Fishermans Horizon

Fisherman's Horizon, occasionally abbreviated FH, is a location in Final Fantasy VIII. It is located midway between the eastern and western continents aside the large intercontinental bridge. The town is filled with fishermen and skilled mechanics. Some of these mechanics helped build Balamb Garden. The town is neutral, so fighting is not allowed.

Story
When Balamb Garden crashes into Fisherman's Horizon, Mayor Dobe, fearing that the SeeDs will start trouble, orders them to leave. He lets his mechanics work on Balamb Garden to make it fully controllable. However, some Galbadian soldiers come into FH to ask about Ellone. Mayor Dobe tries to reason with them, but is threatened. Squall and the others fight the Galbadians, who deploy the Iron Clad to deal with them. After its defeat, Selphie and her teammates, who hid inside it after the mission at the Missile Base, climb out of it.

Later on in the game, Squall and some party members use the long since abandoned railway that connects to Galbadia to cross to Esthar.

Location
Fisherman's Horizon, while located in the center of the ocean between the Galbadian Continent and Esthar Continent, is connected to the continents via a railroad that has long since fallen into missuse.
