Two whole pages and not even one area from Xenoblade named? You disappoint me, VGChartz. I'll go with the Fallen Arm, that's as good an area as any.

I don't want to say too much about it because it's part of the second half of the game, but in addition to the music, the setting, and the scenery, I particularly like the sidequests in this area.

FF7 Gold Saucer

whyyyy limit it to one? it's so difficult! :D can't we have one per generation atleast?

but i guess my favourite location has to be all of okami! each area is so meticulously designed, everything is there for a purpose. it all looks stunning and there's always hidden secrets or treasure to find behind every corner. love it!

(i would like to second inside the moon from majora's mask though. it's so beautiful and serene! another favourite is the clock town, so many awesome nooks and crannies there.)

Sea side hill!

Chozo Ruins

this is certainly a hard one. but ill post my favorites.

Red Dead Redemption's Macfarlane Ranch. to me, this is considered one of my gaming "save zones". it always felt like a home to me, actually in one playthrough of RDR i refused to kill anybody while at the ranch during free roaming as i considered it my place to protect lol. 

Another Red Dead location, Tall Trees. this forest was just so.... magical... atleast to me, the hunter, the atmosphere, the wild life, the music, the night cycle, the random events. it was just all perfect. love this location to death.

The first level of Mario 64, the true start to a magical, wonderful jounrey. 

The Last of Us Winter level. this was the most intense level of gaming in my life. i was literally on the edge of my seat for two hours during this part of the game, and after i was done with it i just turned of my PS3 because it was nerve wracking. its literally the best part of a game i ever played. 

God of War 1-3. the atmosphere, art style and universe in these games were mind blowing. it was just a different, interesting, unforgiving and amazing world, which honestly all feel connected, so i cant just chose one. 

Pitfall The Lost expidition world

this games world is just magificent! its a mysterius, wacky, amazing place to discover that feels alive. 

Albion!

Your house in a link to the past start of the game... the rain sound outside actually put chills up my spine the first time playing it, amazing sound quality in that game.

Planet Zebes, Plant Brinstar if I have to choose one part.

Call me crazy but

Any MGS fan will know why
