Summary

A view of the beach

 Coneria Castle is huge in every direction.  There are several places that will probably only be seen by rotating the camera in the Editor.  Perhaps I got carried away building the castle as I saw fit, but it does make for some nice screenshots.  There are several raised areas that the player walks under.  In-game, the raised blocks go transparent when you run under them.  This is kind of different from TQ and I’m not 100% sure I like it, but I think I’ll keep it anyway.  It definitely feels like a castle.

Also, the raised areas are intended to match what it would look
like had you put floor 2 over floor 1 from the original ff1 maps.  Take a look at the image in the previous paragragh (before the second floor was added) compared to what it looks like now.  For reference, here’s the second floor from the original game.  The inside grid has still not been made.

Summary

Coneria gets an upgrade in TQFF.  Inside the walls is more like the business area, with outside shops and smiths.  Beyond the walls, in the Coneria Forest, the remote residential areas are spotted through the woods. However, most houses are still within in the outer wall (stones piled about waist high) for some protection agains the monsters that creep in the shadows of the trees.

Take note of one of the pictures below that has a view of the Coneria Castle. The true height can really only be seen with certain angles in the editor.

Summary

In TQFF, the southern tip of Coneria has been transformed from plains running merging with the ocean to a coastal beach with crystal blue water.  It’s a relaxing area, as the other side of the tip gets the coastal waves.  Here, the waves are nice and slow, forming a smooth beach.

Up further north, the forest runs into parts of the beach, where trees grow moss and collapse onto the sand.
