the Legend of Zero:

Info:
Zero, a young man of a mere 17 years, lives in a small village with his parents and his older brother. His brother sets out on an adventure, or so he tells his parents and brother. But really, he has plans of his own in mind. Shortly after his departure from the village, his body is returned, as he was apparently ambushed and killed by a pack of bandits not far from his destination. The story begins with Zero 1 year after these events, seeking justice on the bandits. During the opening scene, you view one of Zero's childhood friends, a Fairy, who lives in a cave at the local graveyard. The fairy has three sisters, which can join your party a little bit later on in the game, should you choose to help them.

Game Rating: T for Teen

Characters:
There isn't a lot of info about the characters, but what there is is explained within the opening to the game. There are 7 playable characters total, so the game would require 2 play throughs to use them all.

Villains:
There are four main villains within the game, one encountered earlier within the game while the rest are each encountered later on. Only two of them, however, really seem like villains, as the others aren't in the game for that long.

Download Link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/38b117okxf7qq6a/Legend_of_Zero.exe

Scripts Used:
Too many, there were a ton! (And I saved them with different names than the originals so I remembered what they did)

Script Credits:
BIG thanks to KCG (or KGC, I've seen it both ways), Zylos, Modern Algebra, Jens009, Leongon, Jet10985, Falcao, Synthesize and Blackmorning.

Screenshots are in posts 20, 21 and 22, and there is no demo, the game is completed.

Bug Fix notes:

- there was a minor bug fix, this is the new download link.

- More bug fixes, download link changed again.

- another bug fix, download link changed once more

- another major fix, did some re-tuning and buffing, etc.

*****THE GAME HAS NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED, I ONLY FULLY PLAYED THROUGH IT ONCE, SO IT IS LIKELY BUGS WILL BE FOUND. IF/WHEN ONE IS FOUND, PLEASE REPORT IT EITHER IN A PM TO ME, OR HERE ON THE THREAD*****

Oh, so this game IS finished. Alright, I'll play a bit more of it then and come back with that snazzy feedback.

FEEDBACK EDIT:
The mapping could use a little more detail especially the church and the Merchant Caravan, but the story is well told. When I got into battle and heard that Tales of Phantasia tune I cried (jk) my favorite jrpg of all time, actually in the forest outside of town there was the Tales of Phantasia Overworld Theme. The talent system is really cool as well. The colored item text is a nice addition as well. The experience, though, was a bit high, I leveled to 4 after 4 fights. And I remember getting a Game Over in the daytime when I went back home, It seems pretty unnecessary (maybe I didn't read everything as I didn't know that would happen). It took me a while to find out I needed to chop down that tree in the forest, but it's a nice little puzzle and the water bucket part was cool too. Another problem is that you begin with a ton of money, allowing you to buy all the best armor at the start of the game, which results in enemies doing little to no damage. I slammed the Living Fire by spamming the Ice Attack then using the insanely OP icy regeneration. So, that's about it, I'm still playing the game atm.

it's intended that way really, it's the beginning of the game. if you're not a retard, you'll pick the best stuff and know what to get.
The church serves not overly significant purpose, nothing special there, lol
yeah, I jizzed at the thought of using ToP and Golden Sun music, amazing games. Exp begins insanely high then slows way the hell down.

Try the beginning again going melee enhancement, I promise it isn't as easy.

Oh, and yeah dude, I'm fucking awful at map construction, if you couldn't tell.

That's not how it works. I know that I'm not downloading your game anytime soon because your post is ill-made. I don't care how far into development this is (if it's finished, it shouldn't be in New Projects) because I, being human, judge things by how I see them first. Make a good first show of the project, you'll get so much more help and support.
it's like a metaphor or something i don't know

This game sounds good so I'm trying it however, usually when I play an RM game they start off WAY to hard for me, or use the classic battle system which I dislike because of it's uglyness and lack of skill required. I'm going to try it and give you feedback sometime soon.  :D

I'm not attacking you, I'm offering you advice. This is an exaggeration, but people won't get your game if the OP says:

Trust me, using the post templates attract more potential downloads, critique and support.

I don't have expectations, but you're going to lose a lot of potential plays by having a shitty initial post. Unless your game looks like shit, then its probably a good idea to not give too much information.

Rep:

RMRK Junior
yeah, I'll probably go back and change it and make it better once I get most of the bugs worked out of the game itself, don't want it to look super amazing and awesome and then have people reporting bugs left and right and lose interest because it looked cool but had a fuck ton of bugs in it. I'm not planning on including a whole lot of information about it, but I'll write a little about the story and main character.

I fixed my opening post, and I updated the download link again with another bug fix.

Just got back to my game and revamped it a bit, made a few changes and a few bug fixes. If anyone is interested in playing through it, please let me know and please give any feed back you may have.

WARNING: This game was ALREADY finished,  I just went and did a few bug fixes and minor changes, the maps still look fairly bad, as this is/was my first game, I have no intention of overhauling the entire game to update or change it, it's been done and is remaining done. If you are disappointed with anything, please bring it to my attention and I'll try my best to make it better in the next game. There is a sequel in the works and it's hinted at very slightly at the conclusion of this one.

Download link is up to date!

Just turn on the game, press Print Screen, copy and paste into Paint, then shrink the size down to your game window and upload the screenshot. There's other ways of course, but I think you need to visually display the game

Can you make an approximation of the length of this game. So I can balance it in my Rpg schedule?
