best areas in gaming
« on: November 26, 2007, 10:07:55 pm »
okay, tell me what the best areas in gaming are and why

Lost Woods/Sacred Forest Meadow - Zelda OoT
well, lost woods was a forest maze, and those are always cool. and SFM was a secret area at the end that was really beautiful. the atmosphere and music were great!, though i wish it had the fog from ALTTPs lost woods.

Dead Sea - Chrono Cross
its so mistryous, the frozen water was cool. the fact it was very sci fi was nice, and i liked the music. the highway area was cool.

Sea Side Area - PSO
well, its just a really beautiful beach >x<

Dark City - World that never was - Kingdom Hearts 2
it was a dark city that had neon signs and shadows that attacked you.

also, anyone notice a paddern in what i like, or know any areas i would like?

protip: the world that never was IS the city. it's just one name.  the city continues on forever.

Yup. Shame too, as I would have said that Norfair (Metroid Series) was one of the best gaming areas ever. Cool name, random bubbles everywhere (in the original at least), home of Ridley, and it has almost necessitated a "fire" area is every subsequent game of the series.

I am also found of the Temple of Fiends from the original Final Fantasy... but mostly because of the hilarious take on it presented in 8-Bit Theatre.

Anyways: I'd always liked Tower of Gheddon and Black Omen. I dunno, it always has this.... uniqueness about them.

FF4 Lunar Core / Lunar Subterrane - Quite simply the best area ever.  Back in 1990/1991 walking on a crystal floor with the Moon's core in the background was simply breathtaking.

The Brothel for Slaking Intellectual Lusts from Planescape: Tormant. The lower floor prerendered background was a artistic master peice. The dialog with the prositutes was equaly well done, especaly Yves the Tale Chaser.

I always loved that place. So damn cool for a final dungeon.

I'd have to say Sylx Tower from Final Fantasy III is cool as well.

Best areas in Gaming eh?

The entire planet of Zebes - Super Metroid. No one area of this game can hold this title without being attached to the others, so they all come in as one big pack. Maridia might have been it otherwise, though.

 Outer wall - Cave Story. The fusion of the windy moonlit environment and the music works very well. A climb towards the top of the island.

 Any night stage, Super Mario Bros./Super Mario Bros. 2J. I really don't know why, but I always wanted to visit these places.
