Hey guys! So as I slowly approach the release of this new demo, I'm going to be posting info about some of the new party members. First off, it's...



Cyrus Lodestar

Bio: A laid-back, easygoing mercenary who accompanies Lee and Goldo as they head towards Dorent. He loves going to bars, getting plastered, and hitting on the ladies, which usually results in him getting thrown out. Although Cyrus comes across as a drunken fool, he is also an extremely formidable warrior. His nickname among other mercenaries is the "Drunken Swordmaster."

Abilities: Cyrus has been trained in the art of Drunken Kai, a very unique kind of fighting that uses alcohol as a catalyst to unlocking his hidden powers. Depending on the type of alcohol he drinks, Cyrus can take on many forms, which give him new abilities and change his general statistics. However, while he becomes stronger in certain aspects, he also becomes weaker in others. It is up to the player to decide which form is most suitable for the situation.

Here's some examples of a few of his forms:


Mystic
Trigger: Tequila

A form that specializes in black magic. Increases resistance to magic attacks, but decreases to physical.



Berserker
Trigger: Scotch

A form that specializes in dealing physical damage. Greatly increases health and attack, but decreases defense to attacks.



Paladin
Trigger: Vodka

A form that specializes in white magic. Greatly decreases health and attack power, but greatly increases magic.


Cyrus gains new forms by buying new drinks at bars. He can also buy specialty drinks, which can be used to upgrade the abilities of his transformations. These specialty drinks can be acquired by fulfilling certain conditions for the bartender.

Here's a video so you all can see his abilities firsthand:



This also shows off another new addition I've made to the battle system. You may have noticed some elements like Thunder and Ice in the top bar when selecting an enemy. These are the elemental weaknesses of the enemy. After scanning an enemy, their elemental weakness will appear permanently when selecting the enemy, so you don't have to constantly rescan enemies to remember their weaknesses. Thought it might be pretty useful.

Holy macaroons. The battle system looks amazing! I guess those forms would be really useful when you don't have your whole party available to use. Makes for a really versatile character. And the implementation (items) is pretty nice too.

Man, I really want to play this game now. If only I had RM2k3...

You don't really need RM2k3 to play this game, you know.....

Eh? Last time I tried to open the file, it wouldn't play. RM2k3 RTP, maybe?

Yeah that, or you can add this code: FullPackageFlag=1 into the RPG_RT.ini file within the game folder itself. It'll probably be easier to add the code.

Downloading the RTP won't take too long, anyway. Unless it's because you're running in Windows 7...

If it's the case of Windows 7, I can send you all the necessary RTP files in a .rar file. That's if you wanna play it now...or when the demo is out. But of course this option is only if the FullPackageFlag code doesn't work.
I love this!
Just... Paladins aren't supposed to have low Hp and Defense, they're a tank of sorts. Just that they have really low offense and speed (as compared to other classes)
So if you make the paladin frail I'm gonna get mad at you o_ó
