Can be in any capacity. Integral to the game, part of the background, whatever. There is just something fucking awesome / comfy / mysterious about floating islands. I can't get enough of that shit.

Baten Kaitos' setting is floating islands, with a damn nice hand painted aesthetic too.

Really appreciate the replies guys. If you wouldn't mind, it would be helpful if you could pinpoint specifically in the game where these are found. I'm looking at let's plays to find the bits where these occur.
Skyward sword the whole hub seems to be a floating island and you use it as a base of operations to fly down to the ground level, which is awesome. Terraria I'm not familiar with but it seems like you make your own floating islands like minecraft? Need to check the others out.

Oh, another one I guess would be Airships: Conquer the Skies. Not a terrible game and the gist is that there's "suspendium" ore inside floating islands which is what you use to build airships. Star flag OP because torpedoes.

I'll never understand this. It just looks like the generic Mineycrafta but floating and multi-layered.

Final Fantasy XIV. The Heavensward expansion had several main maps that are floating islands.

I understand it's something promised, but never received. But I don't understand why it's important. The fat Swedish fuck didn't add it in, but it wasn't revolutionary either, and looked as if it would play exactly the same as regular Moincroft.

Aion's world is an inside-out planet which got split into two. The bottom half has the "good goys" player faction, the top half has the "bad goys" player faction, and the pillar in the middle that connected the two but got shattered into flaotland by dragon jews is called the Abyss.
Plenty of area's in the game have some floating bits in them, but the main highlight of the game is the Abyss, which is all floating islands. It's the only zone players from both factions can easily go to (and engage in PvP), but the main feature of the game, conquering and defending fortresses, also takes place here. Aion also gives players the ability to fly for a limited duration, so you don't have to worry about slipping off either.

Another "Games with X" template thread. I wonder how many people actually play a game because it has X in it. In this case, "I really want to play a game that has floating islands in it." Or maybe it's, "hayyyy geiz I am bored and lonely give me a bunch of (you)'s"

First is on Vita and remastered on PS4. Second is PS4 only. First isn't exactly floating islands outside of Rifts though, as the parts of the city are anchored to the World Pillar to hold them aloft. Second has more actual islands, but also plenty of artificial ones, though they function much more as untethered locations that float.

But it doesn't though because of the additional challenge of simply getting places, at least for the first time when you need to make bridges, ladders, and all other manner of vertical and horizontal translation systems. Add in some autism for redstone elevators (just because you can). Now factor in creepers that if you make shitty thin bridges, can disrupt your transport networks. Now you need a way to keep the creepers off of your tracked bridges, etc.
It simply adds an actual and fun goal for the player above GO TO SPOOKY DIMENSION KILL DRAGON. IIRC correctly there was a mod called Aether that added a dimension that was kinda like FLAOT and also had lots of stuff in it.

Amplified world type is pretty neat but I agree.

Maybe it changes some small things like that, but it's not very extensive. Floating islands should have different content than regular terrestrial land. The Aether was pretty good for this though, because it added a shit tonne of new things.

The newest version lets you create floating islands with a world-gen option called Buffet. You can also make cave worlds, hell worlds and single-biome worlds.
