Phantasia 5

First off, lemme say thanks for the feedback on the video I posted last week, definitely gave me some good input on where I should go next, appreciate it.

Next up, I wanna get a title screen up and running, and like my traditional Phantasia Series fashion, I usually like having someone make the title screens because I always like the designs people make for my title screens.

I will mostly leave it to the designer on how it's made, my only request on there is to add 8 orbs or something in a octagon type thing represent the elements fire, ice, thunder, earth, light, dark, space and time. The colors for space and time would be interesting though, I'm open for suggestion as to what color they would be, though you could add a unique effect or something representing those too... iono.

Well, thanks to anyone who'll help with this. :D

Hey guys, Jaymonius here with a new screenshot or two to show off to ya'll. Lettin' you all know that the game is in progress, slowly but surely, it's moving along. Got a few NPC's sprited. Gotta sprite the heroes charsets though, and I have at least 1 two more hero battlers to sprite as well, I'm just having a bit of a hard time to think of a design for the last character(s). Semi-hard anyway. I got a good idea, but eh.

Elsewhere, more battle screens. Man, if there is one thing I wish I could have is have like a 2D/3D battle screen, like Mana Khemia's battle system, oooooh, that'd be gold, but hey, I use what I can work with.

Anyway, enough dill dallying, here is a new screenshot... or two. :P


Oooh, looks like Yumi has inherited one attack from P5. This skill actually has alternate versions as well. If you use this attack on a flying enemy, she will skip one part of her animation, but will also do a lot more damage to said flying enemy. So use it whenever you see aerial enemies.

And what we have here is Zack using a complex animation! ZOMG! Epic attack! But not a finisher attack! However, another thing that also exists this time, which I'm actually surprised a lot of games don't implement this, the weight of enemies, so some attacks don't exactly have good effects depending on the enemy. So once again, the attack will change depending on what type of enemy you're battling. Such as an immovable enemy or a very heavy enemy like say a dragon, or a final boss or Jaymonius... "HEY! I AM NOT THAT HEAVY!"

Well, that's all from me for now. Thanks for readin'!

Hey peeps, it is I, the monius, random rantings and wondering on how I how I can make the graphic direction for P6 turn out. I'm wondering if I should use the regular FSM charsets or use the Tales of sprites like I did with PR, P2R, and P5?

I don't have much complaints about using FSM spriting , but I like to try and distinguish the charsets from the Phantasia series and the Lost Land series.

As for battle characters, I'll be using the same style as I did for the other installments, maybe even make them a little bigger to accommodate the larger screen resolution for VX games.

Really, my only other issue would be tilesets as well, while I don't have an issue using all those tilesets I've seen available for VX Ace, I'd like to try my hand at doing parallax tilesets too. But I don't know anyone who's willing to do that kinda stuff. X_X;

There's a lot of planning to be had for the game, especially in terms of the graphical department, but I do have a storyline thought up for at least premise of the game, as for how the game will play out, that's where I'm stuck, because of the whole gotta get the graphical thing sorted out before I can really start on anything.

Making games on VX is hard... somewhat. :P

What's your thoughts on graphical style of choices peeps?

Hey there, it's me, Jaymonius.

During the last few days, I've been in the reminiscing period about P5, dunno why, I figured I'd get a few more fixes done here n' there, the game has been long since needing to return to be played by you guys.

So, I've decided to release what I have now. Which I'd like to call, Phantasia 5: Director's Cut. Which now has a new playable character, and changes to certain scenes in the game. I fixed a few of the problems that were in the game before and added a few new things as well.

I've wanted to release this since last year, but I got HEAVILY distracted by so many other things, like RPGMakerVXAce, been makin' a Pokémon Fangame lately, and slowly getting Phantasia 2 Redux worked on. But, I figured it's high time this game got released.

The game is... BIG! (lol, P2 is bigger, for obvious reasons, lol.) So, I sincerly doubt the higher ups would want a game this big entering the vault, but that's their call I guess, well, the game should be coming soon, I'll be posting a link to the game within' the next 24 hours.

Sorry for the very long wait. And hope to update you guys with some P2Redux news in the future.

So lately I've been poking around through some of my older projects and figured I'd give em' a go, and my god, no wonder people hated some of these games, even I don't know how to do some of this crap anymore, god damn I was relentless.

Well anyway, the game I'm mostly poking around with is Phantasia 4, I figured I'd go and update it with some of the terms used in P5 to make it match with my up to date story arch terms in regards to P5 and P2R, I want all my games to be connected in some way.

I also did a few name changes to make more sense, for example I'm changing Aerial to Ariel since that is the actual name not some retarded "Aerial Attack" or whatever.

If I keep up this idea til' I finish this, I may release this on RMN, and I have found a lot of mistakes that I was probably too proud, or stubborn to fix, but with age comes experience I always say, so I'm gonna try and get some more done on this before my attention draws elsewhere.

Note: IF anyone had any complaints about P4, now's the best time to tell me while I'm working on it, that way I can fix what I can find.
