Story

spoiler

After the long ending Lion War, 20 years later, the people of Ivalice grow tired of the ruling under the crown once again. Food and clean water have become scarce, disease has spread, and many people have started to rebel, the King has surrounded himself with his men for protection. With the many heads of regions gone, new house families have taken their place, trying to keep equality within their people. Everyone now knows of the Brave Story, and the power of the Holy Stones, which have gone missing from the continent entirely since the Lion War, according to the Church.

PS : I've replaced Ramza with Luso just so I can see a different character. :P It's just a placeholder.

[Jumza]

Awesome work Koruten, I'm looking forward to playing!
(I'll be around on irc if you need more help!)

[Koruten]

Thanks Jumza.

Here is a preview of Scene 3.

Also, I'll probably release a patch when I finish Chapter 1.

EVENTS
EVENT 004 is complete. Will need some tweaking.

[Koruten]

Here is event 04. Agrias and Ramza are placeholders.

[Jumza]

Nice stuff. I'll post some crits on the event, but this looks like a lot of fun!

Start -
You might move that camera up a little. The characters of focus aren't really -in- focus, if you know what I mean. Don't go high enough to make Teioh's message display over his sprite though (with the arrow pointing at no one).

When Ramza runs in and the camera moves to him use WaitForInstruction(x04,x00) to wait for the camera to finish before Ramza's dialog box opens. Otherwise (as you can see) it moves along the screen with the camera and looks a little strange.

Teioh say's "I'll let her go when you give us we want!"

End -

No crits on the event part of this, but maybe in Ramza's one message use 1 question mark instead of two. Though that's entirely my personal preference

Nice work dude.

[Koruten]

1 ) I actually had the camera focus on Ramza and Agrias, but after seeing it, it doesn't really make much sense during the dialogue. I will fix this.

2 ) And yes, I forgot that. Haha.

3 ) I didn't even notice the typo. o-o Thanks for pointing that out.

4 ) I could remove it. Generally nothing of a big issue.

Nothing wrong with the battle? If not, excellent. I did fix the agro problem that you helped me with on the IRC, so thanks for that. ^^

[Pride]

Keep up the work sir! If you see me on irc, I'm usually willing to help like I was the other day

[Koruten]

Very very small update.

I decided to buff the spellswords attacks a bit.


Fire = Darkness, Lightning = Silence, Ice = Slow

[Koruten]

Some ability gifs yay.



And something odd



(It's always this attack that seems to have issues :S)

((The game also softlocked after the theif fell back down))

[Jumza]

It's too bad that the game froze after that because zapping people out / into existence is cool
But yeah I have no idea what would cause that. :/

[Koruten]

[Jumza]

Progress! Nice work man, glad to see you get back into the swing of things!

I love the dialog between the Female Knight and the Female Monk Nice job!

Here are some crit's:

spoiler: critiques

The camera at the beginning kinda jumps from point to point, try blending consecutive cameras together with the CameraFusionStart and End commands! It sometimes looks great, sometimes not so much :P

Maybe have the Female Knight on the bridge look at the blue knight when the text box opens, but then turn back as she starts walking onto the hill instead of after. Otherwise she just kind of stares off into blank space.

You have to wait for the camera to stop before opening text boxes! Specifically, "What is it, Echo?"

The back and forth camera between the two ladies could be seen as a little rough, but for some reason it doesn't bother me that much. I love the dialog there :P

The March instruction at the end could go a bit faster.

Awesome stuff! I'm curious, is this the new first battle? I thought the blue and pink knights were in Zarghidas (unless this is way later on in the story :o)
