In Final Fantasy XIII, it is the only place in the game where the player can ride wild chocobos. The area links the Vallis Media, Faultwarrens, and Mah'habara Subterra. In Final Fantasy XIII-2, another part of the Steppe is explored, possibly the western side, where it is now the home of a hunters' settlement in possession of a weather changing device. None of the Final Fantasy XIII location is reused in Final Fantasy XIII-2, and though always a vast plain, the area is completely different in each game.
