In the underworld, some mountain ranges can be found, and notoriously, airships can land on some of them (however, characters may not find a passage to the base levels). However, in the [[Red Moon]], due to the rough terrain filled with craters, the ''[[Lunar Whale]]'' must normally land atop mountain ranges and the party must walk to other locations.

Mt Gulg - WM

Mount Gulg from Final Fantasy is one of the most iconic mountains in the series, even though it's a volcano.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance icon. Mountains (, Yama?) are a recurring type of location found throughout the Final Fantasy series, starting with Final Fantasy III. They usually appear as Dungeons that serve as passages between areas, normally stalled by a Boss Battle. Caves are almost always found at mountain ranges.

Mountains appear in every game with an Overworld, and there they work as a barrier for the characters, since they are generally impassable by anything other than an airship.

Appearances

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Final Fantasy

Mount Duergar and Mount Gulg are two mountains explored in the original Final Fantasy, but despite their names, the explored areas are actually caves underneath the mountains.

Final Fantasy II

Palamecia - WM

Palamecia Castle, the Emperor's base is unreachable by foot.

Castle Palamecia is located atop a mountain range, rendering it inaccessible by anything other than a flying airship. It is later replaced by the infernal palace of Pandaemonium, which can't be reached by an airship. A special passage must be crossed instead.

Final Fantasy III

The Dragon's Peak is the very first location that is actually a mountain. Like its name implies, Dragons are a common sight at its summit.

In Final Fantasy III, however, airships cannot fly over mountains, and the Invincible can only fly over smaller mountains such as the ones found in the mountain range near the Cave of Shadows, which no other airship can.

Final Fantasy IV

FF4 PSP Mt Ordeals

Mt. Hobs is a mountain located in a route between Damcyan and Fabul. Mount Ordeals is a mystical mountain located east of Mysidia.

In the underworld, some mountain ranges can be found, and notoriously, airships can land on some of them (however, characters may not find a passage to the base levels). However, in the Red Moon, due to the rough terrain filled with craters, the Lunar Whale must normally land atop mountain ranges and the party must walk to other locations.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-

Mt. Hobs is the only accessible mountain in this game.

Again, in the overworld, Airships can fly over mountains, but flying fauna such as Black Chocobos and Wind Drakes cannot.

South Gate

The South Gate is composed of a great airship tunnel at the top, and a ferry service on the ground.

In Gaia, the Mist Continent is the most hilly area; it has several areas of high altitude, which are where the greatest settlements can be found. This is due to the nefarious Mist that overruns the lower areas of the Mist Continent. In Disc 3, Gaia is purged of Mist, but in Disc 4, Mist returns, this time to cover the entire planet.

However, three mountains appear as locations in this game:

Final Fantasy X

Mt. Gagazet is a sacred mountain range, and homeland of the Ronso. It also features a series of caverns and springs, along with ferocious fiends. It is the final test of a summoner's pilgrimage before reaching Zanarkand Ruins.
