Here we go! A complete list of every town and important locale from the entire series! Have fun! (A note about 5 and 6: There are three worlds in 5; the last world consists of the first two worlds, merged. If you see "First" or "Second" world, that means that the location still exists in the third world; if you see "First World Only" or "Second World Only", that means it disappears after the worlds merge. For 6, WOB refers to ONLY World of Balance, WOR to ONLY World of Ruin, and if it's left blank it exists in both.) Midgar and Gold Saucer from 7 have their own sections!

Balamb Garden (8)
The building was originally a shelter built by the Centra people; it has the ability to completely lift up and travel independently by way of an energy barrier acting like a hovercraft. The Garden was started by Cid and Edea Kramer as a military academy to train people from the ages of 5 to 20; their purpose is to destroy the Sorceress. The main funding was provided by NORG, who suggested that to pay off the debt the SeeDs who graduated from Garden should be hired out as mercenaries to any faction who required it. The Garden is a self-contained city; places to visit include the Library, Infirmary, Training Center, Dormitory, Cafeteria, Quad, and Parking Lot. The Headmaster's Office is on the third floor and the classrooms are on the second floor. The flight mechanisms are on the MD Level and the Master's Room, where NORG lives, is in the first basement.

The starting point for the game is the headquarters of the pseudo-evil empire of Baron, whose king is intent on capturing all of the Crystals for his own dark purposes, which proves to be the release of Zemus. The king of Baron is really Cagnazzo, one of the four Emperors under Golbez. The true king is actually Odin, who was killed by Cagnazzo a while before the game's storyline began. Baron's elite air force is called the Red Wings (Biggs and Wedge anyone?), the head of which is Cecil... at least until he's booted for having a conscience. Baigan, the Captain of the Guards, snitches on him and his longtime friend Kain. Cid and his daughter, and Rosa and her mother, live in the town surrounding the castle.

It's also the center for Gatta and Luzzu's cadre of the Crusaders.
[X-2] Wakka (the soon-to-be-daddy) is now in charge of protecting the village; even the lazy Aurochs jump on board to be trained by Beclem, a slavedriver from the Youth League. Several heretofore unexplored caves can be found around the island, too. The Cloister of Trials gets revisited (like all the others) too.

Bethla Garrison (Tactics)
This fort is surrounded by cliffs on three sides and was used as a front line base during the Fifty Year War. The Hokuten tried to take Ovelia here but was stopped by Delita at Zirekile Falls; Goltana captured Queen Ruvelia and took her here, starting the Lion War in the process. Orlandu was taken here after being framed by Delita for murdering Goltana. Ramza must open the floodgates to stop the Nanten and Hokuten Knights from fighting each other; afterwards, Orlandu will join.

Calm Lands (10/X-2)
So called because this huge plain is an ideal spot for defeating Sin and bringing a Calm, which many Summoners have done here.

Hidden in the side (only accessible via Chocobo) is Remiem Temple, off to the northeast is the Monster Arena, and the far north leads to Mount Gagazet.

Fishermans Horizon (8)
A village on the water, located halfway between Balamb and Esthar. All of the citizens used to work for Esthar before Sorceress Adel came and wreaked havoc; they escaped to FH, as they call it. The name was made up by the Master Fisherman who lives there, but supposedly it doesn't mean anything. Mayor Dobe is an avid pacifist; he used to be a nuclear specialist in Esthar. The Grease Monkey knows the Artisan from Shumi Village. Martine retires here as well after the Galbadian takeover.

You must grab them both simultaneously, because the tower explodes!

Shinra's after the Huge Materia stored in this tower, but rebels fight them every step of the way to save the almost-extinct giant condors in the tower. You can fight a nice mini-game here from time to time, and you have to in order to get one of the Huge Materia later in the game.

The Garden was sent to attack Balamb Garden in an epic battle which tested Squall's leadership skills to the max.

The evil wizard Hyne has taken the Elder Tree from the Living Forest and fashioned it into a floating palace! He then captured the king of Argass (who he used to work for) and his entire court.

