Arlen's List of "Things RPGs Need Moar Of."

MY EYES

I really do think its a waste of time, you know people are used to the normal black, so purples ok, but i dunno i just sometimes think they could just not bother...

I like the purple text also.

Thank you 

At least I have my cool monocle this time.

From what I've seen they need   of a plot.

Different colored fonts are for chicks and fags.

Yami's a girl.

If I could concordo any harder my lungs would explode.

Why do you say such a mean thing?



We need minigames!

I disagree, I always thought minigames distracted the player from the story. (and why would you play a minigame when you have some world saving to do?  ). We need them :p, but not any moar.

But we DO need of puzzles! I <3 Lufia 2 for all the puzzles they've had.

lyk zomg lozl

I was about to edit my post and mention that!

:shock:

Beyond the BEyond was a game with a really neat battle system, and hard puzzles. I want another game like that.

Actually, minigames could be kind of awesome if they incorporated things like the way characters act. If the guy with a temper in your party plays some arcade minigame and loses, he breaks the machine (slices it in half? ) and gets kicked out. Sure, it's not really necessary as part of the story, but it's entertaining and funny.

Arlen your avatar is bugging the living shit out of me. Please fix it.

?

What's wrong with it?


P.S. Yours is stretched.

Antialiasing is not present. You have a white static aura. I hate white static SO MUCH! Please kill it. I posted the on that's fixed in my last.

And yes mine is. But I am not the one who changed it.

that's bullshit. There was no aura when I resized it in photoshop.

Oh just remembered, RPGs need MOAR Noob Slay3rs.

RPG's need moar life. FFXII was a HUGE step in the right direction, but it still lacked life in terms of, like, small animals that you can't/wouldn't attack. Like little birds pecking around on the ground that scatter when you get near. Plants that move when you walk past them. (I tested it on FFXII, and was disappointed when I just walked through the flower and it didn't move at all. )



Dawn of Mana is probably going to be awesome in this respect, because the word is that the environment is extremely interactive.

Moar liek Dawn of Arlen.

The Havok engine meeting the Mana series is like a miracle.

#129... Consequences

Let's face it, I'm as bad as the next rpger... I walk into every house I can and go through the underwear drawers looking for STUFF.  Usually with someone in the room, and they are asking me if I am "looking for the cave that lies to the east?"  Someone comes to my house and looks through MY underwear drawer, I'm going to either snap their knees with a louisville slugger, or cower under my bed dialing 911... depending on which you'll believe!

#731... WTF Conversation
Alright... in real life when I walk up to a total stranger and TOUCH them, they're going to break my nose, tell me to get out of their face, scream, or at the very least, ask me if they can help me.

I would love to stumble upon an rpg village, walk up to someone and hear more than just "welcome to Garadas!" or "I love chocolate."  Occasionally, you get a tidbit of information regarding the quest, but surely we can come up with some more dialogue!  I realize in the standard RPG game there are hundreds of these guys walking around. 

But do they ALL hate chocolate??

I <3 you for that idea.
