Post by: RPG LORD on January 22, 2004, 08:34:59 PM: Poltergeists are knocking spirits I believe.

Post by: Darkfox on January 22, 2004, 08:39:22 PM: Poltergeist is also a boss in FF6 (FF3 in US) I beleive...

FaceSet: Roco

I use Roco facesets too and have made some expressions for the main characters in my game, so I might be able to help you with a few of them.

- Over 50 cities

WHOA! Be careful there! My game takes place mostly in cities. I have *counts* 12 cities or towns right now, and I am having a heck of a time making them look and feel different. You really want to avoid "oh, another town, buy some new weapons, leave and never come back" syndrom.

Post by: Reain_ on January 22, 2004, 10:39:09 PM: wow this is sweet im a big fan myself of FF my game FFTNB (Final Fantasy The New Beginning) features FF characters 7-10 mabye you should cheak it out it may give you ideas

well i hope you relese your game's demo soon i would love to play it

oh and BTW: poltergeist is a movie (lol it was an ok movie)
actually its a ghost that manifests itself by noises, rappings, and the creation of disorder.

Post by: X-F3R on January 23, 2004, 10:37:59 AM: i agree big time!
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on January 23, 2004, 03:09:37 PM: RRWP you're right I'll post complete info of the characters later. And Poltergeist is a horrible "horror" movie. Yes, X-F3R, ideas are very welcome! ;) Huh? What's KS?

Yes... Storyline... It tells about the reign of poltergeist. Poltergeist was a good god in the beginning, and then he betrayed himself. Poltergeist became the ultimate god of darkness. Poltergeist has a servant clan named Chaos. They are a gang of black knights who keep things in order for darkness. They are unmerciless and everybody, who resists them, will have a quick death. So, they are kinda main villains in the game, but I still need ideas for the "cool" bad guy.

The Chaos members are:
- Arcel: A quick knight who has the dark power of thunder.
- Malekith: The leader of Chaos, who has the sword of eternal darkness.
- Gardosh: A fat knight who has the dark power of earth.
- Michiel: The "cool" guy of Chaos. He uses the dark power of air.
- Dastero: A knight who has the dark power of fire.
- Gaerth: Brother of Gareth (One of the main characters), who has the dark power of water.

Ok, and the story continues...

One day, Chaos attacks to the peaceful town of Tarthos, where our main character, Rodan, lives. Roden awakes and goes downstairs, and then he saw his father, advisor Gaer, a man, who disappeared years ago. Then, a terrible secret reveals... Gaer has always been a servant of Poltergeist, and he wants Rodan to join Chaos. Rodan refuses, and so a battle between Gaer an Rodan begins... Rodan wins, and Gaer disappears.Then, Fidrick, a royal knight saves Rodan from Chaos and they come to the village of Griza. There Fidrick tells a terrible truth about Poltergeist's plans...

Poltergeist is going to sacrifice the whole world to get Crystal, the origin of all life. With the Crystal, Poltergeist would ruin the world, and all kind of life disappears. And so Rodan's story begins. He has to free Gaia, the lifeform of the world. That is the only way, how Poltergeist would be defeated...

You like it? Yes, it is a bit of cliche, but I have made this game so far, that I CAN'T make it again...

Ok, ok. The character info.

Rodan:
Rodan is an eager fighter, and he fights all the way to the very ending. He has lived all his life at home, with his mother and father. Rodan finds hard to have any responsibility, but he becomes more responsible within the story. He's weapons are different kinds of swords.

Darche:
Darche is a calm and summoner from a rich family. She is very sensitive and not very strong, but she tries her best to the end. She uses staffs as weapons.

Fidrick:
Fidrick is a brave fighter from the city of Rigalia, the center of the world. He doesn't know anything about his family. He's always been training, training and training, and so he has become very shady. But later, he becomes more happy guy, and he and Rodan becomes good friends.

Yeh, like it? Hope so!

Post by: X-F3R on January 23, 2004, 03:27:40 PM: KS for Kindred Saga, one of RM2k's best games with a cool CBS and CMS.

this sounds very interesting, to be frank. i see why RRWP's kinda furious with FF Fan games cuz they do have the potential to make original games. but well, i guess this should be FF because of the Summons and the Weapons. if it wasn't, then they'd say you ripped it off of FF ;)

i have no ideas right now, i'll tell ya when i have any

Post by: Mikagami on January 23, 2004, 03:32:56 PM: Ok! Thanks!

Hmm... What should I tell to you... Yes! I am making a site related to FF: RoP! It is soon ready.

EDIT: The game is ready... Umm... It takes a year to finish it. Sorry, that's true!
Title:
Post by: X-F3R on January 23, 2004, 04:23:59 PM: a year.. that means you're putting a lot of effort into this.

