Edge is the name of a ninja in Final Fantasy IV. Edge is pretty unique as he has the Throw ability that became synonymous with ninjas in Final Fantasy. If you haven't played it, it is one of the best RPGs on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, just not in the spotlight because Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, and The Secret of Mana are even better by the same company Squaresoft (and Shadow is a superior ninja too but has the benefit of not being introduced late in the story like Edge).
As a person who uses battlemaps on the tabletop, I still can't believe how often characters run off the edge of the map, even with our larger battlemaps. This often happens in Savage Worlds due to the Panicked status on Extras after a failed Fear roll.
In Shaintar, the All Out Move was often used to go from one edge of the map to the other side. Then again that is what happens when you double your pace and add +2d6 run dice. The funny thing is that average 31 movement gets you nearly from corner to corner on most DramaScape maps which tend to be 48 x 30 inches a lot of the time.
