I had this elsewhere before I realized I was dumb. I might still be, iunno. It seems Marvelous has this handy PDF with some information junk that could have some interesting information on Wind Bazaar. Maybe.

From what I heard from some TGS convention-goers..

-this game will have voices. I don't know if you can turn them off. For example "Yaa!" and "Ei!" when using tools, and a "Yatta!" when putting stuff in the shipping bin. And the male protagonist has a female voice... according to many people it sounds kinda cute but gets old fast.
-Your character can jump up and down, I don't know how that will be put to use in the game...
-The demo field was 6x9, but it should be bigger in the final version...
-1 bag of seeds seems to produce only 1 square of crops
-1 second of real time = 1 minute of game time
-You can only fish in certain locations
-The town is small, but the bazaar seems big

New characters (not 100% sure on the romanizations, but):

Aunt Claire - Regular old lady...?
Ange - sharp-looking girl with light blue hair. Most likely eligible for marriage.
Erich - looks like Ange's father.
Sigyun and Laramie - twins. Sigyun is the outgoing type, while Laramie looks shy. They are little girls.
Szmidt - He is probably a marriage candidate. He has long white hair that is tied back and seems coldhearted.

Yay! Twins *Get's excited* Though.... I'm not buying the game....

I don't think I am either...it just isn't very appealing at the moment, I guess.

I'm going to buy it, if only just to add it to my collection.

Are you going to play it at all???

My take on the name romanization (using Google as a reference):

ユリス　＝Julis
ディルカ　＝　Dirka
ロイド　＝Llyod
フレヤ　＝　Freja
アネモネ　＝　Anemone　（Real surprise here)
シエルファ　＝　Cielpha
フェリックス　＝　Felix
スチュアート　＝　Stuart
サニア　＝　Sania
ムーチョ　＝　Mucho

For the...non-english names, I went on google using the exact text and found someones name (which happened to be romanized).

These do make sense to me, however, considering the setting.

If you go to the official site, they have the English names but they're not on the page. They in the URL for the character's pages. The English names are:

-Juris
-Dirka
-Loyd
-Shelfer
-Anemone
-Freyja
-Agi
-Enju
-Felix(Mayor, I think)
-Stewart(Old man)
-Sania(Old Woman)

So I suppose that's how Marvelous would spell those names in English.

They added a promo movie to the main page. The narrator is the male protagonist's voice actress... though, something tells me it might be the same voice for male and female....
