Dislikes

Windurst as much as it is the prettiest home nation it is too big, have to run around your A$$ to get to your head. Where as Bastok is small and simple with everything you need within arms reach in bastok mines its ugly as sin.

Beaucedine glacier, Meriphataud Mountains, la theine plateau any area that has serious elevation issues so it takes forever to get places.

I've always enjoyed forested areas, as much as the yuhtunga/yhoater jungles can be confusing its still easy on the eyes, same with The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah and grauberg

that's too bad, I met lots of cool people doing GoV and FoV through teaming up.. even got to break the language barrier a lot of the time. Its a shame that your roomy has to put up with players like that, come over to my server lol

Favorites:
Ronfaure (West, East S), Castle Zvahl S (the music and atmosphere is amazing), Sandy, Vunkerl S, Lufaise, Sea, Sky, Wajoam Woodlands, Zi'tah, Promyvion, Riverne, Purgonorgo Isle

Dislikes:
Attohwa, all Abyssea zones (first impression was okay, but quickly became an eyesore), Gustaberg and Bastok (for some I'm sure its like home, for me it's too grey, dull and lifeless), Garbage Citadel, Temple of Uglypie, Yuhtunga/Yhoator

If I could somehow swap all Abyssea zones to look like the normal version of the zone, I would :\

As far as music goes, Gustaberg holds a special place in my heart.
Only further confirmed by this traditional music arrangement.



If anyone is interested in the entire arrangement, PM me and I'll be happy to send you a copy.

My god, that was beautiful, Art!

Gotta be South Gustaberg, the music and atmosphere always reminds me of my first foray into Vana'diel. I used to sit on coast and watch the sunset.

Misareaux Coast and Tu'lia are close behind. I also love the underwater Alzadaal Ruins and the surreal Garden of Ru'hmet.

I love this game! It has so many funky places. Nobody likes Norg? Too bad there's almost no reason to visit there.

Jungle/Kazham is about the only zones i dislike.

I'd love Norg a lot more if they'd just let me onboard one of their pirate ships so I can go on a pirate adventure. I'm looking at you Gottna!

I'm going to cut the foreplay and just give everyone the album.
Ladies and Tarutarus, I give you: Kou Ogata's Vana'diel Traditional Suite of Minstrels
Enjoy~

Likes:
Rolanberry Fields / Rolanberry Fields <S> (Some of the best game music, especially past version)
Lufaise Meadows (I swapped the piano version of the music in, but I like the subtle specialness of this zone)
Hall of the Gods (Nice light effects at certain times, music, statues)
Al'Taieu (Just..amazing.)
Castle Zvahl Baileys (Ominous sounds and thrilling danger, at least at level 75)
Wajaom Woodlands (Music and scenery portray timelessness)

Dislikes:
Whitegate (Middle eastern-ish theme)
Windurst (I can't stand Tarutaru....)
Oldton Movalpolos (Poor/unrealistic architecture, dull)
Nashmau (It's a city run by rats...)

Abyssea has the best music.

Thank you sir. Very much appreciated.

Bumping in case anyone is interested in that album.
