Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Remake

I recently finished final fantasy mystic quest. The game play was average, but the story wasn't good... at all! I looked at the game and knew there could have been much more potential in it. Though the creators put no back ground on the characters or anything. Literally most of the conversations where 'Help! Evil man is that way!' Hero: okay!' I think the most I've gotten on that game was a 5 box conversation...

Then it dawned on me! I'll remake the game! So now on to my project:


Storyline

Spoiler for:

The storyline is going to be changed just a little but not a lot.

"The world of Vana Diel  is protected by 4 crystals. (Earth Fire Water and Wind) Each crystal serves as a source to something to the world. When the crystals fall into someones hands, they have the power to controle that element. Humans fought for this power, only to see world destruction close at bay. One man stood above them all and spoke out to them. After long hours, everyone agreed to place the crystals away and never to fight for power. Sadly history finds it's ways of repeating it self again. The Dark King (I would rename him but I guess I'll keep his name the same) secretly built his army of minions and took the crystals for his own power. Though he wasn't able to controle the magic surge. This leaves us where the game begins. At the Hill of Destiny...

Characters

Spoiler for:

Arlin
Bio: He is the main hero of the game. When world destruction began, his home was the first to go. Not knowing why he is the 'chosen' he travels to find anyone to answer his questions.

Kaeli
Bio: She is not a normal child. Kaeli was born with the power to talk to the plants and the earth. When she was young though, that power got out of hand. (Find out more in the demo)

Jack
Bio: He was Kaeli's closest friend when they were younger. Even while everyone else shunned Kaeli, he never turned her away. Jack is a very intelligent kid, but never acts on his own. He always needs someone to 'back him up'.

Phoebe
Bio: Daughter of a great engineer. She also is a adept in being able to handle magic. Even though she is strong in magic, it was not enough. She is imprisoned by one of the Dark King's minions.

Features

Spoiler for:

*Magic Fusion System*
In this game, not only do you learn spells by finding them, you can also fuse spells to make new and more powerful spells. This, however, isn't easy for even after you have 2 spells/skills that can be combined. You need to find the proper person to fuse the spells.

*Delay*
In the game from level 1-99 your Agility is set at 30. Certain weapons have different delay on them and will effect your speed in battle. For example, Kaeli's Fransisca has -5 Agi because it's a bigger and more powerful weapon. This will slow her down a little bit in battle. While Arlin's sword has no effect on agility. This is because his delay is 'Normal'. So make sure the delay is worth the stats before you equip a weapon.

A few notes:
*I'm not the best speller in the world D: So this is bound to be a few spelling mistakes in the game.
*I'm going to be gone for the next few days. I just wanted to put up the game just to see what people think.
*The battle sprites are dummy sprites at the moment. (Trust me, it will be better when I have time to sprite some stuff)
*Mapping wise, yes it will get better. I just placed a few things down. This demo is just to see if people like the whole idea.
 

hahaha, Mystic Quest was like one of the first rpgs I played. Good work, hope you finish it~

I wish you all luck in the world. Often when you remake a game that already exist, you have to live up to it. What I mean, is that you need to do much work on it, so it dosen't suck, compare to the original. So I wish you good luck.

added 'features' and some screenies. Also I edited some stuff because I was half asleep when posting the topic @_@
and those who played the demo, yes that is a talking save point at the beginning >_> I still haven't gotten around to editing a sprite to look like the old guy.

Wow, it looks good.
Ill have to look at Mystic Quest to get a feel for comparison.

Can I help in any way?

Oh, and it would look better if you showed the mountain fall.

Ignore the old man that appears out of nowhere... >_>

I have an idea of another way of doing this.

I'm back from camping and so far today I've been working on Kaeli's Battle sprite. So far I have a okay sprite of Kaeli's Idel stance. Also I down sized them so they don't take up half the screen lol.



Made a video of Kaeli's Basic functions. I will add more skills/spells once I finished the hero's battler.

That's a giant axe she's holding so daintily

Can I help in any way?

So... yes/no?

This is RM2K3, I take it?

Also, the hero's default name is Benjamin, not Arlin.

I'll download the demo and play later.

Hmm, the version I have has a blank name slate at the start and won't let you continue till you put a name, so I just chose arlin.

So... yes/no?

I'll PM the details, sorry for the delay :x

How's it going?

no where =/ I have almost 0 time for this >_< pretty much this is my daily schedule:
*Wake up, go to school, go directly to work (only get 25mins from the dismissal till I have to be at work), work till 7pm, go home do homework and by that time it's 9pm+ and I practically am half asleep.

I've been talking to my boss about my hours but looks like he still plans on making me do 6/7 days per week.... I'm like a walking zombie ;_; but I will let you all know when I (if ever) get time to work on this project.
