Mainland Destiny Islands pt.I
Continuing from my last post, my musings about mainland Destiny Islands~! I’ve divided Destiny Islands to smaller areas to make it easier to tackle one part or certain aspects of the islands at a time. Starting from Ocean Road and the village around it!
Everyone knows Ocean Road in the context of the path Kairi and Selphie walk back home from town. The path is aligned with dense shrubbery and haphazardly built light posts. It starts from the beach straight across from the Island and seems to end up in town by the base of the volcano.
Along Ocean Road there are houses all around, creating a village environment. It seems Sora, Riku and Kairi live somewhere along Ocean Road. Selphie, Tidus and Wakka probably do as well, since they’ve been going to the Island past the beach since they were small kids as well. From Sora’s room you can see the Island from his window, suggesting that his house is somewhere very close to the beach.
Around the neighbourhood there are two types of palm trees, as well as some hardwood trees. Hardwood trees don’t seem to grow on the Island, and seem to exclusively grow on the mainland.
There are three types of flowers that seem to grow along Ocean Road and the rest of the area.
1. PETUNIA
The most prominent flower seems to be a flower that seems like a petunia. Petunias have a similar shape and color schemes, petunias are also a bit of a tropical flower in the sense that they need a lot of warmth and light, so perfect for island living~!
2. TECOMA - YELLOW TRUMPETBUSH
Between the petunias, there seems to be yellow trumpet flowers, tecomas, which are also a tropical flower. They come in all sorts of breeds, as vines, bushes etc. These seem to be the bush variety, but who knows, if there are trumpet vines deeper in town?
3. HYSSOP
This one is more tricky than the rest, a lilac, low, bush type of a plant. The plant seems similar to lavender, but by the shape of the whole bush it’s closest counterpart is a hyssop. Hyssop is also a warm weather plant, so suitable for the islands.
We’ve only seen the village during nighttime and sunset in game, but context clues give hints to what the area possibly looks like during daytime.
During the daytime Destiny Islands in bathed in bright sunlight, the water is bright turquoise and the plants emit a deep bluish green. A lot of the plants are cool purples and blues, and especially on the Island there’s a lot of purple and blue plants.
The houses around the village seem to be a white or creamy beige color with reddish orange roofs. The same reddish wood seen on light posts seems to be used on the houses as window trimming and fences. Curiously, there are wooden window shutters on some of the houses, which are painted green.
