Getting Around the Game World
Screen Layout
The World Screen
On the world screen, you can guide Evan as he makes his way across the vast landscapes of his kingdom and beyond. At first, you'll be exploring on foot, but as the story progresses, boats and even airships will become available.
- Basic Status (For more details, see here.)
- Monsters
- Walking into an enemy in the field will initiate a battle. When a foe notices Evan and his friends, an exclamation mark will appear above their head, and they will give chase, but as our heroes grow stronger, weaker opponents will begin to avoid them.
- The Mini-Map
- Current Objective
- Displays the next objective for your currently active quest. This can be selected from the "Quests" section of the menu.
In Dungeons/Towns/Buildings
When in dungeons, towns, and certain buildings, the camera position and screen display will change, and you will be able to perform some of the actions you can usually only perform in battle.
(For more details, see here.)
Understanding the Mini-Map

PLEASE NOTE: You can set whether or not the mini-map turns with the character you are controlling in the "Options" menu.
- Position and Orientation of Character Being Controlled
- Objective

The Main Map
When out and about in the world, you can press the BACK button to open up a detailed map showing your surroundings and the names of any known locations nearby. Only areas you have visited will be displayed.
The Trip Door Map
Pressing the BACK button while the main map is open (or holding the BACK button) will display the trip door map, which will show you all the locations you can teleport to, and also allow you to return instantly to your kingdom.
Trip Doors
Trip doors are special spots dotted around the world that you can examine in order to have them remember you. Once they have, you'll be able to teleport back to them instantly from almost anywhere.
