What is the greatest overworld theme? Field themes count too. Just the transitional place/wilderness between towns and locations.

I guess it's cheating because the game doesn't really have anything else than the overworld, but it really sounds like one of these themes

What's the difference between an overworld and a field?
>>
>>738922267
As much as a difference between rogue-like and rogue-like. There is none.

I love this one:

>overworld
The thing a lot of classic JRPGs used to do where leaving an area would bring you to a giant map where you just walked around and most areas on the world were represented by icons/tiles on the map.

>field
A more seamless transition between areas and the world that doesn't bring you to an entirely new screen/map. The perspective stays the same and fields retain the same kind of detail and level design as actual locations.

Basically

overworld
>leave town
>suddenly globetrotting

Field
>leave town
>you're now in the meadows
