Innerpeace and Outlands

Innerpeace and Outlands, known as Inner (インナー) and Outer (アウター) in Japan, are terms from the Mega Man ZX series that refer to the safety of a location. The former refers to safe areas, countries habited by people, while the latter refers to a lawless wilderness with dangerous Mavericks that are avoided by the countries.

In Mega Man ZX, areas from the map with a blue outline represent Innerpeace areas, while areas with a red outline represent Outlands areas. Excluding story related battles, all enemies encountered in Innerpeace areas (Area A, B, C and D) will not attempt to attack the player while in the base Humanoid form, only being aggressive if the player is using a Biometal. However, they will still cause damage on contact. Enemies in the Outlands are always aggressive. This color outline may not apply to the Mega Man ZX Advent map as Innerpeace and Outlands aren't mentioned, enemies are always aggressive, and the Mysterious Lab uses both colors.
