[COMMUNITY PROJECT] MISSIONGARDE -- CLASS REFINING IN PROGRESS

Here is a better point... after playing 15 hours and you party of 4 warriors has decimated everything... BUT one thing. One thing you just can't beat even with all of the herbs and potions in the world. Then starting a party from scratch you would feel like those 15 hours are wasted.

Starting over with a Cleric would mean grinding hours without a story to compell you, cause you've already gone through the story.

Why not have 4 male 4 female... but the player character you chose the gender, so instead of 8, its 9 or is that too much? That way the player can put themselves into the role better.

Hm, I think the plot should be from the party' eyes not just the Hero's. Dialouge is also very hard for this between the party, because every game is different with different characters. I think a group of silent party might be good, if were going true old school style. We really don't need to focus on story that much either. I think a good your thrusted into it and NPCs do all the talking is good. Taking Final Fantasy I for example. AS your characters I believe don't talk at all.

If only 2k3 let us swap classes in the midst of battle.

ALSO: How does everyone feel about a custom EXP award system, where higher level characters get less from a given monster than lower level characters - maybe even to a point where certain monsters stop giving EXP once a certain level is reached.

This way, that level 1 cleric won't take 5 hours to grind to level 30.

Story-wise, I was thinking that it would be pretty neat if the Playable Characters in Missiongarde were a team of operatives secretly established by the King to:

1. Negate the efforts of Parliament, who are struggling to preserve Missiongarde's social order (and all its injustices) by undermining the King's legislation

2. Dispel the tensions building up around the borders of the Kingdom perpetrated by individuals both mundane and arcane

3. Protect the life of the King at all costs!

This would be a pretty good excuse for the party to do things like fight evil lichlords, participate in epic battles or, I don't know, take on the entire Parliament in an 8 on 8 battle (which is impossible in the RPG Maker engine but would still be incredibly awesome). It would also make the player feel like a badass from the start, which is fairly superior to having to defeat about a thousand rats in somebody's basement for the privilege.

Whipped this EVERVESCENT AWESOMENESS up in five minutes flat (and it shows):
