Shifting Sand Land: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

*** The area around Bastok is also a badlands type area (described ingame as a desert), but doesn't fit the strict "endless sand dunes" definition.

** Pretty much the whole start of ''[[Final Fantasy XII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XII]]'' is a Shifting Sand Land. The first town of Rabanastre is in the middle of the desert, and the first three zones outside the town are two deserts and a flood plain in the middle of the dry season... that happens to be named "Giza". Later in the game there is also the Ogir-Yensa and Nam-Yensa Sandseas, primarily featuring a series of decrepit oil rigs and home to a race of humanoid arthropods who happen to carry scimitars and dress like bedouin.

** The Lynari Desert in ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]'' is extremely large and requires purposefully sinking in quicksand in order to access the rest of the map. There are [[When Trees Attack|cactuar]], [[Snake People|lamia]], and scorpion enemies. In single player mode, the moogle companion is easily tired in the extreme heat of the desert.

* ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]]'' has a desert, where it eventually DOES become too hot for the group and they start taking damage unless they rest at an oasis. And the oases are magically hidden, to boot - you have to use a spell to see them.