Gestahl finally invites the Returners to dinner after the Espers practically destroy Vector. The Returners talk to as many soldiers as they can and act as diplomatically as possible at the meal.

[X-2] The Youth League helps to rebuild Kilika, but peace is elusive. Kilika's youth, most of whom join the Youth League, constantly have it out with New Yevon, who are holed up in the temple past the jungle.

Between the woods and the temple lies a frozen tundra. The Al Bhed make their second attempt to capture Yuna here. Inside the temple (once Yuna has gained the friendship of Shiva), Seymour dies for the first time at the hands of our heroes. The Guado chase them down the lake, but the lake cracks and they find themselves under it!
[X-2] After the defeat of Sin, the temple falls into the sea (much to the chagrin of O'aka, who just bought Rin's Travel Agency, to find himself with no customers).

Macalania Woods (10/X-2)
A frozen forest stuffed to the brim with fiends and an extremely annoying mini-game involving chasing butterflies. It's also the spot where Auron shows Tidus his first Sphere dropped during Braska's pilgrimage. Finally, it's the home of the huge plant eye who powers up the Ultimate Weapons. South of the woods is the Thunder Plains; northwest leads to Macalania Lake, and to the east lies the Calm Lands.
[X-2] After the temple disappeared, the magical forest soon began to wither away, and its denizens resigned themselves to death. The Guado also flee here, determined to wither away with the forest - but music ignites hope in both Guado and native alike, and everyone moves back to Guadosalam in the end.

Madain Sari (9)
A town of summoners. This place was completely wiped out by Garland's Invincible airship ten years ago. The only two survivors were Dagger (who reached Alexandria in a boat) and Eiko, who ended up living in the ruins by herself and her faithful moogle friends. The Eidolon Wall here pays homage to the summoners and their spirits. This is also the spot where Lani and Amarant catch up with Zidane.

Magic Circle Cave (3)
A secret passage inside Dorga's House leads to this place; only Midgets can fit inside. At the end lies a secret circle which bestows the ability to change an airship into a submarine.

Magic City Gariland (Tactics)
Home of the Gariland Military Academy, where Ramza and Delita train. A band of thieves poses the first real fight of the game here.


Flag of Gariland.

Magitek Factory / Magitek Research Facility (6, WOB)
The sprawling facility inside Maranda creates Magitek armor and drains Espers of their powers. Celes and Locke find Ifrit and Shiva being drained by Kefka here. Cid joins their cause in the Research Facility when he realizes what Kefka's real intentions are. However, that doesn't stop Kefka from unleashing his diabolical Cranes against the intrepid dudes!

Magnetic Cavern (4)
This is where the Dark Elf, who stole the Earth Crystal from Troia, lives. He put a damping force on the cave so that any metal equipment would freeze its wearer, rendering swords and armor useless. Edward luckily saves the day using his Echoer harp.

Mandalia Plains (Tactics)
Also known as the "Beast Plains". Ramza and Delita rescue Algus from the Death Corps here. Later, when they're chasing Golagros and Teta, the two youths reminisce about Balbanes, Ramza's father, and remember how he taught them to play a reed flute.

Maranda (6)
This is Laura's home; first her soldier boyfriend, and later Cyan in his stead, send their letters here.

Marsh Cave (1)
The hiding place of the Crown.

Materia Cave (7)
There are four of these around the world, which require higher-level Chocobos to reach. They hold the HP<->MP, Mime, Quadra Magic, and Knights Of Round matera.

Materiwood (TA)
The place to go for materite, a great gift for princes. However, Doned betrays Marche to a viera clan, who attack him.

Matoya's Cave (1)
Self-explanatory, I think.

Melmond (1)
A town whose earth and people are rotting away. Dr. Unne lives here.

Memoria (9)
A very strange place, reached from within a purple ball formed above the Iifa Tree by the crazed Kuja. All of the memories of Zidane's friends are brought to fruition here. It leads to the Crystal World.

Meteor At The Ruins (5j)
See Gorn Meteor (5).

