Location names and attempted translations from...

Final Fantasy VI

These lists are dumped straight from the ROMs.

And caps lock rears its ugly head again. I'm not sure why they decided to capitalize every letter of every location.

チョコボ屋 Chocobo Stable CHOCOBO STABLE

Literally just another shop, but "stable" fits better.

長老の家 Elder's House ELDER'S HOUSE
武闘家ダンカンの家 Duncan the Martial Artist's House DUNCAN'S HOUSE

Though the term is uncommon in the Final Fantasy series, 武闘家 (butou ka) regularly appears in Dragon Quest games as the equivalent of what Final Fantasy normally terms a Monk (モンク).

封魔壁監視所 Mystic Barricade Lookout IMPERIAL BASE

While this is a base, it's a base with a specific purpose, though it's never made clear whether the watch is more to keep people out or to ambush any Genjuu that might attempt to leave the area.

封魔壁 Mystic Barricade SEALED GATE
サマサの村 Village of Thamasa THAMASA
竜の首コロシアム Dragon's Head Coliseum COLOSSEUM

Alternately, Dragon's Neck Coliseum, but either way, the name suggests a decapitated dragon. The landmass where the coliseum stands also bears a resemblance to a dragon's head, perhaps inspiring its name.

ダリルの墓・地下1階 Daryl's Tomb B1F DARILL'S TOMB/B1
魔大陸 Mystic Continent THE FLOATING LAND

Never displayed that I'm aware of, but there's nothing in the name to indicate that it's floating, just supernatural.

幻獣の村 Town of the Genjuu ESPERVILLE

Also never displayed. Personally, I think Esperville sounds more like it belongs in a theme park, though.
