Fantasy town online game series#
The usual background music for towns in early installments of the series had each game's own staple town theme, which is usually a calm and peaceful melody. Also certain visitable "towns" only serve as ruins, now devoid of their once ancient civilization.

In few cases, access into towns is restricted until a certain point in the game. Some towns may be located near castles, or castles may even be towns themselves. Most notable exceptions are where town areas may also serve as playable areas with monster encounters as in Final Fantasy VIIIdepending on when the town is visited in the game and Final Fantasy XIII where every town is treated nearly equal as dungeons. They are usually accessed via world map and are void of random encounters, although boss battles may occur in towns. Towns are often in the heroes' way to their goal, and are crucial on quests, since various events necessary for the story to progress may take place in these areas. A town ( 町, Machi ?) is a game element in the Final Fantasy series, where the player can rest, revive party members, buy armor, items, weapons or magic spells, hear rumors and various information given by NPCs or even catch ferries to other areas.
