"So, what were you staring at?"

Vivi
"Nothing. But I keep hearing a sound like 'kweh.'"

Zidane
"That's the sound chocobos make..."

Vivi & Zidane
"......"

"I'll see you back at the inn!"

Vivi
"Okay!"
"What are chocobos...?"
[Vivi hears another "Kweh!"-type sound]
"Chocobo!?"

Seems about right

Pretty much all of them in Grandia.

>>389250167

Has anyone here tried the Grandia Redux? What's it like?

The trails series is god tier in general for that reason. It's insane how much attention to detail there is. Just note that it's a very long ride once you get into the series. I've played all 7 so far, and the waiting game is rough.

I have Legend of Heroes: TitS. Is that the starting point?

>>389248103
Who in the world liked Vivec? Other than the moon prison it was so damn bland. The Redoran city with the giant crab, or any mushroom tower, were way neater.

I remember when I played BOF3 the one of the early towns surprised my by feeling big, and like a realistic town. Too bad the characters and pacing was so shit I couldn't force myself to play much further than that.

>>389251769
There are games before that, but that is a good point to start.

There's practically three villages in the whole game, but I quite liked the hubs in the first Nier.

Something about the music and atmosphere, and depressing side quests.

>>389252135
eh

>>389251769
Yeah, it's the first in the trails subseries. You can disregard what >>389251769 said, there are legend of heroes games before them but they aren't related to trails. The trails series is all connected, with each game taking place on the same continent in different countries at around the same time.

i loved lindblum as a kid and still thought it was a really cool place when i replayed this a year ago. treno was always my second favorite

Wall Market from FFVII
Dollet from FFVIII
Archades and Rabanastre from FFXII
Altissia from FFXV could have been really great if you could explore it in it's entirety and had some more side content.

Only 90s kids remember. I miss that time when I was in high school I usually got my homework done at school and would go home and open playstation 1.

I miss that day.

I always liked Kamiki Village in Okami. Great starting area.

The towns and cities themselves are pretty small compared to modern JRPGs but they have extensive lore and NPC interactions.

Every Suikoden castle town is good. Usually good music, nothing special in terms of design, but can't be beat in terms of unique NPCs. After all, how can you beat a town populated by NPCs you recruit yourself (and others who came because you built it up and made it what it is), most of whom you can even put into your party if you want.

But among all of them Suikoden 3's sticks most strongly in my memory.

>>389248103
Golden Sun has a couple good ones. Kalay and Vault in the first game and Prox, Alhafra and Lemuria in the second.

If we're talking pure visuals, Altissia in FF15 is hands down the comfiest and most beatiful location I've seen in a video game.
There's practically no interactivity or NPCs that aren't just window dressing though.
It's such a shame the game ended up the way it did, because the artists and designers did one hell of a job.
Exploring Altissia is a very melancholy experience since you get to see all the potential being squandered before your eyes.
There's even a couple empty quest boards where you can see that the city was originally meant to play a much more important role.

Myst and Riven.

Not much in the way of NPCs, but the towns are as unique as you can get.
