In pretty much every RPG out there when a player goes into a town or village it is only populated by a scant few people and is scaled way down. This is not the case in Summoner. Towns and villages in Summoner are the actual sizes of what they really would be if they existed. Believe me these places are massive and have tons to explore. As a matter of fact the first city you visit after leaving your village will probably take you well over 2 hours to explore.
Harlots walk the streets.
I just cannot stress how cool it all is. However as cool as the vast size of things is it does have some flaws. For one its very easy to get lost. Their is a mapping system which works pretty well for the most part but it could be better. Its also easy to lose track of certain people in towns you must find.
