A small town on the southern coast of the island, not far from the Garden itself. Being a humid town on the coast, it is not surprising why residents must re-paint everything annually. Zell Dincht lived here with his adoptive parents. Trains travel between Balamb Town and Timber, through the use of an underground transcontinental railroad underneath the ocean.

A coastal town on the northern arm of the continent, the last remnants of the empire founded by the Centrans who migrated west after the destruction of Centra. Dollet was formerly the capital of the continent until Galbadia rose to power. Squall Leonhart, Seifer Almasy, Zell Dincht, and Selphie Tilmitt are taken here for their final SeeD examination: a live combat situation in which they are tasked to perform flush-and-hold operations while experienced SeeDs fight off an invasion from the Galbadian military. The streets of Dollet somewhat resemble those of various East European cities.

A coastal town near the eastern edge of the continent. It was formerly an independent state, until it was invaded and occupied by Galbadia eighteen years prior to the start of the game. Many of the town's residents still oppose the occupation in the present day, and have formed various resistance groups. Rinoa Heartilly is a member of one of these resistance groups, the Forest Owls. However, throughout the game, Timber's independence is not realized nor is it known when it will be. The town's most noteworthy feature is its T.V. station, which retains its radio broadcasting systems in spite of radio communication being impossible (a result of global noise interference beginning with Esthar's silence following the Sorceress War). Timber's TV station is the only TV station in the world that can handle broadcasts over the air (via radio waves). All other TV stations use HD cable, which only supports online broadcasts. It is here that President Vinzer Deling of the Republic of Galbadia first announces his nation's alliance with Sorceress Edea.

The largest Garden, located near the centre of the continental landmass. Originally operated by a man named Martine, Sorceress Edea chose Galbadia Garden as her base of operations when she took power over the Galbadian Military forces. Galbadia Garden has the same flight capability as Balamb Garden. Galbadia Garden can only be visited by Squall's party during two events in the game: when it is a building and still under the Garden scheme's control, and again when it is an airship and under the control of Edea. The final major playable character, Irvine Kinneas, joins the party from Galbadia Garden at the end of the first visit. After Edea withdrew from power, and Sorceress Ultimecia had Seifer take control, the Garden seemingly disappears from existence, nowhere to be found on the map and with the only trace being the crater left over by the former edifice state of the Garden. It can be presumed however that like Balamb Garden, as seen in the end, it roams the world with the remainder of its surviving students.

Capital of the Republic of Galbadia and named after President Vinzer Deling. Deling City is the largest and most technologically advanced population center outside of Esthar, and is always experiencing nighttime (at least during the game). The city has a relaxed, slightly decadent atmosphere, with several examples of architectural beauty. One of these is the triumphal arch at Deling Plaza, located at the centre of the city, the scene of the failed assassination attempt on Sorceress Edea.

A quiet village near the continent's southern tip. Laguna Loire moved here after leaving the Galbadian army, and began a relationship with a local woman who helped him recover from his injuries, Raine. It is greatly hinted, though not explicitly said, that he fathered Squall Leonhart while living here, though events drew him away before the child was born. Raine died during childbirth and is buried in a field of flowers located next to the village. Ellone also lived in Winhill, before being captured by Esthar soldiers. Esthar's invasion of Winhill led to Galbadian soldiers occupying the village in order to protect the citizens from further attacks.

The smallest of the three Gardens, located in the northern polar regions of the eastern continent. Selphie Tilmitt studied at this academy before being transferred to Balamb Garden. It is later partially destroyed by Galbadian missiles.

The capital metropolis of the technologically advanced and isolationist country of the same name. At the end of the first Sorceress War, the people of Esthar withdrew from world affairs. They used their advanced technology to erect an immense dome over the entire city, rendering it completely invisible to the outside. Esthar's technology has also led to the creation of the transportation of very high speeds throughout the city and three levels of roads (including the monster-infested highway at the top). Laguna Loire's world travels eventually led him to Esthar, where events transpired to leave him president of the city-state after the confinement of Sorceress Adel. Later on in the game, the city (along with the entire continent for that matter) is consumed by the Lunar Cry and infested with even more powerful monsters. Whether or not Esthar will share the same fate as Centra remained unclear.

A village located underground in an environmentally-controlled facility. It is located on a small island on the northernmost area of the planet. This island is named Winter Island, and is, at first glance, deserted. The village is inhabited by the Shumi, a people who oddly resemble squids. The Shumi are very technologically advanced, as they have their own "biodome" contained underneath the frigid northern continents. Laguna Loire recovered here after being injured during his search for Ellone. This is also the homeplace of the Moombas, the orange cat-like creatures who help Squall Leonhart out during his escape from the D-District Prison in Galbadia.
