Puisque je suis très occupée et que je suis paresseuse en plus, les informations sur FF7 resteront en anglais... Désolée.
Eastern continentMidgar (ミッドガル): The largest and most industrialized city in the world, where both Shin-Ra and the second incarnation of AVALANCHE are based. It sits in the middle of a large plain on the eastern continent. The area around the city has become distorted and polluted as a result of the use of mako reactors. The city is divided into eight numbered sectors. Each sector has two areas: one at ground level and elevated section a plate fifty meters above ground. The upper plate is supported by a main column in the center of the city and an additional support colum located in each sector.[1] The upper city is primarily home to upper class citizens, while the lower portions consist of slums and lower class settlements. The lower class part of the city is also home to seedier establishments such as a brothel. The city is powered by eight mako reactors, one in each sector. There also appears to be a built-up ring outside the main perimiter of the city.
Kalm (カーム): A town northeast of Midgar, outside the wasteland surrounding it. It is primarily populated by former workers of the nearby Mythril Mine, which is no longer in service due to the appearance of monsters in the area. The town's residents greatly advocate Shin-Ra and the use of mako. It is believed that Kalm receives its electricity from Midgar.
Chocobo Farm (チョコボファーム): A rural farm that sells Chocobo equipment, such as Chocobo Lure Materia and greens, both of which are necessary to catch a Chocobo. Later, the farm can be used to breed Chocobos.
Mythril Mine (ミスリルマイン): A mine to the south of Kalm. It was once the location of Kalm's main industry, but has since been abandoned due to the appearance of monsters within and around the mine. The Midgar Zoloms in the swamp outside the mines are an example of the creatures that have taken up residence. The only way to cross these swamps quickly enough to avoid being attacked is by chocobo.
Fort Condor (コンドルフォート): A mountain-based fortress belonging to a rebel faction located on the lower east side of the eastern continent. The fort is named for the massive breed of condor that resides there. The mountain and the surrounding area have become polluted due to the use of a now-derelict mako reactor above the fortress. On top of the reactor sits a condor nest. At the time of Final Fantasy VII, Shinra is attempting to eliminate the rebels, remove the condor and seize the Huge Materia from within the reactor.
Junon (ジュノン): The second-largest city in the game, Junon sits along the west coast of the eastern continent. The surrounding terrain and ocean have become polluted due to continued operation of the city's undersea mako reactor. As a result, the fish in the adjacent sea have died out and the original village of Junon (located under the upper city's airport) is inhabited mostly by poorer citizens. The upper city is the location of Shinra's military headquarters, featuring an airport, submarine docks, and a powerful artillery cannon known as the the Junon Cannon.
Western continentCosta del Sol (コスタ・デル・ソル): A coastal resort town that also serves as the main port on the western continent. The player can purchase President Shinra's summer cottage here, though for a hefty sum.
Corel (コレル): Barret's hometown. Barret feels responsible for its destruction since he strongly supported building a mako reactor for the town. Shin-Ra troops razed the village after an alleged terrorist attack on the reactor facility.[2] Subsequently, Corel became the Desert Prison, and the Gold Saucer was built above it.
North Corel (北コレル): The town settled by the survivors of Shin-Ra's assault on Corel. In the latter half of the game, if the player fails to stop a speeding train carrying a Huge Materia, the town will be destroyed.
Gold Saucer (ゴールドソーサー): A towering amusement park built on Corel's ruins, financed and operated by Shin-Ra. Cait Sith joins the party here.
Gongaga (ゴンガガ): A small, desolate village ravaged by a mako reactor explosion.[3][4] Aerith Gainsborough's ex-boyfriend, the SOLDIER Zack, grew up here, and his parents still await his return, unaware of his fate. The name "Gongaga" bears a strong resemblance to Ginnungagap, a place in Norse Mythology between Niflheim and Muspelheim.
Cosmo Canyon (コスモキャニオン): Red XIII's birth place. It is a pilgrimage site for those who have an interest in the Study of Planet Life. Bugenhagen's observatory is here. The settlement on the canyon powers itself without mako reactors through the use of windmills.
Ancient Forest (古の森): An ancient forest near Cosmo Canyon. It is only accessible by a Green, Black, or Gold chocobo, or after destroying Ultimate WEAPON.
Nibelheim (ニブルヘイム): Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart's hometown. The Shinra Mansion located here was the research site for Jenova Project, and, although since abandoned, still contains much of Professor Gast and Hojo's research. Its basement, accessible by a secret passageway, contains the laboratory and research library. Presumably after Gast left the Jenova Project, it was used by Hojo to conduct many of his immoral experiments. Vincent Valentine is also discovered here by the party, slumbering in a coffin hidden in a locked room within the basement. The town was burned down and its residents slaughtered by Sephiroth after he discovered his origins and went insane, although the Shinra Mansion was spared by the fire. The destroyed town was subsequently rebuilt and staffed by Shin-Ra to cover up the incident.
Mount Nibel (ニブル山): The mountain overlooking Nibelheim, and the site of a mako reactor where Jenova was once housed along with several of Hojo's experiments.
