The Best Final Fantasy Worlds To Live In

There is debate over which game is the best entry in the series but a lot of votes often fall on Final Fantasy 7. It’s easy to see why as it brought the series into a new era with a bigger world, cutscenes, and a battle system that could be invested in for hours.

However, the Gaia of Final Fantasy 7 would not be inviting guests. The planet is dying, even in the sequel series that followed the original game. Midgar alone has a litany of problems as most of the city is divided into slums. So, if not that planet, then which ones would be fun to get zapped into, like in an Isekai anime?

Updated on May 13, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: Final Fantasy is one of the biggest franchises of all time, and it's easy to see why players can't get enough of the many games in this series that charm fans to this day. Sure, the highs of this series may be behind it, but Final Fantasy never fails to wow long-time fans who love the rich worlds they can explore in each game. In fact, some of these worlds are so captivating that players won't mind living out a life in these locations as long as they can deal with the occasional monster sighting.

9 World Of Balance

Everything Was Relatively Fine Until Kefka Messed With The Warring Triad

Final Fantasy 6 is one of the greatest games in the series, and the way the heroes lose before the world is torn apart makes for a great time. What makes things even worse is that the World of Balance was genuinely a charming and beautiful world to live in, even if the threat of the Empire lingered in the foreground.

Unfortunately, it turned out that there was a bigger threat to a peaceful life than the Emperor, and this was Kefka himself. Watching how ruined and desolate the World of Ruin looks makes for a wake-up call that urges the player to gather their party and take out Kefka once and for all, staging a multi-pronged assault on his fortress.

8 Eos

A Beautiful World Where The Only Thing People Need To Be Worried About Are Monsters At Night

It seems that war is a constant threat across most Final Fantasy games, so using that as a discreditor to the living quality of the many worlds featured in these games can make it hard to select anything after a point. So, despite the political turmoil that is rife here, the world of Eos is still largely beautiful and a treat to explore.

Final Fantasy: 7 Worst Worlds To Live In

The Final Fantasy series is home to many beautiful worlds, but not all of them are good places to settle down in.

The varied landscapes and well-protected towns make it a dream for many to live in this beautiful world. If players are on the fence about this decision, then all they need to do is head to Altissia. The beauty of this city that's inspired by the unique structure of Venice will captivate them in no time.

7 The World Of Final Fantasy 8

Features Its Peaceful Moments, Even If There Are Times When Cities Are Forced To Bear The Brunt Of War

Final Fantasy 8 is one of the most underrated games in the franchise, with many people undermining its quality because of a broken Junction system and some rushed story beats. However, players who overlook these missteps will find this title to have a lot of that classic Final Fantasy charm that makes it a treat to play through.

Most players would love to live in this unnamed world and play Triple Triad for the rest of their days. War is present in some capacity in this title too, but that's a small price to pay for players to live in this wondrous and charming world that is a blast to explore in every way.

6 Gaia

The Heart Of The Cards

Gaia is the planet in Final Fantasy 9 that players can explore throughout the adventure. What makes this place seem great is the culture. It feels effortlessly lived in, and most of the main campaign doesn’t even spend time elaborating on things like race, where everyone lives, the economy, and so on.

It’s also the age of industry, with airships seen high and low as if they were cars in a Grand Theft Auto game. What wouldn’t be so great are the wars although if players can live out their lives post-ending, then this would be the ideal classic Final Fantasy world to live in. Plus, players can get good at the card mini-game Tetra Master.

Final Fantasy 10 technically wouldn’t be a bad world to live in. Disasters only come every thousand years on Spira and absolutely decimate regions of the world. But what’s a thousand years to any generation? Still, it’s not a perfect paradise. That’s why the post-Sin world of Final Fantasy 10-2 would be ideal.

Yuna survived the battle with Sin, and now everyone is banning together to rebuild Spira once and for all. Also, the game overall, despite some rebel factions, seems a lot more upbeat and silly. Machines are even allowed again, which is a huge reason why it would be a better Spira to live on. Maybe Shinra or some other tech wiz could make video games. Honestly, though, who needs video games when players would get to play Blitzball instead?

4 Ivalice

Become Captain Basch Fon Ronsenburg Of Dalmasca!

Ivalice is a prominent world in a lot of these games. While Final Fantasy Tactics is celebrated as one of the best tactical RPGs of all time, it would be hell to live in that version. Ivalice in Final Fantasy 12 is a lot more idealized. Yes, there is war to worry about although that may not be the case if players were to live in a post-ending version.

What’s appealing about Ivalice is that it feels so vast. There are deserts to explore, mountains to scale, and there is even a flying city. Like Final Fantasy 9, it’s a world that feels alive and brimming with wondrous things around every corner from tons of races to another world filled with airships and other strange technology.

3 Hydaelyn

A Never-Ending Adventure

Every new mainline entry that comes out feels bigger than the last. However, as big as these games get, nothing will ever feel as expansive as the MMO, Final Fantasy 14. It started as a giant open-world and it keeps getting bigger and bigger with DLC but this is the nature of MMOs.

It has even incorporated elements from other games in the series, like the aforementioned Ivalice. While dark things are going on, living in Hydaelyn would allow players to feel like they are truly living in a fantastical, tangible world. They could become knights and hunt monsters to keep the peace or make food as a chef. The world is their oyster.

2 Amostra

Become A Monster Hunter

Getting into spinoff territory, Amostra is the world from the forgotten 3DS game Final Fantasy Explorers. This was Square Enix’s attempt to seemingly try and make a portable Monster Hunter game to rival Capcom. Players could pick a class, go out and slay monsters, and then make new gear to explore further into darker territories.

There is no grand story other than quests players could take on, meaning that it is a pretty chill world. While it might be scary or take a lot of effort, something is comforting in the idea of becoming a slayer of monsters. It’s even more appealing if players get their friends to join in on this Isekai-like adventure.

1 Grymoire

Kingdom Hearts, But For Final Fantasy

Grymoire would be the fan’s ultimate dream world to live in from another obscure spinoff, World of Final Fantasy. In this game, two twins get transported into Grymoire, which is inhabited by characters across the franchise, such as Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 and Lightning from Final Fantasy 13.

It’s like Kingdom Hearts minus the Disney worlds, which would also be a fun game universe from Square Enix to live in. It would be amazing to go on adventures with characters like this in a bright, colorful world wherein players could catch monsters as pets/party members too. The only downside is that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of industry or places to visit although this could be different in the “real” version.
