First off, in general, all of these characters seem like Tales of Symphonia characters.
Leon, although I personally like that name, I find it too overused in RM games. Also he sounds moderatly like Sheena.
Rod sounds exactly like Kratos, with being a mercenary that cares only for money. The whole thing sounds like him. And, the last sentence is exactly how Kratos acts towards Lloyd.
Ellis is a Colette rip. 'Church of Gaurdia' = 'Church of Martel', the description sentence (the second) is a replica of Colette's personality.
Mai's the only one that DOESN'T sound like a ToS rip. Even though she's a ninja!
Eren uses Chakrams but sounds exactly like Zelos or Regal. Zelos wanted to leave his life, due to his status, and so did Regal.
Lucious is the other character that isn't really a

So yeh, overall I thought it was really good. It was a demo right?

Umm.... now I understand what they ment when they said comparing a game on here to FF is bad. You can't compare a completed game that had hundreds of JAPANESE people working on it to a game one person is making, it's unruly.

I agree that they sound like ToS characters, and isn't it a coincidence both names deal with Symphony? Symphonia?

Oh, give me a break on the characters. You're reading way too into things. With the exception of Lucious and Eren, I created ALL of these characters WAAAAY before ToS ever even existed. I've had these characters since I was a kid, I used to and still do use these characters in an ongoing book of mine that I've been writing since 4th grade. So if anything Namco ripped off of me. But enough of that, I'll try and get those screens up another way.

Here does this work?

[xJericho]

what chipset do you use in the second screenshot

[wahashimoto]

Yeah, well, I may be reading too much into things, it's just that yeah, i did find them similar. Anyway, it's just my opinion, Im not here to flame your game for sound-a-like characters---

---moving on--->

---Yeah, those screeenies look nice. Especially the first three map screenies. Did you do this on XP? The graphics look like it. And if you did do it on XP I have to commend you for putting the side-battle in. But it does look like 2K3. Maybe it's just the small pictures...

[Leon_1990]

Nice maps, and good use of pictures ^^

But the rudra map (the 4th one) doesnt seem to fit...
Also, the name "demon flame hit" doesnt seem to be too gripping...try something like, Demon Flame Slash.

[Meiscool-2]

Or Demonic Flair Shot.

Nice screens, I don't really think that the character goes with the map style, but that's just my opinion. Lookin good

 I think It's about time I updated the character roster with the support members

Renai
Age: 25
Weapon: Rapier/Passive Arts/ Universe and Time Blade Arts
Renai is a wandering priest. Nothing is known about him. According to gossip, they say he's on mission. The details are vague, but from the cryptic comments he makes it is assumed that he has some sort of association with Magdelina. If you try hard enough, he may just join you...

Naru
Age: 13
Weapon: Kodachi/Ki techniques/ Various mid level Ether Arts
A ninja in training. A pupil. A mere genin. Naru comes from the same village as Mai. She looks up to Mai as a big sister and hopes to be like her one day. She's not the most skilled ninja and she knows it. She's always trying hard to live up to people's expectations. She'll work with you at a certain point in the story.

Fiena
Age: 18
Weapon: Dagger,but for some reason she doesn't use it, choosing to kick instead, and Nemesis Arts
Fiena is...an aqaintence of Leon's. In fact they live in the same house. No, it's not like that. She's quiet, but by no means shy. She's mean and calculating whenever she does say something. And she ALWAYs get's her way(Just ask Leon, he tell you). Her fighting style is comepletely the EXACT opposite of her personality, Upbeat, bouncy, and relatively cheerful. In battle she WIELDS a dagger, but Leon, or anyone else for that matter, has never seen her actually use it...

Alright update time. First of all some new DBS features

Ether Moderation System - What this feature does is that when a character expends all 100 points of their Ethereal Power(EP) They will get tired and fall into a state called 'Drained' In this condition, the character will not be able to act for a few turns and they will regain a small amount of EP back to start them off again. I think that this will regulate the amount of EP used and so that it isn't simply spammed and reloaded over and over again.

Ether Guard - What this does basically is return 5 EP to the defending character. You may want to defend if you see that you're about to become 'Drained' and regain some EP instead of stupidly choosing to use that Tech and become 'Drained'

And finally some screens
