BesaidFinal Fantasy XAn island town, Besaid is small and rather quiet, housing little more than a port, a temple of Yevon, and its own blitzball team, the Besaid Aurochs. It has recently gained fame as the home of the High Summoner Yuna and as a pleasant vacation spot, drawing crowds to the island in droves; its relaxed atmosphere and tropical scenery, however, allow it to retain its overall feeling of serenity.

BevelleFinal Fantasy XThe heart of Yevon, Bevelle is an ancient city, the largest and most grand in Spira. Its temple was one of many stops for summoners making their pilgrimage to Zanarkand, and over a thousand years ago, the city was at war with them, leading to the creation of Sin and the start of Yevon's teachings. Now it stands as the base of New Yevon, its long-buried secrets coming to light a little at a time.

BhujerbaFinal Fantasy XIIA floating city located on the sky continent of Dorstonis, Bhujerba is supported by its wealth of magicite, making mining a key profession among its residents. It is a popular travel destination, and to cater to this, Parijanah guides dot its streets, always available to point a foreigner in the right direction. Under the rule of House Ondore, the city has long remained neutral in conflicts, with the exception of the current head Marquis Halim Ondore IV's stand against the Archadian Empire several years ago.
Bhujerba has its own rich culture and, as a result, its residents speak with a distinctive dialect, containing several words unfamiliar to those of other countries.

BurmeciaFinal Fantasy IXThe Realm of Eternal Rain is home to the Burmecians, a race of ratlike people who hold honor in the highest regard.

Burmecia was attacked and severely damaged by Queen Brahne's forces three years ago, but its citizens - as well as the survivors of its sister city, Cleyra - have since returned and repaired it.

Conde PetieFinal Fantasy IXConde Petie is a village of dwarves, who greet travelers with an enthusiastic "Rally-Ho!" - but only allow them in if they receive the same greeting in return. Marriage is an important part of dwarf life - so important, in fact, that they don't allow anyone through their town unless they hold a wedding atop the Kirkboat, holy place and symbol of the village. The entire structure of Conde Petie is contained within one large building, built like a bridge atop a pair of roots from the Iifa Tree.
