Line 81:
** ''Fable 3'' has it's map with the east at the top, and shows a little of a new continent beyond the western ocean of Albion.
* Averted in ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' series with the exception of ''Daggerfall''. In all of the other games in the series, the playable world is either surrounded by water on all sides, or almost completely landlocked.
** The Elder Scrolls has a "correct" orientation for Tamriel, so whether a given game in the series fits the trope depends entirely on where the country is. [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]], for reference, is in the north.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]: Majora's Mask'' has the ocean located on the western side of the map. No relation to Japan, which is an island.
** Inverted with the original ''Zelda'', where the ocean is to the east and south. Same goes for ''Zelda 2'', which even features another Hylian continent beyond the ocean.
Line 91:
** ''Warband'' expansion retconned the geography, now making the game play this trope straight to some extent: the sea covers both the north and the west, and the cold area is still on the east.
* ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'', where Ivalice is surrounded by ocean at the North, South, and West, but the continent (and the neighboring nation of Ordallia) continues eastward indefinitely.
** Averted in the other Ivalice games. In ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', Ivalice (this time a region in the same world) resembles a horizontally-flipped Mediterranean, while in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics
* In the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series, Tellius (''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'') is left-justified. The majority of the maps in the series have ocean on all sides, however.
* Justified in ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''Fallout 2'''s westcoast-based setting, since the available speed of transportation and danger of long distance travel left out-of-state travel out of reach for most.
