Stopping points

[Squall Strife]

It's been a question that is worth asking. We see that one can get out of Andy's room & out onto to the street. Woody says something along the lines that Galaxy Toys is on the other side of town. Seeing as how we're only shown 30% of the Toys Story inspired world, do you think there will be stop point like in the previous games where you reach a certain distance & then reach a stopping point in order to travel to the next area or do you think it will be a continuous route where we aren't plagued with a loading screen everytime we want to go to another area in the world?

It's not a seamless open world. There are transition screens. The areas are much bigger, but they are still technically separate maps.

Not far from Andy’s house is a transition screen to Galaxy Toys. There’s one to the toy shop at both ends of the screen. Galaxy Toys has one just after you exit the stop, as it doesn’t let you into the car park.

KH0.2 unfortunately had these zones, as Nomura’s wish for a seamless world had me hoping you could walk from one world to the next, but the existence of zones in that game made it clear KHIII would do the same. And now we know that Toy Box has at least one zone transition.

I don't recall seeing a transition screen from the footage. Got a still image?

Also, are these loading screens essentially? Or is it more or less a flash screen and then the next area loads?

Here's the one from the demo, goes about half a house down from Andy's:

Ah cool, thanks Sign! On the mini map, you can see the red boundary line.

I wonder how the save point area is going to work like? I didn't like how the recent games make them disappear and heartless come out.

Yeah, and there's another one on the other side of the map so you have two ways to get to Galaxy Toys