Mideel (7)
A town with some nice shops, Cloud is washed up here with amnesia from the Lifestream and is taken care of in a clinic. However, the Ultima Weapon causes a rift in the Lifestream and Cloud and Tifa fall in! They wash up without harm, and with Cloud's memory intact.

Midgar (7)
A giant, sprawling night-encased city where you start off. Midgar is basically run by the Shinra corp. There are eight Mako generators spaced around the perimeter; the city is divided into eight sectors, and the Shinra headquarters is at the top of a giant "pizza" as Barret calls it - a huge steel disc covering the slums of the city. Here are the places you'll find in Midgar:

Mi'ihen Road (10/X-2)
A long, winding road leading from Luca to the Mushroom Rock Road. It's named after Mi'ihen, the original creator of the Crimson Knights, later renamed the Crusaders. The Chocobo Knights patrol it. This is the first place Tidus encounters Rin's Travel Agency. It's also where he meets Maechen and Belgemine for the first time, and fights a large Chocobo Eater monster here as well.
[X-2] Rin's machina now watch over the road to try to protect passengers from fiends, but not everyone is happy with the new developments; lots of people miss the good ol' Chocobos. After the machina go haywire, Rin undertakes a whodunit, with Yuna's help, to find out who made it happen. Several different outcomes can occur from this, a few of which also end up with Chocobos making a grand return. There's also a hidden dungeon to be found here via the Chocobo Ranch in the Calm Lands.

Mine (MQ)
Arion gets trapped here; Benjamin and Reuben must use a Mega Grenade to free him. The boss is Jinn, whose palette swap monster pal is Iflyte... makes you think, huh? (See Ifrit in the Summons section.)

Mirage (5, Third World)
This town lies in the N-Zone, but by traveling in a small forest southwest of Crescent Town, you can reach it. All of the best magic, armor and weapons can be found here, as well as the Black Chocobo and the last piano in the game. There's a locked door which can only be opened from inside the N-Zone.

Mirage Tower (1n)
See Tower of Mirage (1).

Missile Base (8)
Galbadia's development facility has the capacity to decimate a city - as it demonstrates by torching Trabia Garden. Selphie does her best to try to stop the missiles, but sometimes your best just isn't enough...

Mist Cave (4)
The cave to Mist Town from Baron is home of a Phantom Beast called the Mist Dragon, who turns out to be very closely - too closely - connected with Rydia's mother.

Mist Continent (9)
The largest continent on the world is pervaded by Mist from the Iifa Tree. This continent has Alexandria, Lindblum, Burmecia, Cleyra, Treno, the Chocobo Forest, the Ice Cavern, Gizamaluke's Grotto, and the main Qu's Marsh.

Mist Town (4)
Rydia's home is a haven for Summoners. They have very close connections with their Phantom Beasts. Unfortunately, Cecil and Kain come there with a bomb device (hidden even from them) which torches the city, leaving them gaping in horror.

Mithril Town (4), Silvera (4a)
This town is populated by status freaks: Mini people, Frogs, and Piggies. All the stores sell Mithril equipment. There's a cave nearby (past some coral reefs) with another Mini person who mines Adamant.

Mobliz (6)
A dying soldier lies here in WOB, pining away for his love, Laura, who lives in Maranda. You can buy Dried Meat here to get Gau on your side. In WOR, the ruins of Mobliz are home to only children, and Terra, who takes care of them. A giant beast, Phunbaba, terrorizes the town from time to time.

Mognet Central (9)
A place hidden away inside a crack in a mountain on an island in the northeast of the world (talk about hard to get to!). It houses the machinery that keeps the Mognet moogle mailing system going. Artemicion, the mail moogle, ends up throwing a wrench into the works by mistake when he misappropriates the Superslick grease needed to keep it going. 8-)

Moogle Forest/Moogle Canal (5, Second World Only)
As the name implies, you can find moogles here! The canal leads to the forest and is infested with moogle-eating monsters.

