So in many RPGs, especially old school RPGs, you often come across between one or all of these types of towns: Desert town, snow town, technologically advanced town, mining town, thieves town, magic city that may or may not float in the air, ninja (Japan based) town, lost city, port town, casino town.
Which is your favorite to come across?
Mine is the snow town. I always liked walking around in snow areas in video games because it often looks different from the rest of the map. And it's fun to watch your characters walk around in little outfits and not freeze to death.

This is so true. Even though they are cliched, I do love them all. Each game I can think of has one as it's been said and they all have their distinctive flavour.
There's always a sense of inner warmth in these types of towns as people are all piled into the little houses by the fire. Despite the elements the people are always having a fun time xD
They always add some sort of extra depth to the story--either learning from NPCs what happened to make it lost, or just having to guess, is always interesting. There are a lot of port towns and mining towns, but I don't think they're as cliche as they are necessary, though--people seem to travel a lot by sea and use metallic weapons etc. in a lot of the FF worlds, so it makes sense to have those kinds of towns I think.
