You're in the Balamb Garden entrance hall. The place looks a little unfinished, but it's starting to take shape.

There's a noticeboard here on which updates are posted. There's also a guestbook, in case you'd like to say something about this site.

• I'll run in circles around the corridors.
• Is that an elevator over there?
• I'll go clockwise and visit the infirmary.
• I'll head anticlockwise and see if the library is open.
• I guess I'll go back to the entrance.