Moon's Core (4)
Zemus has been sleeping here for eons, growing like a cancer. All of the enemies here are super-powerful. At the end of it lies Zemus and his alterego Zeromus... and the end of the game.

Moonflow (10/X-2)
Connected to the Mushroom Rock Road to the south and Guadosalam to the north, this lovely river is surrounded by pyreflies (those little glowing thingies) and is decorated by moonlilies. The Hypello run a Shoopuf line between the north and south banks of the Moonflow. Jecht attacked one of these once and swore drinking off for good after the embarrassment. 8p An attempt to capture Yuna by the Al Bhed (read: Rikku) is foiled here by Tidus.
[X-2] Tobli and his Hypello workers stage concerts (and avoid creditors) here in between his big shows involving Yuna.

Moore (5, Second World)
This is the town near the Great Forest of Moore. Once the worlds merge, you can get the Brave Blade or Chicken Knife here.

Mount Corel (7)

Home of the dwarfs, who build canals and make swords.

Mount Gaea (7)
A huge mountain leading to the Whirlwind Maze. You must keep warm on the way up!

Mount Gulg (1), Gurgu Volcano (1n)
Home of Kary, the Fire Fiend.

Mount Gulug (9)
A volcano near Esto Gaza on the Lost Continent. This is where Kuja imprisoned Lady Hilda, Cid's wife, and where he attempts to remove the eidolons from Eiko. (This should really have been called Mount Gulg - it's spelled the same in Japanese - and the music is a remix of the Mount Gulg theme from FF1.)

Mount Hobs (4)
The pathway to this mountain is covered with ice, but Rydia can burn it down. Cecil and company meet Yang fighting a bunch of Bombs at the peak. Passing through the pathway leads to Fabul Castle.

Mount Kolts (6, WOB)
A large and fairly dangerous mountain. Terra, Edgar and Locke are dogged by Vargas as they climb; at the end is a climactic battle with Vargas and Sabin.

Mount Ordeals (4)
At the top of this mountain is a secret chamber in which dwells the spirit of KluYa, the Lunarian. He allows Cecil to become a Paladin by fighting his own dark side, and teaches Tellah the spell of Meteor. Cecil is ambushed by Milon here on his way with Palom and Porom. Compare with Citadel of Trials (1).

Mount Zozo (6, WOR)
Cyan's made his home at the top of this mountain, where he sends letters to an unknowingly bereaved woman. The Storm Dragon hides in a chest to attack the party.

Mua (5j)
See Moore (5).

Murond (Tactics)
One of the 7 provinces of Ivalice, the Murond Glabados base, which is controlled by the Church and is autonomous of any government. Vormav and his minions hide out here before they weasel the location of Murond Death City out of Funeral.

Murond Death City (Tactics)
The holy place of the Murond Glabados Church is the place where St. Ajora can be brought back to life. Kletian and Balk guard the final battlefield.

A mainly viera town, located in the treetops. Marche is cornered by the judges here and captured.

Mushroom Rock Road (10/X-2)
This organic-looking pathway runs between the Mi'ihen Highway and the Crusaders' Command Center. Water geysers propel platforms vertically to join pathways at different heights.
[X-2] The site of the Command Center is now the headquarters of the Youth League. Depending on who you side with, several different missions occur here. You can also find the entrance to the Den of Woe on the lower level.

Mysidia (2)
A town of wizards which has some of the best equipment and magic in the game. The Goddess Statue in this town has a strong connection with Mysidia Tower.

Mysidia (4)
A town of wizards, it holds the Water Crystal. Cecil and the Red Wings took it by force, killing many innocents, by the order of the king of Baron. The Elder of Mysidia is willing to give Cecil a second chance, however, so he orders Palom and Porom to accompany (read: spy on) him as he enters Mount Ordeals to become a Paladin. There's a magical passage here called the Devil Road which leads to Baron Town. In 5 and 6, one of the random animals which can be called in battle (using the Animals [5] or Slot [6] command) is the Mysidian Rabbit, which does nothing in 5 and heals a small amount of HP in 6. (In 6a this was translated to Lagomorph.)


