Neksdor Desert

One of the sub-areas of Neksdor Desert.

The **Neksdor Desert** (Japanese: **トナリーノ砂漠** *Tonarīno Sabaku*) is a vast desert that covers most of the Neksdor region. Several tall cacti can be found in this area. It's the first area accessible when the player first arrived at Neksdor. It's divided into West, North, and East sub-areas.

At least in the West sub-area, weak monsters such as Scaredy-Scorpions and Cacti Stacks are common encounters, taking account of the first time the player is forced to pick a new job (thus a level reset) and start with a new team, but watch out for Griffins on the "risky shortcut" in one of this sub-area's stages. Stronger monsters can be encountered in the other sub-areas.

West Neskdor desert is also where the player obtains their very first Horse Outing Ticket
