Twilight Town: Difference between revisions

Twilight Town is composed of two districts, Market Street and Sunset Terrace. The town is surrounded by {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Woods}}'''|町はずれの森|Machihazure no Mori|lit. "Forest on the Outskirts of Town"}}, a large forest that also hides [[DiZ]]'s headquarters, the [[Old Mansion]]. The Woods can only be accessed through a crack in the walls of Tram Common.

Underneath the town is a vast {{nihongo|'''{{a|Underground Concourse}}'''|地下連絡通路|Chika Renraku Tsūro}}, localized as '''{{a|Underground Passage}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', which has several entrances in Market Street. One exit leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tunnelway}}'''|トンネル|Tonneru|lit. "Tunnel"}}, retaining its original name of '''{{a|Tunnel}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', which in turn leads to Sunset Terrace.

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Market Street}}'''|商店街|Shōten Machi}} is easily the largest area of Twilight Town, and is what is most commonly referred to as Twilight Town itself. Market Street is a long, winding, steeply-sloped road that leads from the lower areas of the city to Central Station. The upper portion of the street is known as {{nihongo|'''{{a|Station Heights}}'''|駅前通り|Ekimaedōri|lit. "Station Road"}}. There are a few shops at Station Heights, including an item shop run by [[Wantz]].

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Central Station}}'''|セントラルステーション|Sentoraru Sutēshon}} is a large train station that lies at the summit of Market Street, just past the Station Plaza. Its trains lead all over the world, including other districts of the city and the beach, and there is even a magic train that travels to the nearby world of [[Mysterious Tower]]. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Station Plaza}}'''|駅前広場|Ekimae Hiroba}} itself is a large, open terrace, presided over by the town's distinctive Clock Tower, which, though a twelve-hour clock, has "I" at the top instead of "XII".

The lower portion of Market Street is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tram Common}}'''|トラム広場|Toramu Hiroba|lit. "Tram Square"}}, an open-market area with a free tram circling around. Many shops are found here, including the [[w:c:finalfantasy:Jessie|accessory shop]] run by [[Jessie]] and [[w:c:finalfantasy:Biggs|armor shop]] run by [[Biggs]], and a synthesis shop owned by Elmina the Moogle. In the Simulated Twilight Town, this is a candy shop instead. It appears to be the location of many homes as well. Both parts of Market Street connect to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sandlot}}'''|空き地|Akichi|lit. "Vacant Lot"}}, the area where the infamous [[Struggle]] battles take place, and to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Back Alley}}'''|路地裏|Rojiura}}, localized as '''{{a|Side Street}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', and [[Hayner]]'s gang's hideout, {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Usual Spot}}'''|いつもの場所|Itsumo no Basho}}, called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Under the Tracks}}'''|高架下|Kōka-ka|lit. "Underpass"}} in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. {{nihongo|'''{{a|Roxas's Room}}'''|ロワサスの部屋|Rokusasu no Heya}} in the [[simulated Twilight Town]] lies above The Usual Spot.

Another district of the town, {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Terrace}}'''|サンセット住宅街|Sansetto Jūtakugai|lit. "Sunset Residential Area"}}, can be reached by taking the train at Central Station to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Station}}'''|サンセットステーション|Sansetto Sutēshon}}. Connecting to Sunset Terrace is {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Hill}}'''|サンセットヒル|Sansetto Hiru}}, where Roxas spots the mysterious Ghost Train on the fifth day. Sunset Terrace is eventually joined to the Market Street areas through the Underground Concourse, which finally opens the last time [[Sora]] and his party visit Twilight Town.
