Parm

Parm (パーム) is a small port town that is the home of Justin, Sue, Lilly, and Gantz.

Layout[]

The Port Town of Parm consists of two areas, one of them consisting of a north and south section that are divided by a bridge; this is the game's starting area. There is also a dock to the south; this is the second area of Parm. The hint at the Save Point in the dock says:

About the Compass - The compass at the top right of the screen has a red mark showing North. The compass needle points to the destination, spinning faster the closer you get to the destination. You can press the L2/R2 button to change the destination setting. Changing the destination setting makes the compass needle point to another entrance or exit of the dungeon. Remember that you cannot change the destination in town.

Location[]

Parm is located on the west coast of the continent of Messina, south-east of Marna Road.

History []

The town of Parm once resided as an old fishing village until it exploded into a metropolis upon the eve of an industrial revolution. The town now thrives both during the day and at night with the frequent trains and ships that bring in imports from other cities and locations. The city revolves around the various coal refining facilites and factories placed throughout it. It is also a place for various forms of entertainment, dining and exciting night life. The city remains in control of the Garlyle Forces, and almost everything is monitored by them.

The various townspeople are acquainted as the typical working class group, with the majority of the population made up of factory workers and laborers. The upper class often frequent the city for the occassional meal and bar sweeping, although most have now flocked across the sea to New Parm in search of new opportunities. Most are sea families with a lot of the men working as sailors which only come home during certains times of the year.

The architecture is steeped in industry, with most houses made of metal and hardly any vegetation to be seen anywhere. The port allows access to both water and fish as the primary source of food. although the majority of the food is exported.

In the epilogue of the game, the town becomes revamped and more culturally diverse. There is noticably more flora and fauna and and other people of the world have emigrated to the city. Trade continues to boom and flourish.
