This is just a game i wanted to share with the community. This was not created by me. It was created by my relatives, JerryRPGer and Ripken, though some others helped. I'm posting this because I just wanted to see how their game is viewed, and I do have their permission to post it. I recommend reading the README file in the download. This game was finished in 2010, but there are still many bugs. Some of the bugs can not be fixed due to the engine, and some are just there due to not being found (usually minor bugs). Personally I haven't beat it yet, due to it taking 30-50 hours to beat. Haha.

To play, RPGMAKER XP RTP is needed.



Story

Dragon Saga V's storyline takes place about a year and a half after Dragon Saga IV. There are many returning characters and some new ones as well. The story opens
up with the transferring of a prisoner. However, the prisoner escapes, thanks to an unusual circumstance. Soon enough the prisoner, now a fugitive, realizes that
he is caught up in a world of chaos, overloads, corruption, greed and oppression, but he had already made a promise to an old acquaintance to deliver a shocking truth to the leaders of his captures. There will be new discoveries, friends, foes, love, hatred and most important, many stories to uncover in Dragon Saga V: One Sent Worth.



Background

The prequel, Dragon Saga IV, was created on RPG Maker 2K and was released back in
the early 2000s. Dragon Saga V came into fruition some time in 2007. With the newest RPG Maker coming out at that time, RPG Maker XP, the YangRPG team decided to start working on the next Dragon Saga game. The latest edition of Dragon Saga was completed in 2010.

Here are some Pros and Cons to Dragon Saga V.

Pros

- War Battles
- Weapon Shard Upgrade System
- Item Trading
- Battle Stats Award System
- Story Select System
- ATB system
- over 80+ characters (some are pretty useless)
- 40+ hours (30 hours if you decide to rush)
- 30 floor deep dungeon (collect random items)

Cons

- Battle animations need more work
- Long battles (not many random battles though)
- Slow start (game really begins about 5 hours in)
- Battle system needs a tutorial
- A lot of RTP Graphics
- Music comes from a lot of Commercial RPG video games

Enjoy!

When you said slow, you weren't kidding! Just out of curiosity, what is your native language? The dialogue in the text intro is really awkward, and poorly written. I so wish the game started you on Serpent Mountain instead of that ridiculous intro. Once the game actually starts it's fine though. I really like how cinematic the cutscene on the bridge was, and how it and introduces a decent early antagonist. I’m gonna stick with it for now, but no promises.

I love the art too. Just look at this friggin joker, and tell me you don't love his face.

Lol, yeah the game's intro is ridiculously slow. My, or our, native language is Hmong. It falls under the Asian category. Yeah, the art is very unique from others.
Hi,the game is pretty good!! I like the graphics,the storyline and the awards system. The only thing is how the action bar works on the battle system. I want to say that i encoutered a bug right when the battle with the giant rat ends. Right after the battle the game crashes. Can you fix it?

Yeah, I'll try to fix it. May I have the information about what the crash message was?
And the action bar as in the commands a character is allow to do, or as in the speed of the character's turn?

Well it's ok now, when i played again to see what the message was the game didnt crash. Guess it was a one time thing. Concerning the action bar, i think that the bar doesn't synchronize with the battle very well. You see, the bar stops when you choose a command but it begins when the command is executed. The battle speed is a little slow and this ends up on all actions stacking up at some points. I beleive it would be better if the bar stopped until the command was executed.

Yeah the battle speed is slow, so all I can say is try to skip some battles. Not all battles are meant to be played. In the game there is really no "grinding" required because all characters have one level... unless you want to count Weapon Levels as the character's level.

When I play the battles, the action bar seems to be on a Semi-Wait system. For example, the ATB will stop when choosing commands, and it will go during battle animations and when people are waiting for their turns. Thing about that though is that, when someone is attacking, you can not choose your commands and you have to wait till the attacker is done. But I believe if the ATB where to stop until the commands were executed, then it would make the battles even slower. And I don't really know how to increase the speeds.

lolz, I'm getting pissed at Mike's conversation with the group, when it end and his explantations, my brain.
I played dragon saga IV a while back and that was a good game so I'll give this game a shot, by the way if anyone wants to play dragon saga IV (which I reccomend you do since it's a great game) you can find it here :
http://www.queenscourt.org/othergames.php (just scroll down the page til you find dragon saga IV)
What is the difference between slip and deflect? What is fizz? What does link and focus do? What is apr? Does swing make every characters attack better? Does recover help every character and how so? When I level weapons it says I gain shards but Im not gaining them to throw on weapons, so I was wondering what that was all about? Either way this game is great. Very nice job.

Swing only effects people who have the "Swing" command. Swing allows the person to do more attacks.
When your weapon levels up, it gains a shard slot for a specific status. Shards can be gained through trading or rare drops through enemies.

Recover effects the speed after using a skill. Mainly physical types.

I don't know what some of the stats do, but I explained a majority of them on the screenshot of Blone's stats.
Yep thanks for the info hmongician.

I just uploaded some tutorials just in case if you need any other question you need to ask.
Hope it helps.

I'm before that part, because I can't defeat the ghosts. Now I forgot what I'm suppose to do. Something about going west, I don't know.

The mage is at the west side of the "Half Valley Moon Inn." That's the place where Mai comes in and tries to kill the princess. You'll have to go though a cave and cliff. Once you do, you just go straight up the closes building you see.

Yeah the battle with the ghost, you're just supposed to keep on attacking until the events start to happen. Then it'll tell you to go west to go find the white mage.
