Dragon Fantasy


Story:
Many years ago a great entity of sin emerged from the darkest depths of the world and tried to cover eveyone and everything in perpetual darkness. Darkness covered the land, causing the seas to rage, the forests to wither and the earth to decay. However, as from where the darkness was born there also came light: Born from the planet it's self came four great crystals of light. This light shone through the darkness and caused the entity of sin to return to the nothingness whence it came. The crystals bore themselves back into the depths of the earth and then began to sleep, protecting all from the darkness of the world. After the darkness had receeded, the light slowly began to return to the world. The people regained hope and begin to rebuild what they had lost.

Now, many years after this incident, the story of the great darkness and the light in which broke it's grasp upon the world has been handed down to the newer generation. As the crystal slowly began to re-awaken, a child was born within the village of Yur. This child bore the sign of a saint and was a token of light for the villagers. Now, in order to test his heart, courage and strength he has been guided into the Crystal Caverns in order to receive the crystal's blessing.




Gameplay:
The gameplay is to be sort of reminicent to old, NES-type RPGs (Dragon Quest/Warrior 2,3 and 4 and Final Fantasy). It has a standard turn-based battle system in which both you and your party exchange blows with the enemy. It uses RPG maker 2000's default battle system and it is front-view. There is indeed no fancy battle animations, and there are only small battle backgrounds in which I think seem to fit more than a black screen.


Maps:
The mapping is supposed to be reminicent to that of NES-type RPG's such as Final fantasy 1-3 and Dragon Quest/Warrior. Nothing is too detailed, nor is it too simplistic. If your looking for the best mapping around, don't come here.

Thank you. Enjoy.

I was sure I had played this and commented in it before. I know I played it. Anyway, this is an excellent game, very reminiscent of NES and actually a lot of fun. I recommend it highly.

And indeed you did play it. Still, I re-posted to let some of the newer people come upon it.

Anyway, the dialouge is not as skimpy as it once was. Well, it's still not talking-heavy like most games, but there is a nice bit more talking in there than there was last time.

New Screenshot: World Map

Ha ha XD. Possibly the most horrible thing I've ever put together in paint. I couldn't take a full shot at the world map from Dragon Fantasy so I had to do it in sections and fit them in accordingly.

This is only above halfway of the world map  :ph34r:
Don't worry, it's not all that big (and it's rather linear, to boot).


World Map

(I suggest you "Zoom in" or else it will look like a horrible mess.)

Is this game as much of a grinder as DQ?

Hm? Well, it is definitly not as much of a grinder as any Dragon Quest game, you but still have to level up to get through most places. That, or you just have to fight lots of enemies to make gil for better equipment. The way it is now in the demo is as easy as I will ever allow it to get.

weeeeeeeee kinda like the dragon quest i use to play on famicomp

Indeeeed. However, I've gotten people saying it more looks like a GBC game than a NES game >.>


Also, the story (unlike the Original versions/ first demos) is now much more improved. Well, i hope so, at least. Not many people will tell me. Lol.

(Not here, but basically everywhere I post it <.<)
