All time favorite FFXI zone

[Gulder]

After 7 years of game play I still find myself drawn to this, even after all my original friends have moved on to other things. I've been trying to figure out what exactly it is that makes me log in daily.

It may be that the game's atmosphere and music has a lot to do with it. Which brings me to my favorite zone, South Gustaberg. I love the music there and when the sun is setting, the place just feels like home. (On a side note, does it remind anyone of the 2002 PS2 game "Way of the Samurai"?)

So gents, which zone in FFXI is your all time favorite zone, and why? Discuss.

My favorite ffxi zone is Purgonourgo Isle (I hope I spelled that right lol) it reminds me of hawaii, like the postcard hawaii, and it's just so relaxing there....I like all the zones in ffxi for various reasons tho

South Gustaberg?! That's Netherland...to me Misareaux Coast(the waterfall spot is beautiful), Sky(not running around it though), Al'Taieu, Ru'Lude Gardens and the more obvious Purgonorgo Isle <3

Bastok Mines if I'm sitting some place waiting for someone, but best fighting place is by far South Gustaberg.

Hmmm... Misareaux Coast, Ru'Aun Gardens, and Al'Taieu are definitely all up there for me. The battlefield portions of both Empyreal Paradox areas are amazing, and I've always kinda liked Promyvion and the starter areas (Gustaberg, funny enough, is my least favorite though.)

Also, Sanctuary of Zi'Tah.

Ronfaure, mostly because of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Jx8Xgy8Xs.

I very much like every zone that's been mentioned thus far, each for various reasons. Gustaberg was where I first started the game, as well as Ronfaure. So playing in those zones brings back good memories of years ago.

All time favorite zone is Ru'Aun Gardens. If there is a paradise I want it to look similar to this.

But of course I love many zones of Vana'diel. South Gustaberg is beautiful and it reminds me of the fresh adventuring atmosphere I experienced when I initially began playing the game. Sanctuary of Zi'tah is also beautiful and reminds me of the early summer mornings I would spend farming Tree Cuttings with my friend (after we were finished I'd always sit outside and watch the sun rise). Jeuno once held a dear place in my heart but has lost some of its appeal upon returning from Whitegate. Al'Taieu is also soothing, though the acid trip sky coupled with the UFOs sometimes makes me feel more anxious than relaxed.

Manaclippers and airships are nice as well. I pretty much enjoy the majority of Vana'diel. I can only name a few zones that I don't like, such as Caedarva Mire...

Misreaux Coast The Waterfall near the entrance to the Sacrarium. My all time favorite spot:
