The Thunder Plains (FFX)



The Ancient Forest (FFVII)

Alrighty, give me a moment to try and best order them into OP.

Plus shifty you need to be shot for suggesting thunder plains... dodge 200 lightning bolts for relic lulu weapon.. damn you relic weapons.. I got hit in the 100s a few times.. -______-;

(its really celestial but hey who cares.. lol)

Yeah, in terms of Memoria, I wasn't expecting a replica of it. Just something similar to it that would fit within the scope of the lore of the world. The Promyvion areas always gave me that eerie feeling when I went into them; (the music really helped with that too) I'm looking for something that'll hopefully have that much of an impact with the mysticism of an area like Memoria.

These are the best kind of threads IMO

Anyhow, here are some ideas:
* = use the exact name, new design
‡ = use a different name, similar design

• FF1 - Four Fiends' Dungeons: [Earth Cave, Gulug Vocano, Sea Shrine, Mirage Tower]*
• FF2 - Dreadnought* (pretty obvious where/what this dungeon should be )
• FF3 - Town of Canaan*
• FF4 - Magus (magnetic) Cave*, Sylvan Cave‡
• FF5 - Fork Tower‡, The Void* (<--an easy fit, as this appears across FF games)
• FF6 - The Auction House*, Narshe‡. Tower of Zozo‡
• FF7 - North Crater‡
• FF8 - Tomb of the Unknown King*, Lunatic Pandora‡
• FF9 - Iifa Tree‡, Chocobo Air Garden‡
• FF10 - Calm Lands‡, Kilika‡
• FF11 - Den of Rancor‡, Riverne‡, Stellar Fulcrum*, Valley of Sorrows*,
• FF12 - Pharos at Ridorana‡, Phon Coast‡
• FF13 - Vile Peaks*
• FFT - Monastery Vaults‡, Necrohol of Mullonde‡

A small town with very peaceful music in a snowy area like Esto Gaza from IX. Even to this day, I'm still kind of obsessed with that little town's BGM.

I'd still like to discuss what our favorites are and I'll move / update the tally up to the top and start linking to peoples posts, but I hit the 20 image limit lol. I suppose next time I'll be smarter and reserve a few posts.

I'm going to make the tally (From) (Name) (OST) (Poster), so we can know which FF, have a song, and know who posted it if we want.

Zantetsuken said Chocobo Gardens:


I'd also really like to see chocobo Paradise:


I imagine Chocobo paradise would be in the sky and at the point you introduce sky content Golden Saucer would probably be up there too lol

I'm not done tallying but right now 9 is doing pretty good lol. Which is funny because 9 was designed as a fan service to past FF games, so fanservice of the fanservice. Us SE fans love our fanfare :P lol

Esto Gaza has some real slick music Klefth

[Forgo]

surprised to not see this yet Hall of the Gods FFXI

[Klefth]

surprised to not see this yet Hall of the Gods FFXI

Yes. I don't know how would they fit something like that in there, though. Hall of the Twelve, maybe? And in a not-so-hideous manner as that ugly and unfitting "cathedral", please?

[Enkidoh]

SPOILERS AHEAD

A Hall of the Gods-type place probably wouldn't work in FFXIV though lore-wise unless it was there for similar lore reasons as the FFXI version (it was actually the ancient Zilartian gateway to their blasphemous floating citadel of Tu'lia after all, and was connected with the rest of their ancient relics, like the Crystal Lines, the teleport Crags, Delkfutt's Tower, Fei'yin and Ro'maeve). So unless SE has plans to erect a huge floating zone like Tu'lia it would be quite pointless.

Unless they make it that it has something to do with the Algan (sp?) Empire that is.

PROMYVION OR BUST
This was my sanctuary; I'd come in here alone on Dancer and solo around for hours at a time, just relaxing and farming beastmen seals. The look, the feel, the music... everything about it was soothing and it was my favorite place in Vana'diel to be. If I had the ability to do something similar in ARR, I'd be one happy Moose.
