Talk:Astral Village/@comment-24377671-20140106100723

Astral Village is the starting zone of the Japanese version, there's a different Astral Village for each Zodiac sign, and it's a place you return to when you unlock your Astrolabe through the original quest line as well.

Needless to say, the English versions use a completely different quest line for the initial setup, the NPC locations have all changed to reduce travel time. I guess it was unneccesary to keep?

Half good and half bad they don't force us to take the Thereall City Cable Cars up to the top of the tower just to get there like in the original...
