In the Squaresoft video game Final Fantasy VI, this term refers to the status of the world before Kefka unleashes the powers of the Statues. The World of Balance is full of life and beauty, in spite of the war between the Empire and resisting nations such as Doma . In terms of gameplay, the World of Balance is almost entirely linear, with few sidequests, and the story is loosely based around the character Terra Branford.
