    I have heard that the stronger you get the better the boat becomes, which means eventually you can go over mountains and see the old towns once again, is this true? I have tried many times trying to get to the old island but nothing worked, although I did happen to see Xian i think...man I really gotta replay the game im forgetting everything :)

      you can't fly there but you can go there. at a spot near Loho(dwarf town), if you jump off the boat in a special angle you can go to Vale and some other town. you can't enter them just stand inside the "illusion" of the town.

            Even though Hamat says "as your power increaes your boat will travel higher" or something like that, but no you can't travel over mountians, and landsmarks of that sort.

              Its a shame cos that feature would (returning to old towns) would have been and excellent final addition to the game. It is however somewat irrelevant to the plot so i guess i can see why they decided against it.

                You get better but your boat never does. Minor drawback.

                  I think when he says fly higher or something, maybe because the fly recover gets faster as you gain levels so maybe you can fly longer...

                    The only landmark of the original GS towns and such that appears is Vale. All the other towns were removed. For example, at the west end of the Karagol, there was an empty space where Tolbi was supposed to be.

                        Maybe, in the next game you will get a party of 12 adepts, and the boat will be able to go even higher. If there is a next game, away.

                          There were no towns, caves, forests, or dungeons when I looked around. Mercury Lighthouse probably wasn't there either, I don't think you can see Imil...

                              To get to VL, you have to pass through the Suhalla Desert. To get to the Suhalla Desert, you need to cross the Gondowan Passage but the Gondowan Passage is missing, so you can't get to VL.

                                  the only towns/lighthouses/etc in the original world are Vale, Sol Sanctum, Mercury Lighthouse, Venus Lighthouse and the Babi Lighthouse (they're there for the little cinematic at the end of the game) you cannot reach any of them except Vale and Sol Sanctum, and you cannot enter either. You can't get to the northern area (Bilibin, Imil, Kolima, Xian, etc.), as Bilibin Cave and Lamakan Desert Cave are gone. Therefore, even though the Mercury Lighthouse is there, you can't even see it until the cinematic at the end (you can't reach it by boat because the ocean above Imil is blocked off by rocks).
