Features
*New twist on the battle system: Each character is divided into 3 categories. Striker, Balance or Passive. Striker types regain MP in battle by attacking only. They'll gain 20 MP this way, and are usually more for saving up for a big attack.
Balance types regain 10 MP regardless of what command is used. Their skills tend to cost less but are not usually focused on having a big final attack to use.
Passive types regain 30 MP when you defend. They also start with the most MP in a battle and are Mage-types.

*Encounter Gauge which fills up as you fight encounters (which are seen on the map). Once filled, you can open up a special chest in the area.

*Party changing system

This looks like a good example that old platforms can still provide interesting and quite awesome looking games. The new platform tend to be favoured because of the script usability that allows for quality games with often very little work on the developers side - at the expense of the scripters time naturally. I always enjoy seeing 2k3 games simply because the developer has likely spent a lot of time and effort into creating an event system that actually works.

I'll definitely have to give this a go through.

This looks awesome. Looks like you got some sprites from Bahamut Lagoon; another awesome game by the way.

Yeah that was an enjoyable game. We did decide to get someone to do the facesets for us though so it could look a bit more unique!

Personally I like working with events more than I do scripts, and most people on the team were more familiar with 2k3 so we could do what we wanted to in there than hoping there would be a script for what we wanted in VX! 2k3 is fun, I wish more people still used it...

Hmm, looks very promising, but do I have to install a font?  The text looks different.

The font is different, you can install the FF6.fon file in the project folder but it's not exactly the same as we used previously. Mostly because I had to change the exe file and I forget which font I used before!
