Story:


The royal family of Vespel that reign over the kingdom of Gestalt must undergo a certain ritual before they are inaugurated as kings and queens. Said ritual can only be performed in the long since abandoned temples that have become home to the foul, loathsome, and ancient Kovain; undead warriors that refuse to pass on. What is this ritual, and why must it be performed?

Princess Cecile R'hinak Vespel has reached the proper age to undergo her coming of age ceremony, and has been assigned a small group of bodyguards to escort her to the Oakwood Temple, where only begins the long series of misfortunes and hardships that they will come to face.

Features:


- Three different difficulties; "Normal", "Nightmare", and "Scarlet Paradise", that each alter enemies, treasure chest locations/items, and even several locations and dialogue.
- A main hub that is available at all save points. Provides services such as synthesizing items and gear, and changing outfits of your characters.
- Customize your characters by unlocking new skills by spending "AP" on different statues.
- Nonlinearity, in that there will be several sidequests leading away from the main story, as well as a large scale battle arena with a multitude of competitions.
- Glyphs that can vastly alter your characters. Some of these can be purchased.

What the Fire Bolt! has Sana been up to?

And why have I returned on Black Friday? (Uhm...not really sure why I picked today to type this up, but...) So, yeah I haven't updated Tears of Samsara as I've been dealing with a mental illness during the time I've been away. I'm not all "that" sure what it is, since I don't have money for a hospital visit...but! Enough on that, since it's something I'd rather not go into much detail about.

Soma: You're just afraid of doctors, you pansy.

Me: What? No, I'm not!

Cecile: Hmph, are all commoners as shameful as him?

Soma: No, he's a special case. But, I can relate on wanting to do my assignments.

Me: I hate you both..

Anyway, so..enough with that! Just thought that I'd let everyone know I'm alright, though I won't be updating anytime soon, because..well, I'm just too burdened with my aforementioned condition to do so. I hope to see you all again when/if I ever get better! :(

Sana's original name from the novel was Soma. :) That story differed..well greatly from what I have now! xD Glad you enjoyed Rasnidko, he is quite the challenge if unprepared, and upon the new version release he'll be even more difficult! >:D
Your intro makes me want to play FFVII lol

Your intro makes me want to play FFVII lol
xD Thanks~ Lol FFVII is still one of my favorite rpgs so I got inspired by it a little. ^o^ The intro has already been changed a little for the new V1.1 though. :)
It's my hands down all time favorite too, my 2nd favorit is star ocean 2 which i'm trying to impart a feeling of into my game, but the polishing takes FOREVER lol. Anyways I was really sad in the first fight that you couldn't save your buddies, i wen't through allt the trouble to kill the beastie first byt still had to kill them :*( Super fun boss though, I'm going to have to think of ways to spice up my battles (no copying i promise ;-p) oh, what software do you use for editing music? I was going to try adding some of my own sounds and ME but i can't find a good freeware sound editor...

Beats me..lol I just go to Newgrounds.com, or BlueLaguna.net they both have some really good music available for downloading especially BlueLaguna if you want stuff from commercial games. :) Don't worry about Sana's comrades btw, lol you'll have the option to get one of 'em back later!

Lol Star Ocean 2 rocks in its own category 10/10 imo, though my fav Star Ocean is the 3rd one. ^o^
I also tried to kill "beastie" first in hopes of saving my two underlings. Unfortunately, Sana had other plans. Such as Brom becoming a ghoul.

Edit: Damn typos.
Though he's completely optional, and has little to no dialogue after acquiring him like some other optional characters seen throughout the years of gaming~ :) Only reason of getting him: He punches things hard!! xD
Brom makes me think of Pokemon for some reason... dunno why
I kinda stoped liking RPGs after the ps2. My favorite PS2 game was Dark cloud with FFX in 2nd but I haven't really liked a FF game since X. I ment to ask you, how did you get the names to show up over stuff like the Requiem crytal? is that a script?
Yeah, it's Woratana's Floating Event Name script lol, I've been looking around for an Ace version of it but, no luck as of yet. :) You've played Dark Cloud "and" FFX? Damn girl, you're..awesome!

I like building towns!
That's great! Lol, sadly there won't be many towns in this game as..they sort of lose their purpose thanks to The Base having every service available within it. At most, maybe 5-6 towns? :o

Btw, I have finally found a floating event name script!! *o*
You could add towns that give you interesting/helpful npc dialogue, or sidequests and special items to be bought.
Also, not every town needs to be a rest hub. Make some that has a monster problem. Maybe a curtain town crimelord needs some proper retribution ^.-

5-6 towns huh?
how big are they?

At certain points of the game, a strange occurrence may happen called a "D Seed Shower". The skys turn a
dark purple, the earth decays, and the seas rage.

During a "D Seed Shower", Vallen appear constantly through interdimensional rifts which when defeated grant
bountiful rewards. It is uncertain as to when these showers will occur, however if they do, proceed through the
area with caution as you will be unable to access the menu or even save!


Hmmm.. by chance, have you been playing Stalker? :P This sounds rreeeeeaaaalllyyyy cool though, so definitely subbed!
You don't always need lots of towns, I like the base camo idea. Areyou going to be recruiting npcs to beef up you camp? That was me favorite pert of Suikoden, I think my next game will be a Knight who has to rebuild a decrepid castle. I tried it with vX waaaay back when and it was a hastle, but I'm better now...lol

There should be about 3-4 small-medium sized towns, and two kingdoms which will be quite large lol. :)

To answer that..sort of yes and no lol, more services do become available over time in The Base depending on how far you've gotten in the game like after you've rescued Taija she opens up the Vorce Tome store, but you can't just recruit any old someone after you do something for them like in Suikoden. :)
I'm currently at work recoloring the rtp actors, which I will allow anyone to use. Lol, once I finish up my first one I'll open up a section for it via BoR's homepage~ ^o^ (Yeah, we got 'dat B roll!) B3

EDIT: RTP Recolorings section moved to the forums~
Updated the game logo~ :) Now properly shows the appearance changes, as well as excluded the villains..they just didn't seem to fit into that bunch~ ^o^
