The Desert of Shifting Sands (シフトサンズの砂漠, Shifutosanzu no sabaku^?), also known as Quicksand Desert, is a location in Final Fantasy V.

StoryEdit

Bartz and the party cross through the Desert of Shifting Sands in pursuit of King Tycoon, who is rumored to have crossed the desert floating on air. The sands are always moving like rivers, making the trek by foot impossible. Cid Previa and his grandson Mid propose summoning the Sandworm that lives in the area, and after killing it, use its body to cross the desert, like a bridge. After defeating the Sandworm, the party crosses the desert to reach Gohn. As they move through, they come across a Pyramid, but cannot enter it.

After the Earth Crystal's destruction the sands of the desert stop flowing, and later, the party will be able to enter the Pyramid.
