Custom made menu
Various stat boosting common event sequences
Puzzles to solve
Minigames

Hi thanks for your post you have highlighted issues that i havent covered in my intial post:
As you can select the main characters class, he or she is open to any class you want to pick.

There is no bard class as such in this game as the main character needs to remaster his musical ability throughout the game due to an happening that is shown in the beginning of the game.

Regardless of the job you pick for the main characteryou will still be able to use item's such as "Forgotten Heartpiece Guitar" to play a song that triigers a party members memory. Therefore boosting their attack power due to a memory of anger

Never thought of a character recruiting mini game, thanksfor your input, I could create something like that for certain party members

Your mapping is a little bit empty, but it's a good start.

And I don't like that you are using Aluxes( Arthes, what now his name is) as your main character. Most people use him in their games.

By the way Blackshadow his name is Arshes now hun x

he isn't the main character that model is merely on the title screen, as you can see the whole point of character select is to pick the model you want to use theres loads of choices for the "main character"

Mapping??? what mapping, the screens are to show some of the functions of the game if you read top post, thats not what the final maps are going to be like at all

Sorry then. My mistake

[Jazzanova]

For my game i'm trying to create a long  river based map, where the player can only go in certain parts of the water to "sail" across, the idea is i want to place lots of whirlpools around the water, that if the players touches them, it will take them to another map downstream and the player will have to start over. Also particular whrilpools will contain hard monserts to fight for better equipment. Aswell as islands with npc's on

So has anyone know where i can get an event graphic i could use for a whirlpool please?
Feel free to give opinions on the idea

So i was looking for a Whirlpool that u could possibly use, which seems to me to be impossible to find, i did however have another idea that is the same as you jus a slightly different concept,   

how about using rocks in the water instead of whirlpools.. i found a autotile with rocky water but i dunno how that will look.. u could however jus put ordinary rocks in the water and put and event on every rock so if u crash into the rock you get battled by an enemy harder than regular enemies making it so that the challenge is to avoid all rocks...
