What is your favorite RPG town, and why?

I'm not really sure since there are so many good ones. For now I'm going to pick Pravoka. Why?

    Super Mario RPG Seaside Town.
    First: This music
    Second: So obviously evil that it makes me giggle.

    I personally like Fourside from Earthbound, big city, plenty of awesome NPCs and MOOOOOOOONSIDDDDDDDDDDE!
  • AxelAxel
    Ooh, that's good too.

    The town of Krup in Phantasy Star IV: The End of The Millenium because that's the first time I ever cried for a video game. Because that's where Alys died.

    Summers from Earthbound, because relaxing on the beach and eating kraken stew are worthwhile pursuits. Fourside's a pretty good pick, though, angry taxis and all.

    I blame you for getting that song stuck in my head on loop without clicking on the video.
  • AxelAxel
    That game has the greatest music. Yoko Shimomura is da bomb.

    Actually, does Hyrule Castle Town from Ocarina count?

    Zelda 2 also had some really great towns.

    Zelda 2 yes, other Zeldas no.
  • AxelAxel
    If Zelda counts, maybe one of the Wind Waker towns. Maybe Outset. Or Windfall.
    Hmm...

    Foxton. Though, one wouldn't want to live there.

    Not an RPG.

    I liked the town from Link to the Past. I spent ages trying to figure out what to do with the girl after I'd used the powder on the chicken.

    I went online recently looking up Easter eggs in the game as I'd explored it a lot as a kid and thought there might have been a lot more to find. But nope, turns out I'd found it all and didn't realise.

    What's your definition of an RPG?

    I'll go with Evereska.

    A video game with towns that calls itself an RPG.

    There were several videogame versions of D&D, some of which were set in Forgotten Realms, where this city exists.

    So, Evereska.

    In which game?
  • RymRym
    Do you have to be able to get to the town, or does the town just have to be mentioned in a map or by a character?

    It's a town you go to. Typically with buildings to explore, maybe some shops, maybe some NPCs.

    The town you built for yourself in Breath of Fire II.

    For the obvious reason of you getting to design it and choices that made your game slightly different on other playthroughs. There were similar mechanics in games like Dragon Warrior III, but this one was my favorite of them in the early days.

    Does the Talon from FF Legend III count? It's your dad, it's a ship, and a town all in one.

    Also, didn't FF Legend 1 have some sort of secret happy town inside the tower?
  • AxelAxel
    Aww man, Township in BoFII was da best.

    There's a town in Lufia 2 - I forget the name of it - where you can buy back literally everything you've ever sold or trashed in the game. I always thought that was a neat idea.
    Balmora.
    Good choice.

    I always enjoyed Ironforge back in my WoW days,

    Also, pretty much everything from Chrono Trigger was awesome.

    Violet City?

    No Pokemon towns, guys?

    OH SNAP WE ARE FAIL.

    Best Pokemon town is obviously Lavender town.
  • AxelAxel
    Always liked Goldenrod with the train and radio tower.
  • AprecheApreche
    Did I ever mention how much I love game towns in general? I really want there to be a game that is just all about towns. Dungeon Village and Recettear come close.

    Dude, town management sim where you have to compete with other RPG towns.

    I should make it.

    Like, your town would get attacked by monsters, you'd have to attract heroes to beat dungeons and kill baddies by making your town awesome.
