Phantasy Worlds You Would (Not) Like To Live In

[kyonides]

Since we are all somehow connected by any game making software, music, videos, etc. I will assume we all would have wished at least once we would like to live in any specific fictious world(s) or you would avoid visiting at all costs unless duty called us.

In my case it would be kind of hard to choose or reject any world but it wouldn't be impossible to do that. For example, I would hate to live in a Pokemon world. The main reason behind it would be I can hardly stand the sight of monsters, especially if I'm forced to share a world with such nasty creatures without any chance to get permission to kill or exterminate them.

As a side note I would like to tell you that in the Ultimate Spider-Man (Web of Warriors) animated series, the scripters make Gamora say that she hates being on Earth whenever the Guardians of the Galaxy are drawn to our planet to face any menace that could cause huge damage to the planet biosphere.

Hmm I can't really say in which fantasy world I would love to live in...
There are just too many beautiful worlds out there.

But I think I would chose the world of Baten Kaitos. A floating world above an eternal ocean with so many wonderful places to visit. I could imagine to live there in a quite little village on the Sadal Suud island. Yes, If I had to choose I would take this one.

On the other side I would never visit any of those post apocalyptic worlds (Fallout for example). They are fascinating in their own way but living there? No. They are hostile to life and way too depressing.

Agreed - post apocalytic worlds are cool in theory but sucky in practice.

I'd love to live in the world you can glimpse in Iain M. Banks' sci-fi novels, "The Culture". They're a super advanced almost utopian civilisation. Very nice prospects...
Humans live for 400 years then they can choose to become machines. Resources are not lacking at all. Money does not exist because nobody wants for anything. The hard work is done by dumb machines while "Minds", incredibly smart, sapient machines, roam the universe and research to continue to advance the civilisation.
Humans can still do jobs such as teaching, art/writing/music etc and other humanities, travel, building and design, meeting other civilisations, all that. Still plenty to do.

So exciting. :3

Lemme start off first with a HELL NO!

LV-426.  If the name doesn't seem familiar, how about the the phrases of facehugger or xenomorph?  Yes, I am talking the inhospitably barren planet of ALIEN and the main setting of ALIENS.  You can't breathe worth a dang outside, and inside...  Well, a dozen marines armed with machine guns, grenade launchers, flame throwers and explosives didn't last long.  And not an apple tree or decent fishing pond to be found.

Now where to reside will be hard, because many of my favorite fantasy animes exist in worlds that 'could' end... completely.  Buuut... If I had to choose, I guess it would be the Kingdom of Seiruun within the Mazoku barrier.  Yes, I'm going with the fantasy world of The Slayers where my avatar originated.  Seiruun is supposed to be the white magic capital, has no enemies of any sort, no poverty at all, and the best self-service ice cream.  I did not make that up.  And there's the whole chance to learn magic.

....mmmmaybe Zephilia to the north for the annual wine festival, and it looks like an IRC member's home town.

But...

Slayers' Spoiler

the Mazoku barrier was already destroyed by Lina Inverse after she launched a Dragon Slave that vanished the East Section of Seiruun capital city. You would no longer be protected by anything...

If talking about Slayers I would never want to live in Sairaag, especially if Rezo or Rezzo were staying there. Things would just end up badly, enough to prevent anyone from escaping...

Anywhere there could the Shrike from Hyperion :)

There are no world I wouldn't want to live in transiently. True to my title, I'd much rather spend eternity traveling out of and between universes.
