FromSoftware may be most well-known for their brutally hard Soulsborne games that feature a variety of terrifying monsters and creatures, but believe it or not, they do also have a few games which are just a little more lighthearted. Aside from their tight and focused gameplay, FromSoftware also excels at creating big and captivating worlds for the player to explore, and while a lot of them are far too dangerous to live in, there are still some that wouldn't be all that bad.
In order to make a story engaging, there's always going to be some sort of danger that keeps the plot moving, but so long as the threat isn't too great, and there are methods or groups to keep them under control, then being able to live a relatively peaceful life is still achievable in these video game worlds listed below.
Zelda: 6 Worst Worlds To Live In
Whilst The Legend of Zelda holds many fantasy elements that fans would love to live in, there exist some worlds where they'd want to stay away.
5 Another Century's Episode
Being Able To Space-Hop Between Planets Would Be A Dream Come True For Many People
This is specifically referring to the first game, as the sequel and Episode: R are a lot darker in their stories. With the original though, while there are definitely a few shortcomings which could make the world a pretty unpleasant place to live, the opportunity to live in a colony on Mars, or even venture further into space, would be a real dream come true for many people.
As for Earth itself, the governments actually managed to come together and form their own alliance in the first game, and while there are definitely a few problems that could spawn from this, it also makes the planet a much more peaceful area to live. The energy crisis and dangerous rebel groups would definitely still be anxiety-inducing, but considering this is a FromSoft game, these issues would come to be expected.
4 Enchanted Arms
Enchanted Arms Features A Gigantic And Fascinating Fantasy World
The world of Enchanted Arms is another one that is most certainly full of dangers, especially if the mysterious Special Ward were to be opened, but so long as no chaos erupts, then it would be a pretty enjoyable place to live. What would really make this world so enjoyable is the amount of freedom granted to people to decide who they want to be. For example, at the beginning of the game, it's shown that Atsuma and his friends are studying hard to become mystical Enchanters, which would be a very exciting profession to take on.
Final Fantasy: 7 Worst Worlds To Live In
The Final Fantasy series is home to many beautiful worlds, but not all of them are good places to settle down in.
Despite clearly being rooted in the fantasy genre, the world also features several real-world cities, such as Yokohama and London, so seeing the new iterations of these well-known areas would be very exciting, and a real feast for the eyes. The world of Enchanted Arms can get pretty hectic at times, but for the most part, it's very pleasant and massive in its scale.
3 Eternal Ring
Eternal Ring's World Is Very Peaceful, As Long As The Residents Stay Away From "The Island"
Whilst the story of Eternal Ring isn't the main focus of the game itself, with the gameplay and innovative Ring system being front-and-center, there are still several indications as to how the world works, and what state it is currently in. The game is clearly set in a fantasy world, and it's evident from Cain's dream near the beginning of the story that there was once a time when the nations were invading one another, but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
The land itself seems fairly safe and normal, but there are still a few mysteries that add a lot of intrigue to the world, such as the mysterious "island" which is rumored to possess unseen powers and creatures. Luckily, this means that all the terrifying ghouls and goblins are far away from the mainland, so all in all, it wouldn't be a bad place to live in for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of a fantasy world in peace.

- Genre(s)

Murakumo is based in the year 2090 where humans have discovered a brand-new energy source which they have used to construct new cities and areas for populations to thrive. The world itself seems very futuristic, and like a very decent place to live, the only issue is that an ARK rebel mech would be flying overhead every now and again to try and cause a disturbance.
8 Best Mech RTS Games
For players who can't get enough RTS games involving mechs, here are some great games that they should consider trying.
The good news is, the special forces' mechs are so advanced in this game that they can quite easily deal with any ARKs that have decided to rebel against their masters, ensuring they don't deal any collateral damage. The people might just want to be a little more careful with how they utilize this newfound energy, but as long as that remains in check, the world of Murakumo would actually be a very interesting and fun one to live in.
1 The Adventures Of Cookie & Cream
This Fun, Vibrant, And Exciting Game World Is A Stark Contrast From FromSoft's Other Games
The Adventures of Cookie & Cream
- Platform(s)
- PS2
- Released
- April 30, 2001
- Genre(s)
- Puzzle , Adventure
It might come as a surprise to see a game as vibrant and colorful as this one being developed by the same people behind Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but The Adventures of Cookie & Cream actually received very positive reviews when it was released back in 2001. The reason this world sticks out so much is because of just how upbeat and lively it is, with the extremely bright and expressive colors lending a lot of personality to the world and its animals.
There's also a very big emphasis on festivals in the story too, and how important they can be to a community or a group, with the implication being that these sorts of get-togethers happen on a very frequent basis, which is a very exciting prospect. Unlike literally every other one of FromSoftware's games, there's no existential danger or looming threat on the horizon in this game. Instead, the world seems calm, peaceful, and a joy to live in for the most part, and it would undoubtedly be the destination of choice for anyone who had to choose between FromSoftware's game worlds.
