I was actually messing with this months ago. But I didn't get around to making the video until now. 

Using walk through walls I engaged in out of bounds battles. When you win or successfully run away the game spawns you in another location. However, this is not random. While I'm no expert on this kind of thing, it looks to me as if your coordinates are changing despite the map not scrolling. The Mota overworld map wraps around visually. You can get on the jet scooter and reach the opposite coast while going in one direction. You can also wrap around the entire map with walk through walls. The Dezo overworld does not scroll though. But your coordinates still change and the game will respawn you where you should be after the battle. There are other areas that work this way. Basically any area where going out of bounds won't place you back on the overworld map.

Additionally, you can enter certain areas this way. That's how I got into the Crevice from just southeast of Zosa.

If you keep walking in one direction you will eventually loop around. Phantasy Star 3 is similar in that regard. But it doesn't work as smoothly.
