It isn't long before we get some sudden story advancement here...
Crysta map by Captain Drake.
Crysta
If you leave Ark standing on spot long enough, he'll wave his finger back and forth like Sonic the Hedgehog.
When you leave the elder's house, you'll be in front of a house and outside for the first time in the game. The path to the left leads to a fortune teller. Talk to her, and you'll get a hint about what to do next.
If you press Y while moving or double-tap in any direction, you'll be able to run like in Illusion of Gaia. By pressing B, you can jump.
The townspeople don't have much in the way of useful information. You will see a reincarnation theme come from a few of them, though.
Directly north of the Elder's house is the Weaver's house. Here, you'll also find Elle. Talk to the woman at the table and apologize. From there, you can leave, or you can go upstairs and leap out of the window.
One of the pumpkins in the pumpkin patch has a face, and if you try to pick it up, it'll tell you to leave it alone.
To the east of the Weaver's house is the mill. If you want, you can go upstairs, flip the switch and stop the mill, and confuse the heck out of the miller. Now go back upstairs and turn it back on, please.
South of the mill (and east of the Elder's house) are the stores. The left one will allow you to buy items, weapons and armor, but you have to have Gold in order to buy anything, and you're broke right now. If you hold the L button, you'll learn what the currently selected item does. The right one is the Magirock store, which allows for the purchase of magical items and won't be utilized until a little later in the game.
Head back to the Elder's house after apologizing to the Weaver, and you'll find the rest of the guys at the house trying to open the blue door and that the Elder has gone out for a while. When the guy across from the front door asks if you want to give it a shot, you can say yes and throw a pot at it. If you say no, they'll eventually find a way to open the door anyway.
By throwing a pot at the blue door (use the A button, by the way), you can crack it. Throw another one at the door and you'll finally open it. You'll then trigger an in-game cutscene where you hear a voice crying for help. Everyone else is too scared to go down there after that, and they all leave it to you to go down the stairs to see what's inside as well as get into trouble. Keep going down the stairs and you'll eventually come across a box. Walk into the box...and don't run or it will tell you to walk. You'll open the box, and you'll find a purple winged creature inside. This is Yomi, and Yomi was sealed inside the box for a very long time, and that the Elder feared would enter the world inside the box. You'll also find out that you have the box that you just opened, and that you can enter it by pressing Select. Yomi will then give you a personal tour of the box, which just so happens to be the in-game menu...and it is a bit more complex than what Illusion of Gaia had going on.
