Yeah, I was hoping that the zones would be basically split up like in FFXII. That way when you're travelling from zone to zone, you don't have to select from a list on where you want to go next. Instead, the world map sounds more like Lost Odyssey and FFX. Actually, I just hope that one day we finally get a RPG with a world map the size of an MMO. Wishful thinking probably, but that would make for one badass game. Imagine a single player game with the world map from WoW. Haha

It is just as you said. In DQ8 only special monsters that you could recruit, could be seen in the field. Everything else were random battles.
And about travelling in WKC, I hope all the areas are connected like FFX/XI/XII.
A huge open field world like DQ8/SWG would be nice, but that would be rather stressfull for the system. Separating the game into areas is still a nice option, unless you want to give "total" freedom to the players, which is very hard to implement properly.
So for travelling between areas it can be done as easily as using warp points of some way related to the WKC world, or using warp, teleport spells or items, and just have a world map for reference.

shows them when they were ages 6 and 7, so im guessing they grew up together, or new each other as kids
there's a cut little blue owl thing in one of the screens too
and a few shots of some of the enemies we've seen (troll,treant and cyclops thingies)

The princess in "casual" clothes looks very much like Monica from Dark Cloud 2.

zurra said:That whole concept of those huge enemies (or the turtle with the city on its back) is really hurt by having a point-and-click world map. Seamless world seemed like an obvious choice.
The princess looks really cute in casual clothes! <3
yeah I dont like the point and click world map....by I expect the maps to be huge...these are the guys who did the tech for DQ 8, which had an amazing world map
I haven't seen this in GAF before but it appears that the main characters VA's cast is the following:
Renard - Namikawa Daisuke
Princess Shizuna - Sakamoto Maaya
Yuri - Yukino Satsuki
What an awesome and solid cast, if true. I haven't been able to confirm this 100%, so just take it as a rumor, if I get solid confirmation I'll post it then.
Edit: better edited for accuracy of info.

Man, I sure hope they put an English-to-Japanese voice selector in the NTSC-U version. ._.

If it's any relief to people who are keeping an eye on this, apparently the offline and online presentations are indeed of a different quality.

the sky looks good.
The online screens look great! We need a video showing the interaction with the environment tho, as well as how clothes and hair react to movement.
Artistically is a wonderful game, but technically, unless we see it on movement is harder to judge right now.
About the similarityof that city, I'm sure the last thing the developers thought about it when designing it was FFVII, it is clearly a fortress, you can see all the walls with the many watch towers. The city inside, and that huge core in the middle or whatever, that is what gives energy to the town, and maybe to the turtle too?
If some people think the turtle is there just because in Level 5 someone has a fetish with them, it is not quite like that, there's an old Indian myth that says our world is supported by four elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle.
It is related to the second avatar of Vishnu, Kurm., He sat on the bottom of the ocean after the Great Flood. A mountain was placed on his back by the other gods so that they could churn the sea and find the ancient treasures of the Vedic people.
Some info on Kurma and some modern thought about that idea from a cosmology point of view.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Bah, megacity with a large ziggurat in the center?
It has been done for thousands of years, Square did not invent it.

Between the text in the upper left corner, the health bars and stats in the upper right, the mini-map in the lower left, the huge targetting circle in the lower right, and the move selection stuff at the bottom, I think that there is a bit too much information taking up the majority of screen space. They should tone it down a bit. Game looks great though.
