This game is now going to be split into 5 different projects so thatll itll be easier for me with coding and demos and everything....thanxXx to Tomi for the idea!
Story
When the world was young there were two major powers, the Soul Seekers and the Umbra. The Soul Seekers were peaceful people who learned to harness the powers and balance their lifestyles with every living thing around them and their souls. The Umbra, on the other hand, were known more as the "Devourers of Souls". They would rather consume and over power every living things soul and enslave them to gain power for themselves. As the Soul Seekers were becoming less in numbers due to the Umbra, one Soul Seeker decided to wage war on the Umbra. By teaching his ways and through countless training, the Soul Seeker had made an army that he thought could take on the Umbra. The bloodshed of the battle waged on and on until the very last Umbra came face to face with the Soul Seekers leader. The head Umbra was then defeated and sealed away, to be forgotten in the black abyss of emptyness. Now after the great war between the two forces, one lay victorious and on top. Along with this victory came losses as well. Many Soul Seekers also did not survive, but they did not die in vain. After the war new government was formed and new rules established while the Soul Seekers lived ordinary lives. Eventually, with the Umbra gone, the Soul Seekers didnt need their powers anymore. Their powers started to become more dormant and forgotten until people didn't even know what an Umbra was anymore. Now with the Soul Seekers powers dormant and forgotten there are no more Soul Seekers in the world, or at least ones with awoken powers. Although this is true it is also true that Soul Seekers are still born and that they still do exist.......they just don't kno it.....that's all.
SOUL SEEKER
A person who is able to grasp the power of a soul/spirit in a certain sometimes physical manner, whether it be energy around a fist or morphed into a weapon. They also have the ability to "fuse" with a soul and change into a sort of demi or half soul like creature. they become "enchanted" lets say by the souls power and are granted new powers. In this form they are also much stronger, they have new techniques, and even there very appearance changes. A soul seeker is a very rare discovery...about 1 in 35,000,000 people are born a soul seeker. Also some are born one and dont even know they are, they lay dormant and there powers are never awoken. Unless its awoken then its different......

Sorry, but it had to be done, that was super great man. I'm actually jealous of a game for once, because I know I couldn't make battles that cool if I tried using the DBS.

Gameplay - 8/10
I enjoyed going through the dungeons a lot more than the first one I played. The Charaset Monsters added a lot more to the dungeons than I thought they would. Also, the events that happened were believable, yet intriguing. I was pissed when Coak stole my money!
Music - 8/10
Music is very important! If you're music sucks, than it's hard to play through a game without getting annoyed. You made some very good choices in your music, I liked the music I heard, it fit in well with the dungeons and events. But there were some situations where I felt it was a bit choppy and the music was switching around too fast. (like the intro.) But overall, very good.
Graphics - 9/10
The one you all want to hear about. Well, it would have gotten a perfect 10, but there were some uses of the chipsets that brought it down. But the battle animations, monsters and sprites in general, blended well and made it very enjoyable for the eyes.
Difficulty - 7/10
Some of the battles were just too hard, JP! I had to fight the first boss three times! If it wasn't for the awesome GFX I might've just said f*ck it! ;)
Storyline - 7/10
I've gotta admit, the storyline may seem a little cliche, but you made good use of it. It's definitely got an interesting plot. Can't wait for more!
OVERALL - 8/10
Side Notes This game is awesome. It's defintiely come a long way. It could use some work, but couldn't all games? Good luck, I expect this game to be one of the best to come out of Charas!

I hate map menus more, because when you warp outta the menu, all the events change back to their original places.
Post by: drenrin2120 on February 14, 2006, 12:54:38 AM
As for the choice.. hm... It's tough. Making 5 seperate stories was never going to be easy. But I don't think you should just throw away all that work. Maybe there's a way you can combine all the stories into one? It might make for an interesting pot.

TomiRm2k3: awww
TomiRm2k3: NOOO

Dude this game is looking sweet. Sorry I haven't been posting here! I been absent
Post by: dragoninja on February 17, 2006, 09:07:22 AM
Nice CMS by the way.
CMS about the items, I think you also should add an info sheet or something that tells you about the item, like one the standard menu on RM, but this one tells slightly more in detail, i.e. Info, Price when sold to store, weigh etc. Just to make it a bit more interesting...
Myeah d(^^' - Good work though
