Black Tortoise of the North- Symbol of Winter
Vermillion Bird of the South- Symbol of Summer
Azure Dragon of the East- Symbol of Spring
White Tiger of the West- Symbol of Autumn

As they correspond, might it be Strengthens? This could make it quite useful for the Esper Blades, association with the Seasons as well. Of course this kind of contradicts that with the SpellBlades being a Two Handed weapon, therefore a shield's not a real possibility in that respect, hmm...

I stand by name Shield of the Four.

If you decide that it should strengthen elements, will they (are they gods?) correspond to the classical elements?

Black Tortoise of the North- Symbol of Winter, Strengthen Water
Vermillion Bird of the South- Symbol of Summer, Strengthen Fire
Azure Dragon of the East- Symbol of Spring, Strengthen Earth
White Tiger of the West- Symbol of Autumn, Strengthen Wind (Air)

[LastingDawn]

Yes, that seems appropriate, I never really was a fan of the 108 Gems strengthening Everything under the sun, also this allows the lesser elements to shine a slight bit more, with the only main Element present being Fire.

Yes, they're the four Eastern gods.

(Try not to get distracted as I am; why must you be so alluring when I am weary of Wikipedia, TVTropes?!)

[LastingDawn]

TVtropes got you too, eh? They got me too earlier today, I never knew FF4 fell into... so many of them.

[psp master]

You haven't made the playable demo yet?

[Smitson]

Very excited for playable demo!!!

Great work LD.

[LastingDawn]

Thanks Smitson, but along with 1.3027 this demo cannot be released without text edits, without them it is nearly unplayable. Nearly everything is set up by this point though.

With the new texteditor out, any chance of it coming out?

[PX_Timefordeath]

So it's coming out soon? YATTA!!!!!!!!!!!

[LastingDawn]

Eh? Who said that? I'm currently working to get everything looking right, all the placeholder sprites ready and using my Highly limited artistic ability to make something that looks even Slightly like claws and cards, let me tell you, the attempts so far have not been pretty, also I wonder if I should wait for Razele's Maintenance/MP Break hack.

Other then that, basically everything else is done.

[boomkick]

My i can't wait to play this when your done with everything LD

Everything else is basically done for the demo or full game?

[SilvasRuin]

I suspect he means for the demo, although if by some off chance he does mean full game, I'll be ecstatic.

[Arvine]

Im a freaking retard king yay

[Smitson]

Wasnt there a demo released in August or something? Of the lionwar?

[LastingDawn]

That was a video Demo that's really it. It was before we really knew a lot about events, it was just basically using the scripts to Zirekile, but that is where I hade the revelation on what in battle events were and what all the other "junk data" in the event file was incidentally.

[Cheetah]

Hey LD, can I post a youtube vid of the Dorter event I did for you? I now of the capability of doing pretty good recordings and I have been itching to show it off for a really long time. I will make the combat fast so that it isn't a focus of the preview.

[LastingDawn]

Certainly, feel free Cheetah, and as always thank you for your assistance.

[jimmyjw88]

Ah...So demo is coming out soon? ^^
