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...

Arrow · January 16, 2007, 11:23:05 PM

I like the purple text also.

Yami · January 16, 2007, 11:30:20 PM

Thank you

At least I have my cool monocle this time.

Lominisio · January 17, 2007, 10:44:11 PM

From what I've seen they need

of a plot.

Different colored fonts are for chicks and fags.

If I could concordo any harder my lungs would explode.

Blizzard · January 18, 2007, 12:24:28 PM

Why do you say such a mean thing?

We need

minigames!

ataraxy2 · January 18, 2007, 12:32:09 PM

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.

Blizzard · January 18, 2007, 12:56:33 PM

But we DO need

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

ataraxy2 · January 18, 2007, 12:58:17 PM

lyk zomg lozl

I was about to edit my post and mention that!

:shock:

Arrow · January 18, 2007, 01:03:32 PM

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

Moss. · January 18, 2007, 07:56:07 PM

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.

Arrow · January 18, 2007, 09:52:02 PM

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

Moss. · January 18, 2007, 10:14:56 PM

?

What's wrong with it?

P.S. Yours is stretched.

Arrow · January 18, 2007, 10:18:37 PM

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. $:-\$

Moss. · January 18, 2007, 10:19:16 PM

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

SexualBubblegumX · January 18, 2007, 11:39:37 PM

Oh just remembered, RPGs need MOAR Noob Slay3rs.

Moss. · January 28, 2007, 07:55:22 PM

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.

Holkeye · February 01, 2007, 11:23:20 AM

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!

JonathanSodalis · March 16, 2007, 07:28:13 PM

#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.