Mysidia's flag.

Mysidia Cave (2)
A cave east of Mysidia holds the Crystal Rod; however, you can't enter the cave unless you can get past a doppelganger of Firion (it can be dispatched by using the BMask on it). The Crystal Rod is used to open Mysidia Tower.

Mysidia Tower (2)
The strongest magic spell, Ultima, is hidden here, but there are several obstacles: Three items (hidden in Fynn Basement, Tropical Island, and Mysidia Cave) are needed to open the gate, and even when you have them, the tower's guardian Leviathan makes a meal of anyone trying to enter...

Mythril Mine (7)
The Midgar Zolom's swamp bars the way to this mine, which separates Midgar and Kalm Town from Junon. Only a Chocobo can cross the swamp fast enough to elude the Midgar Zolom. Sephiroth's left his calling card here - a giant Midgar Zolom impaled on one of his Masamune swords.

Nargai Cave (TA)
This ghostly cave hides the seam to Adrammelech's Crystal.

Narshe (6)
The first town we see in 6 is a mining town where a frozen Esper, Tritoch, has been found. The town is neutral and does not wish to fight the Empire, but Kefka's battallion of troops charging their way changes their minds! The Narshe Caves, behind the town, are large and sprawling, home to a good-sized Moogle population and a Sasquatch cave. The thief Lone Wolf pilfers some treasure here and causes a nice chase scene. This is where Terra meets Locke.

Nelveska Temple (Tactics)
Ruins of an ancient sanctuary (actually a research center from long ago) was used as a guerilla base during the Fifty Year War. This is the only place where Reis can regain her true form, but it's guarded by Worker 7-new.

Nepto Shrine (3, Floating Continent)
The sea dragon Nepto has part of his soul in his statue here. When a greedy rat steals one of the eyes and hoards it away, it's up to the Heroes to shrink, enter the statue, and regain the Eye - otherwise, Nepto's mindless rage will destroy the waters!

Nibelheim (7)
The birthplace of Cloud and Tifa. Almost all of Cloud's memories are concentrated here, and Tifa must sift through them to find the real Cloud. There's an abandoned Shinra Mansion which also figures heavily here (Sephiroth went nuts in the library five years ago, and Vincent can be found there now.) The path leads north to the Nibelheim Mountains.

Nibelheim Mountains (7)
These craggy cliffs invented the word "foreboding". There's a Mako reactor nearby in which Hojo placed his experiments with Jenova breeding. Jenova herself is stored here, but Shinra extricates her to the Shinra HQ; Jenova was subsequently "rescued" from there by Sephiroth.

Nikeah (6)
A port town, the Serpent Trench leads directly here. Ships go from here to South Figaro. This is where Celes meets Gerad in WOR.

North Corel (7)
Now a poor coal mining town, North Corel was brutally torched by Shinra several years ago. The only thing of note it has is a Ropeway Station to the Gold Saucer.

Northern Crater (7)
The final dungeon leads straight into the world's core, where Holy is trying to escape, impeded by Sephiroth. The party must split into three to reach the inside of the Planet and the final showdown with Sephiroth.

North Mountain (5, First World)
Dragon Grass, which is poisonous to humans but heals Dragon wounds, grows plentifully here. As well, Bahamut will meet you here after the worlds merge.

Northwest Castle (1n)
See Western Keep (1).

Nubswood (TA)
Marche teams up with Clan Ritz to defeat a renegade clan called the Cheetahs here.

N-Zone (5)
The place where dimensions collide was the hiding place of Enuo and now it's Exdeath's lair. This is the place where the Void ("Mu") starts and ends. It's a really massive dungeon, populated by tons of bosses, including the horribly difficult Omega and Shinryuu! At the end is the final battle with Exdeath and Neo Exdeath. You'll meet Gilgamesh twice here, but the last time he'll be on your side!

Observatory Mountain (9)
A small outpost near Dali; cargo ships use it as a beacon. Old man Morrid, a coffee connoiseur, lives here.

