Storyline
In the beginning there was nothing. Space and time lay dormant until streaks of light swept across the universe and through this power the earth was created. Together, the eight goddesses brought life to this earth and by fusing their elemental powers together they gave laws and order to the world beneath them.
 
As the very world they created sprung to life they created the heavens. A place for living beings to shed their physical bodies and ascend into a world of pure energy. As the earth got more and more populated the goddesses formed the Council of Ages to protect and watch down on the earth.
 
However, some of the goddesses did not approve of this council and fled into the farthest corners of the very world they created. Since then the world was ruled by the four remaining goddesses, watching from their haven, looking over the world.
 
As the earth progressed through time many lands where formed. Vast oceans and tall mountains. Soon after these lands where claimed by many people. Once such kingdom was formed by Denithil. Claiming the land after his family name, he founded his side of the world and called it Myneria.
 
Through the ages he ruled his people with peace and love, and so his followers built a great civilization to live in. Over time the goddesses blessed the king with three wondrous sons who would continue Denithil’s ruling over the kingdom he created.
 
But all was not well in this land, years later an evil swept over the fields and forests of Myneria. An army ready to take this land from the hands of its rightful king. Denithil retaliated. He summoned his great army and his three sons who trained to become mighty warriors into battle.
 
Many lives where lost but the war was won, the evil army was defeated, but at the cost of one of the sons who went missing in battle. Unable to find him amongst the chaos the king had no choice but to let go. The third son was presumed dead and forever mourned a hero of Myneria.
 
Now the land settles back into peace, its people just starting to grasp the taste of life once again... until the next threat that passes among them.

Yeah, Final Fantasy tactics NEVER did that before

tactics wasnt true turn based, it was one of those horrible grid based, chess, battleship system type deals, and for that i never played it

i thrive to utalize what the engine was really meant for, classic turn based system. if everyone uses abs scripts and all that, mine as well use another engine

this looks rather interesting, and so i shall be interested.

Stop pretending to be revolutionary, and i shall like it more

well im happy to see you guys are more friendly about it then other forums, and i will be looking over more mapping tutorials to try and make it better, note those are only 2 maps, im sure it will look better when i give it more variety

thanks for the feedback


I have been getting lots of great comments on the site though, thats one thing im happy to keep as is

tactics wasnt true turn based, it was one of those horrible grid based, chess, battleship system type deals, and for that i never played it

it's called a tactics battle system, don't slander something just because you don't like it.

i thrive to utilize what the engine was really meant for, classic turn based system. if everyone uses abs scripts and all that, might as well use another engine

if scripting wasn't meant to be used, then they would not have allowed us to script.

Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 3, need I go on?  It's not a first.

Honestly, the maps are kinda bland, I'd work on that, and the story seems a bit cliche but it's just a backstory so I can see how the game itself might not be.

Work on the mapping, and please stop pretending like nobody has done any of this in a game before.  You'll get much more positive replies.

I think it sounds pretty good. Keep up the good work. The maps have room for improvement, but they're good enough not to be a serious detriment to trying the game out. The one with the well is pretty empty though.
