>>37610583Both, they're basically a rough draft. It closely resembles early Dragon Quest and Ultima games, which were the progenitors of this kind of genre so they didn't need to mind looks.
Here's a supposedly later alpha with close to final tilesets if not perfectly final, but some chunks of it still seem to point at older tilemaps, and they're in dire need of polishing. This V2 prototype and V1 couldn't possibly have been handed for review purposes I don't think, they're not in a presentable state, unless they were specifically told to stick to pokemon fights; but then again beta, nevermind alpha shots like these in magazines or promotional material are basically non-existant. Whatever builds they come from, they must have been private showings.
