Man what's with all IAWW scans? They're never really scans, just pictures.
Some of those shots with the buildings in the background (like the pic with the crows) make the game look like it has a REALLY big scale... I hope the backgrounds are 3D, I honestly can't tell if they are or not. But if they are then it'll really help the game look like it has a big scale. I don't go into the city much, but when I do, I just love walking on the streets looking at all the massive buildings - if they could implement that into a DS game that would be pretty sweet.
Love the art too. The story sequences sorta remind me of manga. I hope this game meets its potential. IGN said it's not your "typical portable game" but a full blown adventure, so I have hope.
