there's also no transitional maps at all, Forest to insta desert, desert to insta ocean is just one example.
You know... I've always wondered... there have been a few deserts that lead to the ocean in FF games... does that ever happen naturally? I'd think the proximity to water would cause some type of plant life to grow....
FFVI had deserts but the landscape became green as you approached the water
Same with corel desert in FFVII
FFVIII had a few deserts that lead right into the ocean as did FFIX....
FFX had the Al Bhed home island that did this... but if I recall from playing the cactuar game, there was a little shrubbery near the water... I think....
I think Dalmasca had to have bordered water directly at some point in FFXII
Seems like more than just a few bushes would grow though, if you bordered the ocean