Oeilvert (9)
An ancient ruin on the Forgotten Continent. Words from Terra are ingrained here, as is the Gulug Stone, which Kuja greatly desires and sends Zidane to fetch for him.

Omega Ruins (10)
Home to the hardest monsters in the game as well as the Ultima and Omega Weapons. The chests here bite back and contain random items in a most annoying fashion. Only reachable via the airship.

Onlak (1), Onrac (1n)
This town has a submarine leading to the Sunken Shrine.

Opera House (6)
The most well-known scene in 6 happens in the Opera House, where Locke and Celes stage an elaborate diversion to capture Setzer's trust, while Ultros tries to gum up the works from above. Maria the opera star, who's a dead ringer for Celes, sings here often. The Opera Impresario is a very excitable fellow. 8-) In WOR, the Dirt Dragon will attack here.

Orbonne Monastery (Tactics)
Simon heads this peaceful, 1200-year-old sanctuary, but its giant underground library hides more than most think. The Germonik Scriptures are hidden here, as is the entrance to Murond Death City...

Ordalia (Tactics)
A country near Ivalice. Ivalice declared war on Ordalia because of the complaints of the province of Zelamonia, which runs along the Ordalian border. Ordalia agreed to a peace treaty but it was really Ivalice which surrendered.

Pazuzu's Tower (MQ)
The giant bird-man lives here and guards the Wind Crystal. An escape elevator makes him that much tougher to get ahold of.

Phantom Forest/Phantom Train (6, WOB)
The forest is filled with ghosts, but nothing prepares Sabin, Cyan, and Shadow for the train in the middle of the forest. The train takes people to "the other side" - somewhere they really don't want to be. Wandering around will get you to meet Siegfried and several friendly ghosts, but most will attack you. A strange car has a full meal ready for you which heals all HP/MP and status. At the end, you must fight the Phantom Train itself! Cyan then watches in horror as Elayne and Owain get on the train themselves...

Phin Castle/Cave (2j)
See Fynn (2).

Phoenix Caves (6, WOR)
The party must split into two to navigate the maze of spikes and lava here. The Red Dragon guards the Phoenix Magicite, which Locke has come here to find. Phoenix revives Locke's love, Rachel, but only for a very short time.

Phoenix Tower (5, Third World)
A desert-surrounded tower is all of 30 floors high! To go up a floor, you must check for either a left or right passage. One way always hides a strong enemy, the other hides the entrance. You'll meet Magic Pots on the way up. Once at the top, Reina's Dragon will sacrifice itself to become the Phoenix Summon.

Pinnacle Rocks (9)
A pond near Lindblum is the home of the eidolon Ramuh, who gives Dagger a test before he allows her to summon him.

The mountain next to Canaan is the hunting ground of Bahamut. Desh is stuck at the top here, in Bahamut's nest.

Rocket Town (7)
Cid lives here with Shera, his dismally abject servant, who is forever trying to make amends for a fault which cost Cid his dream. A large rocket, Shinra No.26, which went through a failed takeoff thanks to Shera, figures prominently in the background of the town. Palmer and Rufus make a scene here when trying to steal Cid's Tiny Bronco; he makes a daring getaway but the Bronco is grounded for good. Shinra No.26 is later revived for a desperate plan to destroy Meteor, and Cloud and company head up in it.

Roda Volcano (TA)
A newly active volcano hides the seam to the Crystal of Ultima.

Salikawood (TA)
Lured here by the rumor of the Emerald of Salika Keep, Marche instead finds Babus, who attacks him.

A secret underwater entrance south of Salonia leads to this cave filled with nasty monsters. Getting through it means you end up back in the castle, in an enclosed room whose only occupant is the now-angry Odin.

Salonia Town/Castle(3)
The biggest city in 3 is divided into four sections and a castle. Gigames controls King Gorn in the castle. Southwestern Salonia has a pub, where Prince Allus, who's been banished by Gorn through Gigames, drowns his woe. A tower in Southeastern Salonia belonged to a family of Dragoons and their legacy is hidden there. Northwestern Salonia holds a large library, and Northeastern Salonia has all the shops. Odin lives in a blocked-off room in the castle, which can only be reached via the Salonia Catacombs.

