THE SCREENSHOT TOPIC RETURNS

@Liberty: I was thinking of using your staircase too, but that lends to problems in itself in the style of map I was going for I think (which means I had those diagonal railings on the sheet for nothing lol...). I'm debating if I should keep the bottom left room the way it is with the entrance since none of my other entrances in buildings are like that personally (it's nice asthetically though).

Hmm....that sounds kinda like what I did with the upper floor. The map is large, but the east wing and west wing are not connected by hallways, they're just on the same map. That hallway will be dreadfully boring if it's by itself though but oh well I suppose~

Yeah, that dining area is a bit of a pickle for me. I did have one big table in there and a couple smaller ones, but I think (and Locke pointed this out to me) that one of my issues with mapping tends to be that I want to keep the original design and layout while fixing up the maps (as you could probably tell by the original front foyer and probably from the bottom floors right now). I don't know, I just like where the exits are for the most part (that, and I don't wanna deal with moving events around. THAT part gives me headaches enough as it is ;_; ).

@Sana: What! Y...yer yanking my chain, right? Right!? D: But in all seriousness, I have completely scrapped maps before (including some that I redid. For instance, the 100x100 cave room that became the 40x40 lava room that you had to jump from rock to rock to). There's a few others right now that'll need completely redone from scratch but alas, I don't have to worry about them too much because 1) Cave and 2) Hardly any events in them thank god. ^^;

Ok, I so recognise that logo. Wasn't that from a rm2k3 game?

Looks great though, love the rock texture =).

Edit: So it was, just found it at my harddrive =). Though it was rm2k not 2003 XD.

ahh trujin your still around!

Well actually I just came back after a 3 year break from gamemaking =D. It's a bit confusing how oldskool members changed their nicknames though XD.

I'm so going to lose track of all those statuses and elements XD.

You have so much room, please don't abbreviate the ailments on this screen

you seem so keen on abbreviating words to five letters

why don't you abbreviate your game to five elements

author=Karsuman
no don't you see craze and chaos enemies that are weak to ghost damage are strong to gravity because ghosts are ethereal and don't care

also enemies with large ears are weak to 'thndr' because loud noises are scary

ps. please remove at least half of your elementals, no one will miss them

half your elementals DIED FOR YOUR SINS

I actually didn't make this so I didn't abbreviate anything. But they are what they are...he did make a template for this, so it's easy to change things here and there if need be (and no, I'm not actually going to remove elements because no real reason to do so).

Due by 11:59 PM on thursday, and make sure it is double-spaced and the citations follow APA guidelines

Well obviously the main issue is that some of the elements just aren't used at all (Wind, Water, Poison, Gravity, and Holy just to name a few are never used but in like...a couple spells, and maybe using Elemental with some very specific materia, and even then there's hardly any enemies weak to it to make it worth using) in the FF series.

So you have four characters on your team at a time and each one has a single element, and twice as many elements as FF, and you somehow think this is going to fix the problem of the player not having access to elements?

author=Xenomic
Of note, some of those "elements" are more like slayers in a way. They're just a way to inflict more damage to a specific type of enemy (youkai are generally weak to Exorcism, ghosts are weak to Ghosts despite the fact they themselves use Ghost attacks). Things like that.

That is what all elements are. That is the definition of an element. An attribute that deals more damage to specific enemies.

author=Xenomic
Some characters have access to more than just one element, mind you.

assuming your spells are firagaga (as they most likely are...), this serves zero purpose

Monsters weak to George's elements are weak to George, no matter which of his fire/blizzard/thunder they happen to be weak to. This literally only serves to waste 1-3 of the player's turns the first time they fight that monster.
