Dumbass.

Who?

Ahhh, SF3 is a beauty, which I might get to play the other 2/3rds of it one day. Both are good, well written articles, congrats to both of you.

What other games will you be doing ? Nights into Dreams ? ( I believe thats the proper title for it).

1. Saving:

a) Bring back the priests!

(and oh god, does Dragon Quarter have so many faults, I do actualy want to finish it one day, if I can put up with it long enough).

2. Attacking View:

a) would be nice, but it usualy requires a level of art skill that most of us quite frankly dont have, or at least not well enough. It takes time, too.

3. Main Character / Plot:

a) The main character should be like in the original games, more like a vassel for the player then being a full character on his own.
b) The main character should be an active member of the party and help drive the plot.

Either of those two. The whole "mute" or barely talking thing isn't really something I like in SF, especialy in SF3 when it was ...... a lot, and everyone else was like "ahhhh yes I agree synobis*"

* Or whatever the damn default name is.

4. The Force in Combat:

a) Just like the original, 12 characters in battle and they all reside in headquarters.
b) Scale it up! I want bigger battles and more characters in each battle.

Unless you want it to be 12 just to fit in with the games, theres no reason why you could'nt allow more. Vandal hearts is a good example where all the characters are in each battle (minus those for plot events) and it worked pretty well.

5. Encounters on World Map:

e) Other.

To be honest, I wasn't very big on the whole random battle things, it felt like wasting time sometimes when we could have been doing battles with actual bosses or plot movements. Others probably feel different. If they could be avoided somehow, that'd be cool, but might not exactly work well with the game.

6. Equipment / Items:

a) Just like the original, buy better weapons/accessories in new towns, or find them rarely on monsters.

Crafting systems = ugly. Smithy's are ok though with mythril/dark matter.

7. Promotion:

d) Other.

Depends on how your battle system, battles, and plot play out. A nice clean lv number for everyone would be good, as long as its consistant for all characters.

8. Content (i.e. language/violence/alchohol use/situational)

b) It's okay with me as long as it's not too excessive.

SF3 used two cases of Bastard I believe, and they were done at decent points in the script for them to be in there. Going over the top is just childish.

9. World Exploration (i.e. World Map):

e) Other.

I don't really know what to put on this one either. Linear isn't too bad, theres always extra points for paths in the game.

10. Combat / Strategy:

a) As close to the original as possible. Keep it a square grid system, turns based on character speed.
c) Make it more strategic; add additional land bonuses and new combat maneuvers, make AI more difficult.

If possible, make AI more difficult, but keep it close to the originals.

11. Narsha, Zuika and Mawlock should:

e) Work at burger king for my enjoyment. Zuika wasn't too bad actualy, but the other two were extremely dire.

My motivation, its poor, if not near non-existant.

I looked up your site and noticed you have a guy especialy just for coffee making. You sir, are the king of kings.

What I cant get is why he put the links in english.

This is the most busy its been for years.

I need to steal someones scen 2 + 3 disks sometime, its so frustrating only having the first.

Is this a bad thing?

Nope. Didn't say it was. Only said I missed it not like much happens round here usualy. I feel gutted that I didn't pop in when this thread was created, then I could have thrown in some other witty comment.

what do you think you missed?

A woman on Ye Olde Blah that wasn't whatshername* from thingymagigy** and isn't one of our girlfriends. Although my girlfriend never came on here, because quite frankly she'd have been bored through the utter intellectual conversation that converses here.

* Moogie
** Shiningforcecentral.com

Damn I missed that. That'd have been awesome to watch.

I admittedly cry quite often, I'm an emotional guy and I'm not affraid to admit it. I'll cry at computer games if its got a good enough storyline and something happens to someone I actualy like. Come on, some games deserve to have that moment, its what makes some of them so special.

9/11 is a name for the event, and she uses it as an event name, not as a date.

Yeah I know, I'm just over british
