@CRAZE - Looking good. Ya know, I now give Passive skills (that does nothing) to my characters because I player the Geondun demo (just a bit though). I wish there are methods to implement equip --> passive effect ON in Rm2k3 now.... (I think in VX it was quite easy).

Righto, so here's the deal people.
The game's 'overworld' map is divided into 9 (probably) MAPS. So when you move from one end to the other, it teleports you to another 20 x15 map. Icons like this signify map transition
(actually this is not the final icon, I just give my old icon a shot here).
I am not sure if this idea will work, so I guess I need to experiment more.
Q : Why not just make it one huge map?
A : This way, the screen won't move when you move; thus you can always see total view of the area you are in. If you played Romancing Saga 3, I think you will get the idea easily (i.e. the world map).
Btw, detail of the area :
1. Junkyard
2. A Bar/Cafe
3. Work area
4. Blue box thingie at the bottom : Subway station (maybe you can ride subways for quick travel?? Whoa, I need to put this down).
5. Parking lot (useless)
6. Weapon shop kind of thing
That's it.
EDIT==========
Speaking of ICONS:


They are
everywhere. Joy.
There are Blue icons; red icons; green icons ; and yellow icons; each represent different things (ex. items/locked doors/important items etc).
It's gonna be messy folks! (I will cut them down btw).
