Setting
Shibuya is the newest of the five cities on the Japanese server and was created with the intention of dispersing some of the players in Akiba. As a result, Shibya lacks a Guild Meeting Hall, Bank, and Market, as guilds use the facilities of the other four cities instead. Heavily dependent on the transport gates, the city was essentially paralyzed after the Catastrophe. Many of the Adventurers based there left for Akiba, and very few remain.
Players generally have to pass through seven or eight zones to travel from Akiba to Shibya. The shortest route traverses four zone, but the way is arduous.
