This guy here:
>>19391680. The "starting town" is finished. Your character is going to arrive on boat (I don't know why yet though) and be guided by another character up where the first route will start. I'll probably put an event while you're guided along that'll introduce you to atleast one of the teams in the region. The thing to note about this town is the market that will function as a sort of "early game department store" in that it'll have unique items that'll be useful until later in the game when you get to the city with the actual dept store.
Thoughts on it so far? I also can't name places to save my life so if anyone has any ideas on city names I'll be open to them.