Rocket Town (ロケット村): Cid Highwind's town of residence. This is the site of the first successful rocket launch into space.
Wutai (ウータイ): A country occupying a large island off the western-most continent, although the name is primarily used to refer to the only known settlement on the island. Yuffie Kisaragi is the princess of Wutai. Yuffie's father, Godo, led the city in a struggle for dominance against Shin-Ra but lost, and materia was banned in Wutai thereafter.[5][6] When the party first reaches the mountains that must be crossed to reach Wutai, Yuffie steals the party's collection of materia and retreats to her hometown, where both she and Elena of the Turks are kidnapped by crime boss Don Corneo. Wutai is apparently based upon pre-modern Japan and China, utilizing familiar motifs such as a pagoda (where Godo resides), and a large statue called "Da Chao," bearing the appearance of what appears to be Buddha and other related figures.
Northern continentBone Village (ボーンビレッジ Bōn Birajji): An excavation site where lost items such as the Lunar Harp are found. One of the items being excavated in an aircraft that bears a striking resemblence to an F-14 Tomcat, implying that the planet on which the events of Final Fantasy 7 take place is Earth, in the distant future.
Sleeping Forest (眠りの森 Nemuri no Mori): A forest next to the Bone Village. Without the Lunar Harp, the party will wander in the forest aimlessly.
Forgotten Capital (忘らるる都): Sometimes referred to as "the Ancient City," "the Forgotten City" or "the City of the Ancients." The city was the capital of the Cetra civilization, exhibiting such unusual structures as homes made from giant helical shells. A shrine exists hidden beneath the city, surrounded by water like a small isle. Aerith went to this shrine and attempted to call the spell known as "Holy" using the White Materia. Although successful, she was only barely so. Immediately after, she was killed upon the altar by Sephiroth. Later in the game, a projection device located on the surface that uses a screen of water shows the events of Aerith's death and reveals that the White Materia was activated before she died, meaning that Holy should have been moving to destroy Meteor. It was this revelation that brought about the discovery that Sephiroth was holding Holy back.[7]
Icicle Lodge (アイシクルロッジ Aishikuru Rojji): Aerith's birthplace. For a time, Professor Gast and Ifalna, an Ancient, lived in the town. The town functions as a resort because it snows year-round. The constant cold temperatures are not due to the location of the town, despite its polar position, but are actually because of the town's proximity to the Northern Crater, where the Planet channels a large amount of Spirit Energy in an effort to heal itself.[8] The town is called "Icicle Inn" in the original English localization of the game.
Great Glacier (大氷河 Daihyouga): A large glacier to the south of Gaea's Cliff. Few people venture that far north, and those who do get lost and pass out in the snow.
Gaea's Cliff (ガイアの絶壁 Gaia no Zeppeki): A huge cliff that leads to the Whirlwind Maze. The explorer Holzoff makes his home at its base and regularly patrols the Great Glacier for travelers who might need aid.
Whirlwind Maze (竜巻の迷宮 Tatsumaki no Meikyuu): A maze of small winding ledges of similar design that lead to the heart of the Northern Crater.
Northern Crater (北の大空洞 Kita no Daikuudou): Also called "the Northern Cave." The original impact site of Jenova. The WEAPONs slept under the ice here for thousands of years following their creation. The remaining portion of Sephiroth's body emerged here after traveling through the [Materia#The Lifestream|Lifestream] and became encased in a mako crystal. The crater is also the site of the Jenova Reunion and, later, the final battles of the game.
OtherMateria Caves (マテリア洞窟): Caves scattered around the world where the player can find very rare and valuable materia; chocobos are necessary to reach them.
Mideel (ミディール): A hot springs town attacked by Ultimate WEAPON and destroyed by a Lifestream eruption. Cloud appears here after falling into the Lifestream at the Northern Crater.
Temple of the Ancients (古代種の神殿): A large structure into which the Ancients transformed the Black Materia to prevent its use. Whoever wishes to turn the building back into the Black Materia must sacrifice his or her life by solving a series of puzzles that shrinks the temple back to its original size, crushing whoever is inside.[9]
Goblin Island (ゴブリンアイランド): An island northeast of Midgar. This is the only place where Goblins appear.
Promised Land (約束の地): A place sought after by the nomadic Cetra - a legacy briefly taken up by Sephiroth, who mistakenly believed himself to be an Ancient. Aerith tells Cloud that the Promised Land may not be a specific place, but the Shin-Ra believe otherwise and are intent on using Aerith to find it. Upon reaching the Northern Crater, Rufus Shinra comes to the conclusion that it is the Promised Land due to its vast quantity of natural mako. In actuality, both the game and the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega guidebook (an official Square-Enix publication) suggest that the Promised Land is no one specific place or thing, but rather something unique to each individual which brings that person supreme happiness.[10][11][12]
Cactus Island (サボテンアイランド): A tiny desert island southwest of Mideel. This island does not appear on the radar and is one of only two places in which Cactuar can be encountered in random battles, the other being the Corel desert (but the Cactuars encountered in the desert are a much weaker version giving more gold but Morphing into a much more common Hi-Potion).[/b]
