Village of the Ancients

Overview

Village of the Ancients (古代人の村 [kodaijin no mura] or 'village of the ancient people' in Japanese) is a small but widely spread village inhabited by the ancients in Final Fantasy III. It is located on the south-western edge of the floating continent, beyond a sprawling forest where chocobos live.

The Village of the Ancients is an optional location that can give you a lot of new goodies to play with, at least if you have the gil to buy them.