The Elixir to heal Kaeli is supposed to grow here, but Tristam took it and only gives it to you if you complete the Bone Dungeon.

Sand Tides Desert (5, First World Only)

Delilah, the eccentric old woman who owns the Floating Shoes, lives here in the Amur Sewer. The four old men who claim to be the Heroes get stuck by a bunch of Goblins here, however, and after rescuing them they do the real Heroes a good turn by grabbing the Floating Shoes from Delilah.

Shumi Village (8)
An village 323 meters underground in the northern continent is populated by the peaceful Shumi people. The Shumis evolve as they grow older and their appearance changes to suit their hearts; most become Elders or Moombas. The current Elder is very wise but sometimes way too down-to-earth - at least for his poor Assistant. The Shumis refer to themselves in third person, and only by their occupations. It's home to the Artisan, Specialist, and Sculptor as well. Laguna's statue is being built here.

The only person living here when Celes awakes is Cid, who's been caring for her for an entire year. Celes has to take the initiative now to heal her newly-found "Grandfather".

Sorceress Memorial (8)
A large edifice, standing in southern Esthar; its purpose isn't clear, but that's where they want to seal Rinoa's powers.

South Gate (9)
The entrance into Lindblum. Only airships can pass through here.

South Figaro (6)
This town is occupied by the Empire early into the game, but if you're nice enough to Gestahl at his banquet, you can get the soldiers to leave. This is where you first meet Shadow. Locke helps Celes escape from a basement here, after several clothing changes. In WOR, Celes will follow Gerad from here to the Figaro Cave.

Spencer's Place (MQ)
The canals and bridges lead to Phoebe's grandfather, a strange one if there ever was.

Spira (10/X-2)
The world where FFX and FFX-2 take place; however, frequently we find the world apparently divided into two entities, Spira and Zanarkand, even though Zanarkand is just one city. *shrug*

A mainly bangaa town, and home to the prison.

St. Ivalice (TA)
The snowy city in the real world which gets turned into the country of Ivalice.

Statues Of The Quest (3)

Sylx Tower (3)
Unne holds the key to the tower beyond the Labyrinth of Ancients, but she can only create it if you kill her first. On the first floor of the tower lies the entrance to Forbidden Land Eureka. Climbing the tower will yield a final battle with Zande, followed by an unexpected voyage into the Dark World and a fight with the ultimate evil, the Cloud of Darkness.

Tear's Point (8)
A place of great magical (or something like it) significance, it also has the power, under certain circumstances, to cause a Lunar Cry. The Solomon Ring can be found here, and the Lunatic Pandora is guided there by Galbadian forces.

Temple Of Chaos (1), Temple of Fiends (1n)
The home of Garland the errant knight who kidnapped Sarah is also the gateway to 2000 years ago by way of a black Orb. At the end of it resides Garland/Chaos.

Temple Of The Ancients (7)
This mysterious place is the resting spot of the Black Materia, which can call Meteor and is needed by Sephiroth. Aeris can speak to the spirits of the Cetra in here.

Temple Of Time (3)
An underwater temple holds Noah's Lute, the only thing which can wake Unne from her ages-long slumber.

Thieves' Fort (Tactics)
A floating fortress, formerly a fishermans' shelter. Dycedarg sends Ramza here to defeat a cadre of the Death Corps (kind of to get Ramza out of his hair). Ramza meets with Miluda for the first time, as leader of the cadre.

Third World (5)
This is the original world, which existed many years ago; an amalgamation of the First and Second Worlds. The N-Zone is caused by the separation and re-combination of the two worlds.

Thunder Plains (10/X-2)
The Gandof Thunder Plains connect Guadosalam and Macalania Woods; these rocky plains are inundated with lightning bolts (and a mini-game involving them). Long ago, a man named Bilghen built towers to protect passerby from the bolts. They don't work all that well. ^^; Kimahri can get his best weapon here by praying to the Qactuar Stones nearby.
[X-2] The towers seem to have gotten better at blocking lightning, but they still need to be calibrated. Yuna stages her big concert here in chapter 4, as well. Cid can be found here, and so can a secret dungeon accessible in chapter 5.

