IV - Mount Hobs, and Mount Ordeals (2)Originally Posted by champagne supernova
VI really bored me. What all SNES FFs and Chrono Trigger have in common is that, in all of them, you always have to climb up mountains. I don't understand how it can be such a frequent occurrence that something of use is up a mountain. As a result, I struggle to distinguish which mountains, items and games are related, making my SNES Square game world a bit bizarre, with characters often moving world (I'm sure Chrono went up Mount Hobs to find Sabin.
V - North Mountain (though you do travel through it twice), Drakenvale (2)
VI - Narshe Mines, Mt. Kolts, Cave of the Espers, Zozo Mountain. (4)
Total = 8
VII - Mt. Corel, Mt. Nibel, Gaea's Cliffs, and the mountain in Wutai (4)
VIII - Dollet Satellite Tower Path (1)
IX - Gizamulke's Grotto, Aerbs Mountain, Pinnacle Rocks, Conde Pete Mountain path, Mount Gulug (5)
Total = 10
VI and CT are guilty of using mountains, but to CT's defense, it does a much better job actually making the mountains look aesthetically different by time period. But overall, the PSX generation of FF abuses mountain dungeons more more. Caves on the other hand...
Besides, what wrong with mountains? I happen to live up in the mountain regions and its beautiful, better than them sickly plains where you can see nothing for miles around.