50 cities/town/villages is WAY too much, believe me. if i had to make something that's 50, it would be both cities and various dungeons. thing about it is there should be at least 5 cities that don't sell stuff.. cuz it's that much! lol.. maybe there's this place with weak stuff then later on in the game when, u get the best equipments there. that's what i'll do in mine =P cities that specialize in stuff. like.. some kind of customized armor.. like.. in a certain somewhere, you get a pair of cotton undies, but in another certain somewhere else, you get cotton undies that protect you against poison and such. gets? =P

50 cities.. too much! lol.. donno what to think of.. ending post

*bleep* *bleep* bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

EDIT:
btw, put in a lot of side quests and about 5 secret characters.. cuz of 50 cities.. whew.. and also, mini-games, etc etc.

and also, as RRWP said. More is more. Same goes for the gameplay. Longer is just simply longer, nothing more or less than that. if you make the game in a wrong step, then people would be playing 18 hours worth of crap. no, i'm not saying that your project is crap. i'm just telling you beforehand that if things don't go well, then you'll be wasting a year's time. get RRWP as a beta-tester (that is, if he doesn't mind) cuz i believe he will make very harsh suggestions. however, his suggestions really reflects what more serious gamers want to see. get another beta-tester as well. i don't wanna be it cuz i wanna save the excitement ;)
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on January 23, 2004, 04:26:42 PM: Currently, I have 32 cities, and they are all different. Some cities sell rare stuff, some don't.
Title:
Post by: X-F3R on January 23, 2004, 04:30:11 PM: re-read the earlier post.. i updated it

anyways, i won't be replying for about 12 hrs. why? i'm going to bed. g'nite! ;)
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on January 23, 2004, 05:11:37 PM: Ok, the secret Gaions are:

- Behemoth
- Minotaur
- Quezacoatl
- Phoenix
- Diablos
- Omega Weapon

I have thought about a new idea! How about a place named History Shrine or something?
I have thought about it something like this, that you can fight there with Golbez, Sephiroth, ExDeath, Kuja and all other bad guys! It is something like a Colosseum in Kingdom Hearts.

Post by: RPG LORD on January 23, 2004, 06:01:11 PM: Holy smoke, that would be funny!
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on January 23, 2004, 06:04:17 PM: Yes, it is!
Title:
Post by: RPG LORD on January 23, 2004, 07:36:55 PM: Well, it would be nice to summon Jehova at a time.
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on January 23, 2004, 07:37:12 PM: You are right, RRWP. This doesn't have to be a FF game. You're right about the summons and so fort... Yes, thanks. I have now a new dimension at RPG Making. :bend:

EDIT: This topic has so much stuff, so, I make a new one! For the new game.
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on January 25, 2004, 01:23:52 PM: NEWS:
The game is back to Final Fantasy, because the game is filled up with FF things, like Moogles, Chocobos.

For now, I have:

- Made some new weapons, like Excalibur and such
- Made four new monsters, Were Rat, Spike Rat, Iron Giant and Chimera
- Added some cool FF musics to some maps without music
- Made a new boss, Airforce
- Created one dungeon and two forests
- Made History Shrine!
- Made a Moogle City

etc.

Post by: Mikagami on January 26, 2004, 01:24:29 PM: Oh, I am damn sorry I'm renaming my game! Never heard of a fangame?

Well, don't play my game, THAT IS YOUR BUSSINESS, but THIS GAME IS MY BUSSINESS! You can't stop me making this a Final Fantasy, this is MY GAME! Ok, Mr. Serious Gamer, fine! Everything would be fine, if you would stop posting to this topic!

Ha!

Post by: Rowan on January 26, 2004, 04:53:18 PM: (Rowan brings a bag of Popcorn and joins X-F3R and Saikar watching RRWP slap himself VERY hard, non-stop in the forehead!)

Hmm... This arguement reminds me of another thread... O' well. Like Alex said in that one! STOP!!!! He also said in that thread if arguements like that continues he will lock the thread! I'm SURE you really don't want that to happen! (I DON'T!) I want to say something to RRWP to right now! But I'm going to let it slide, because of the fact there has been WAY to much spamming going on around in the forums and I really don't want to get Alex pee'd. Also I'm letting it slide because of Several Arguements that have came to be somewhere in the forums. We're trying to make this a site of HELPING not FIGHTING!

Okay can we just try OR at least act as friends in this thread? Thank you! End of arguement! No more said! Back on Topic!

------------------

I LOVE the History Shrine Idea! I would like to see this in action really! Try thinking of other ideas like that that can make your game shine! Like hmm.... Do you think you can come up with your own card game?

Post by: X-F3R on January 27, 2004, 05:06:18 AM: *stops watching* errr.. hey, RRWP, you want me to help you on that forehead slapping? *sits down and gets some of Rowan's popcorn* "oh wait.. drinks.. my treat, guys" *comes back with 3 super large drinks* ***Spamz0r***

Post by: Mikagami on January 27, 2004, 12:31:03 PM: I would like that RRWP won't post any posts to this topic. I don't want to get angry today.

Post by: Daedelus26 on February 25, 2004, 07:15:24 AM: Hey if you have made all those cities already and such, how about posting some screenshots of your game. Cause the only thing worse than 32 cities is 32 crappy looking, poorly designed cities.
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on February 25, 2004, 03:39:27 PM: The game is dead, my computer crashed.
Title:
Post by: Daedelus26 on February 26, 2004, 02:04:36 AM: How convenient. I've noticed a remarkable trend in the RPG Maker community. Whenever someone is working on a game and is gonna release something, magically their computers crash around the time they were supposed to release. Or someone keeps hyping their game and then magically lose anything when someone wants some physical evidence. Now I'm not making any claims against you persay, I'm just making an observation.
Title:
Post by: Mikagami on February 29, 2004, 01:49:42 PM: My computer crashed ages ago, jerk! And don't make me angry.

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...
Title:
Post by: X-F3R on February 29, 2004, 02:01:16 PM: ladies and gentlemen, another bringer of chaos..

=.=" just 2 posts and you're already talking crap..
Title:
Post by: Daedelus26 on March 02, 2004, 12:06:23 AM: I'm not talking crap, I'm making a simple observation about how people's computers always die before they were supposed to release something.