Timber (8)
A city desperately trying to rebel against Galbadia's iron rule. Timber houses tons of rebel factions who just don't seem to be able to make a dent in the dictatorship. It's also the home of Timber Maniacs, the worldwide publishing firm where Laguna made his mark. It's a train center, with trains heading to several spots on the continent and off it. Rinoa's known Mrs. DiMarco, the inn owner, for years.

This tiny town has been ravaged by the wizard Hyne. There isn't much here, but returning here later will get the Heroes themselves captured by Hyne!

Tomb of the Unknown King (8)
As the name implies, a dead king is buried here. It's supposedly bad luck to name them, so it hasn't. This maze is also the home of the Minotaur (in his own element, I guess) and his brother, Sacred. It's used as the test to see if Squall and his friends are worthy to meet Caraway.

Tomra (4)
The town of dwarves lies on its own continent underground. The dwarves don't have much to add to the story, but they have the best equipment money can buy.

The canal leading to Tycoon Castle is infested with sea monsters. It's locked by a key in the keeping of Zok, who lives in Tule.

Tower Of Babel (4), Tower of Bab-il (4a)
The giant home of Rubicant, Emperor of Fire, stretches from the bottom of the earth to the sky. The lower section is the roaming grounds of Lugae the mad scientist, who did some really nasty things to Edge's parents, the king and queen of Eblan. The upper section holds all eight Crystals from both the upper and lower worlds. Yang risks his life by blowing up the lower Tower.
Tower of Mirage (1), Mirage Tower (1n)
Getting to the top of this lets you reach the Flying Fortress.

Tower Of Owen (3, Floating Continent)
This tower was built by the great sage Owen many years ago; it's the thing which keeps the Floating Continent up in the air! Owen appointed his son Desh as caretaker of the tower, but Desh got amnesia and left. To calm the fires, Desh jumps into the furnace himself. But since no one good really dies in this game, he's not really dead. 8-).

Treno (9)
The city that never sleeps is situated near Alexandria. There's a lot to see and do here, including: a card tournament, monsters to battle in an item shops, an auction house, Queen Stella's house (bring your Stellazio here!), and Dr. Tot's tower (and the entrance to Gargan Roo).

Triangle Island (6, WOR)
The only two enemies here are Intangir (an invisible enemy) and the Zone Eater, who'll swallow you to meet Gogo.

Troia Town/Castle (4)
The town of Troia has a huge acclaim with a dancer's show. The castle is ironically ruled by eight woman Clerics (the politically correct version of the Circle of Sages from 1), and all of its guards are female. Troia has the Earth Crystal, which Cecil must collect to save Rosa from Kain and Golbez. However, it was stolen by the Dark Elf...

Veldt (6)
A continent full of monsters, this is Gau's hunting ground. This is the only place he can learn his Rages. In WOB, the Serpent Trench begins here at Crescent Mountain; in WOR, the Veldt Cave appears here. Mobliz lies in the northeast in both worlds.

Veldt Cave (6, WOR)
This cave in the Veldt leads to a clash with the Sr. Behemoth and a downed ally: Shadow (if you waited for him at the Floating Island) or Relm (if you didn't). Either way, you'll end up in Thamasa.

Via Infinito (X-2)
A 100-level semi-random dungeon hidden in Bevelle. The Kinderguardians find it first, but it takes the Gullwings to plumb its depths. Nearly every monster in the game can be found here, and the bosses on every 20th floor are extremely powerful. At the end, Yuna has to fight with Trema, the founder of New Yevon.

Via Purifico (10)
A two-part maze, one of stone and one of water. After a sham trial by the maesters, Tidus, Rikku, and Wakka (surprise) are cast into the water while the rest of the party must navigate the stone. At the end of it is the Highbridge in Bevelle.

(10)
