I'm all for fog of war on maps. I do prefer FFXI's map system, but it wouldnt do too well in this game. How about fog of war everywhere apart from when you first start the game, your town is visible and a small radius outside your town is visible on the maps, while everything else is shrouded (this was kinda in FFXI, you start off with maps to your starting area and had to quest or open chests for the rest of the maps around the world which was really fun, but some people will surelly say something like 'oh noes i dont wanna spends my 1 hour a day that i have to log in getting lost blablabla')
