Kino as usual.
Here's a wild suggestion for Save/Load:
Have the background of the character reflect where they saved in the world. Maybe have a couple of pre-made screenshots or background images, and apply them based on the save location. Something simple - it doesn't have to be the exact screen the character was in. Like - if they saved inside of an NPC's house - show a default "House" background. A dungeon - show a Cave background, etc.
This is really only since the character probably took a lot of work, and they're shown atop a basic gray background.
Not sure if that would be a giant pile of work, but I think it would look cool.
