"Cozy atmosphere" What's the first game that comes to mind?
- Thread starter CannonFodder52
- Start date
Most of these have all been mentioned but it's worth repeating:
- Dali from FF9
- Animal Crossing winter and rainy days
- Spyro 2's Summer Forest
- Pokémon HGSS, specifically the National Park, Goldenrod City, Olivine City, and more
- Frontier Village from Xenoblade 1, Torigoth and Leftheria from Xenoblade 2

First one that comes to mind is Traverse Town. Feels like a cozy night out. Music probably has a lot to do with it.
FEZ and Secret of Mana mainly for me, but also because they're both very tied to a feeling of nostalgia (which I often associate with cozy).
And lately Read Dead Redemption 2 has that covered handesomely as well.

For me it's Skyrim, when you enter Riverwood for the first time.
That place is just oozing with comfort and cozyness. The Soundtrack, the sound of the river, of the mill, the sound of the blacksmith hammering on his anvil. The Beautiful forest, the snow covered peaks, the northern ruins you can see off in the distance… Such an atmospheric world Bethesda has crafted. I hope they can deliver that same feeling with TES VI, I really do.

Haha. Good to see another fan!
Enjoy dobuita this holiday!
My mind went immediately to Octopath Traveler.
Same! Also the snowy areas of the game!
I agree completely. They may be brutally difficult games at times, but still manage to have a cozy atmosphere a lot of the time. Yuzo Koshiro's music really makes all the difference.
Even the title screens for the games really set the tone. I love the animation in EO3 when you let it idle for a minute.
Most of the other games which came to mind have already been mentioned by now.
That's easily fixed:

This is one I really want to play, alongside the My Summer Vacation games.Attack of the Friday Monsters, an amazing game that makes you feel nostalgia for a childhood you never even had.
Made by the My Summer Vacation people and released on the 3DS, I'd kill for a Switch port.
Cmon Level 5, port it and the other Guild games!
and just trails games in general really
mostly due to the slow pace I play them at talking to all the npcs etc
Twilight Town from KH2's intro.
I say the intro because they use a different theme when you play as Sora. With Roxas, you get this theme:
Incredible song, so comfy and relaxing. Fits the mood completely of a town seeped in sunset. Ugh its too good.
Rainy days in Anmal Crossing are alo up there for me. Can't wait for NH. HD AC on the big screen, lights dimmed down, can't wait.

Definitely Tarrey Town.
A good mood.
Everything from the quest that leads to this town, how you have so much impact over it, the music, the eventual inhabitants. Ultimate cozy vibes.
Speaking of the OST. One thing I love is that the OST evolves with different instruments being added to it as each inhabitant arrives to the little village.

Star Ocean First Departure R. When the mom brought the tea in the intro I was dying of hominess.
I was just coming to post the same thing!
Shenmue as well. I'll never forget the first time I virtually walked the streets of Ryo's home town.
I'll go with Hateno Village in BOTW. It was the first settlement I found & it felt like home. Buying a house there just cemented it.
Some of the inns/taverns in the Witcher 3, especially when you come in out of a rainy night and you can see the rain and dark and the lightning through the windows.
Most recently Hateno Village from BOTW. I genuinely thought to myself "if a place like this existed I'd like to retire there".
Vagrant Story's workshops are my second choice. Visually comforting and splendid music.

No Ace Attorney yet, six pages in!?
That game has the most indescribable "home-y" atmosphere to its lighter moments, a similar feeling to watching a lighthearted Christmas movie like Home Alone. Like a world that doesn't know the terrible things and only has to worry about low-stakes problems. Which is really ironic, considering every actual trial in the game is a murder case.

Calinca (Yosyonke City) Megaman Legends 2
It always makes me think of January and playing outside in the snow. Especially the battle music for some reason lol

Couple of places which I found exceedingly cozy (and spent tens of hours in total):
Normandy (SR1 and SR2):
Citadel:
They felt like home.
Yea, I can get behind this.

Yup, the art style makes places that would look disgusting in real life look good and homey.
