Highlights from the conference (copying from the other thread)
Walking the world
- The first video shown is a portion of the Dascae region which will be on the demo
- Events and enemy position removed/changed for this video to show just the walking
- You can eat and gather information at gas stations
- If you can see something in the background you can go to it
- Depending on the shape of the ground Noct and friends walking animations will change
- If you keep running you can see your friends tire and try to catch their breath
- You can fish in streams, rivers, and the ocean!
- You can fight the wildlife. As they are always active, be careful as they will attack if you get close
- There are buildings in the forest with people living in them. You can enter some of these buildings
