be the Gold Saucer. It's such a great looking... thing... in the middle of an uninhabitable desert. Works for me. Also, Bone Village is cool. They live in bones. Since I'm so indecisive, I'll also throw Kalm into the mix. It's so peaceful and small.

All the locations of FF7 are creative. I like 'em.

Nibelheim. Most definately the best place in the game. So much of the background is based there, and it is the the three best characters' hometown. Another good place is the City of the Ancients and Icicle Inn. I would have loved to have seen Neo-Mdgar, but unfortunately ShinRa never got around to that. Armageddon put a stop to that plan. Oh well...

Fantastic landscapes! Rocket Town.



Mt. Corel, what a beautiful sight.



Another Mt. Corel moment.

Nibelheim. Most definately the best place in the game. So much of the background is based there, and it is the the three best characters' hometown. Another good place is the City of the Ancients and Icicle Inn. I would have loved to have seen Neo-Mdgar, but unfortunately ShinRa never got around to that. Armageddon put a stop to that plan. Oh well...

It's amazing how Armageddon seems to ruin so many city development ideas...

So, your three favorite characters are Cloud, Tifa, and...Zack?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Zack's hometown is Gongaga.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Isn't Vincent from Nibelheim? Anyway, it's where you find him in the game. My favourite characters are Cloud, Tifa and Vincent. I forgot to mention that I also like Rocket Town, Kalm and Junon. Actually, I think all the cities/towns/hamlets in FFVII are spectacular.

[Destai]

Nibelheim and all round Midgar. Id love to see the city of the ancients.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Vincent is found in Nibelheim because that's where he confronted Hojo in his lab underneath the Shin-Ra Mansion and got shot and experimented upon and thrown in a coffin. His hometown is unknown.

[feioncastor]

Zack's hometown is Gongaga.

When do you learn this in the game?

And why do so many people say Mideel? What's so great about Mideel? There's not much cool stuff there...

Cosmo Canyon is neat too. Gosh, they're all so friggin cool (except Mideel which is only minorly cool)

When u get to gongaga

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Mideel is cool because it's tropical, largely built upon stilts, and you don't get there until relatively late in the game, at which point it's cool to have a brand new town to check out.

Just to remind you of the many options.
