"risibly-clothed"
I think that can work in any context.

So if this ever gets localized, how are they going to handle the text box issue? It looks like, to complement the vertical screen format, traditional vertical Japanese script is being used. That's obviously going to have to be changed for other countries, and the narrow screens pose a problem. It would be pretty ugly to have, say, the bottom third of the right screen taken up with a text box, so I hope they at least have a creative solution in mind. The easiest solutions would either be to have the text box spanning both screens or to treat text boxes like small pages that can be scrolled up and down in to accommodate as much text as they need to use. For those in the know, how were text boxes used in vertical DS games like Hotel Dusk and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword? (if NG:DS even had text)

Interesting game... I'm looking forward to it.
As for Ninja Gaiden and Hotel Dusk, the text boxes are placed at the bottom of the screen.

Yeah, it's kind of a given that the text boxes would be at the bottom of the screen; I'm more concerned with the issue of how to keep text boxes in a text-heavy game from being overly large due to the DS screen losing width when it's turned vertically and knowing how other vertical games have gotten past this potential problem without making all the text minuscule.

Simple: They just allow more than one text box to be scrolled through. Either that, or use a scroll function by dragging with your stylus. Either way works out nicely. ;)
Game looks great. Definitely going to be picking it up when it comes out.

So someone else agrees with my easy solutions from my first post. If we've thought of them it's for sure that Square Enix has too, so nothing to worry about, it seems.
Now back to regularly scheduled oohing and aahing at new scans.

...the save point (if that is a save point) reminds me of Xenogears...
