Bodhum

From FFTogether

Bodhum is a seaside town situated in Cocoon that is home to many of the main characters. Lightning, Snow, Serah and the Resistance Group known as NORA reside here. Bodhum is a famous town for it's firework display that occurs annually. The town secretly houses the Pulse Vestige which carries the Pulse fal'Cie Anima along with Oerba Dia Vanille and Oerba Yun Fang. When the Vestige is discovered by the Sanctum, the lives of everybody living in Bodhum changes and everyone who was in the town at the time when the vestige was discovered was purged. The town is usually guarded by the Guardian Corps which Lightning works for until she forfeits her job to go save her sister.

Bodhum is not a accessible area, and only appears in flashbacks throughout the game.

The modest city by the sea is the hometown of Lightning and Serah, as well as that of Snow and the members of NORA. Known for its relaxing, resort-like atmosphere, the location is a popular destination for vacationers. Bodhum's largest tourist draw is its annual beachfront fireworks display, but this year's event was ruined by the discovery of the Pulse fal'Cie within the nearby Vestige. The Sanctum quarantined the city on the day after the discovery, announcing its plan to Purge Bodhum's entire population, along with the hapless tourists, to Pulse.
