THis game needs first person View. You can't exactly enjoy parts like the balloon platform rides in Marleybone or the ship ride in Krokotopia without it, really.
Well while I do agree that we need a first person perspective mode, seeing as we do not have one right now a few people including myself have had to make due with other methods. So here's how, while moving backwords zoom your camera in till you disappear then right click and hold the mouse button. As long as you do your camera will stay in a first person perspective mode per say and you can steer with your mouse, Enjoy :D .
And Akihiro this is a suggestion forum please be constructive and reasonable. Hyper had a good and i'm sure if implemented this would be optional allowing you to still see your wizard if you wanted to.
