FFVIII Info Corner
Balamb (バラム, Baramu?) is a country in Final Fantasy VIII. According to the Final Fantasy VIII Ultimania, Balamb used to be part of the Holy Dollet Empire, but since becoming autonomous, it has remained calm and peaceful. Balamb is mainly accessed by boats, although it is also connected to the Galbadian continent by underwater train, which offers a service from the town to Timber.
The island's sole town, Balamb Town, itself is surrounded by Balamb Island's varied landscapes, including sandy beaches, thick forests, and mountainous regions. It is also the hometown of Zell Dincht. Although shown as a peaceful area, it is captured by Galbadian troops under the control of Seifer. It is quickly liberated by SeeD.
