Greetings, friends...

This is my first RMXP project that I develop with my friends.

Story

Spoiler for:

Enthrea, a suffering planet, disasters are continuing to occur because the pillars of the planet are already fragile.This fragility is caused by the greediness of its residents who are always exploiting the natural resources in Enthrea without doing any preservation.

The people who has been chosen to save the world by the elders of the planet has established a large organization called ZEFON (ZEbadian FOrtifier Nature). ZEFON has a noble purpose to provide energy to keep the planet's pillars from the destruction with an instrument called the ZEFON reactor. This reactor was being watched by several chosen people who called ZEFON ELITIA. They were located in every continent in Enthrea. But after several years of calm, these disasters begin to occur more frequently than before and the planet was become more vulnerable.

Millia, an agent of the organization named SOFRA (Soldiers Organization For Recovery Attemption) was given the task to gather the survivors to start REPRO (Recovery Project). Millia is always tries to find the potential people who want to follow the REPRO, unfortunately a lot of great people in Enthrea refused to follow her.

Finally, in her desperation, Millia was no longer looking for great people to follow the REPRO, she's just trying to find those who voluntarily want to follow it and find some people that want to do it although they have many weaknesses. These people have unique characteristics that made Millia trust them very much. But then they have absolutely no idea for what they should do except several instructions from the Great leader of SOFRA that Millia even hasn't known by herself. These instructions were always sent in weird manners.

Please give us comments about your first impression when you see it and please give me further comment about what you wish for this game.

Thanks...

Looks like you're using XAS. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

Anyway, my only gripe so far are the grammatical errors in the story as well as some of the character descriptions. You've also left things a little too ambiguous in regards to character skills and how they will affect gameplay, and the story doesn't make a lot of sense as-is. I would consider revising those so people like me will better understand what's going down.

That aside, I really like the GUI you've decided to use. It seems clean and easy to use, which I can always appreciate. Your mapping is also quite nice; detailed enough to be easy on the eyes while still being believable. I don't see many games that can accomplish this.

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the music since I'm posting from my phone. I'll be sure to check it out later.

tl;dr - I can dig this.

Thank you very much for your comments and attention, we will try to give the best,
We hope at the end of this month we could provide some playable demo.

Please give us further comments about what do you think for this game.

Eternal Grace Team
Thanks...

This looks like it will be extremely awesome. ^_^
The artwork is beautiful and the music is nicely composed.
Though I'll have to agree with Ryosis on the grammar, and some of the descriptions seem to be a little empty.
But all in all, I like what I'm seeing and I'll definitely keep an eye on this. ^_^

I definetly like the art you've made, there were some grammar errors in the descriptions and the story, but it looks good so far

Yeah, this game looks fantastic. Good luck!

Thank you very much for your comments and advices, we will work hard on the grammar, here's our progress report (you can also see this in the www.eternal-grace.com):
