The World Map is divided into an 8x8 grid, each square of which has its own set of encounters. Terrain has no effect on what you encounter or the likelihood of being attacked. The grid aspect of the world means there are pockets of land where you will have encounters that don't typically belong in that area.

Name		 HP Gold
The total amount of experience earned for defeating this monster (this is split evenly among surviving party members)
Exp

Dmg
The number of hit chances the monster gets whenever it attacks; each successful hit will deal full damage and can be a critical hit
Hits
The hit % of the monster's attacks; the base chance to hit is approximately 84% plus half of the monster's hit %, modified by the target's evade %
Hit %
The status ailment, if any, that can be inflicted by this monster's attacks; the base chance of affliction is 50%, reduced by 1% for each two points of magic defense the target has; note that, due to a bug, misses after the attack's first hit have a chance to inflict a status ailment despite not hitting
Status
The chance of each of this monster's attacks being a critical hit (unless the attack misses); critical hits add double the monster's damage rating to their normal damage (this extra damage ignores absorb)
Crit
Each physical hit the monster takes will have its damage reduced by this amount
Abs
The monster's base chance to evade any given physical attack; each two points of evade % result in a 1% better chance to evade attacks

Sp. Att
The families this monster belongs to; only Undead monsters are affected by HARM spells; note that other monster families have no mechanical effect
Family
The elements this monster is weak against; weakness against an element causes spells and special attacks of that element to be approximately 20% more likely to hit, and damaging spells or special attacks deal an additional 50% damage
Weakness
The elements this monster is resistant to; resistance to an element drops the base hit chance for spells and special attacks of that element to 0, and those attacks cause half damage

The World Map is divided into an 8x8 grid, each square of which has its own set of encounters. Despite what you may assume, terrain has no effect on what you encounter (or even the rate at which you are attacked). The grid aspect of the world means there are occasional pockets of land where you can fight encounters that don't really belong in a particular area. I've described the general area where each encounter table is found, but if you want a graphical representation, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Boss Pirate
Final Fantasy II's World Map is one of the most interesting in the whole series. While square maps in general make little logical sense (the way they scroll on all four sides would require a planet in the shape of a donut), this game really takes the cake. You can actually walk northwest for long enough that you arrive where you started! With the exception of a few islands, all the major land areas in the game are connected and can be walked to. You could theoretically walk to Mysidia at the beginning of the game (but good luck surviving).

World Map

Once you restore light to the Water Crystal, the flood covering the World Map will dissipate, revealing a world that dwarfs the Floating Continent. Fortunately you'll mostly be using vehicles to travel, but there are even encounters for airships in a few areas.
