Scope of the desert [maybe spoiler?]

[pikaporeon]

Well, we all know the desert is really.. really... big. I was curious if any of the developers would actually share just how vast it is / what it's actually shaped like. Is it a big rectangle? is there a point where we just get randomly generated screens? So much curiousity for such a tedious area.

[random]

what about that ?

[pikaporeon]

That image isn't totally loyal to the actual game though

[random]

it's an artwork, but there is something true about it

[Erpy]

In the game, it's just one endless rectangle. The screens do follow a pattern, of course, but they already do that in the Shapeir vicinity too.

[pikaporeon]

Yea, and of course there's prescripted event screens like the Oasis, Merv, Julanar, Rasier, and of course all those little secrets for us to find

A long while back, I read that it was possible in QFG2EGA to run all the way from Shapeir to Raseir, if you set the speed high enough and brought plenty of waterskins. I forgot where I read this, but this source also stated that you couldn't enter Raseir this way, without a Visa. Does anyone know if that is true? Furthermore, was it included in the remake?

[Erpy]

You can walk to Raseir on foot, but like in the original, you can't get in there.
