I have a better question:

Can we achieve the overworld view shown in the OP?

That, is actually a good question.

We don't even know if it is possible, without it being some kind of extremely high ground, or like ontop of very high hill.
Most 2D creatores never really bothers to make overworld view, since it takes too much effort, and even not as rewarding.
Unless we decides to make it so player can toggle down-ground/up-sky view where they look at the ground. Then they can look up to see if it's night, dark, moonshape, etc-etc.
