CloseFor the main plot the mandatory characters could be the focus of the dialog, while for optional missions the non-mandatory characters could get the spotlight.
The conversation tree of choices is also a good idea.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

If you're bothered by the idea of the mandatory characters getting most of the dialogue, that would be a solution. I think it would be good enough to just use the mandatory characters though.
I have to admit, the way I'm doing it now is really bad from a writing perspective. :/
Hmm, perhaps, I could, for each conversation, have three possible responses from chosen party members, where if you have certain optional characters, they may respond, but if not, it can default to someone guaranteed to be in your party. Or randomize it, so that it could be one of several characters, and keeps going down the list until it defaults to someone that's guaranteed to be to be in the party.

At the very least, I wonder if it would be possible to just change the monologues into dialogues. The conversations where your party doesn't say anything but people respond as if you did always sort of annoy me. There is a subset of characters who are always in the party who could provide the other half of the conversation that's being skipped - so far we have the three starting characters and the tiny-tophat girl as mandatory characters.
Well, you see some of it in the demo, where characters respond as if someone in your party had, say, asked them to join the party. When a conversation is between specific characters, there will be dialog, but a lot of it will be oldschool style where your characters actual dialog is assumed. (I don't think it's feasible to, say, code for every character combination XD)
Now, in a story-heavy game, this would not be how I would handle things at all. But I think the core of this game is character-collecting, exploration and challenge. There can still be character moments, but they'll be isolated rather than tying directly into the plot (like the short conversation that Rosie has with Natalie, for example), and we can also have as many optional side-quests that showcase characters as we want. We can do plenty of character-interaction that way.
I apologize if this sounds disappointing to anyone wanting a rich, detailed narrative, but its just not feasible with this project.

Speaking of storyline,how are cutscenes going to work? I mean there's a crap ton of characters, in which most of them are optional, so it's either you code some dialog for each character or have each cutscene focus on a specific set of characters.
I thought Barrier was essentially Magic Defense? Healing looked like it could be a re-purposing of Luck. I could be wrong, though.
*Edit: Way to fail on the reading of posts, Marrend.
*Edit: Way to fail on the reading of posts, Marrend.
Barrier is just a renamed Magic Defense, and Healing is a re-purposed Luck, but re-worked to affect healing magic. Craze deserves the credit for both of those, btw ^_^ (They're that way in DEViL::ender as well)
And I had no plans of removing any of the Souls from the party; once they joined, I figured they'd be there for the rest of the game.

Okay, so quick questions:
Are Barrier and Healing repurposed sp or ex parameters or are they entirely new?
Also, people won't leave the party, right? They'll be accessible at all times? Because they could prove a bit harder on the scripting if we allow removal of them via story point or something.

Wow. My mind = blown. That is amazing! ^_^
Though, like you said, the trick is finding someone who can do that. Still, I think that idea would work magnificently.
EDIT: I'll get that list of scripts together right away!

Unfortunately I have to re-upload the whole thing because I accidentally signed out of Google (meaning Google signed me out like it always does for no fucking reason. >.<; )
A very rough mock-up:
Basically, you'd choose an item then instead of choosing an amount it'd jump to the character sprites (the first coloured one) and you'd scroll through (left/right). The coloured ones are the people you have that can equip that piece. The greyed out are those who can't equip it and the silhouettes are the people you've yet to find.
When you hover over the person their stat changes pop up, according to current equipment vs the equip you're looking at. Pressing confirm will allow you to choose either the number of items or to just straight-out buy then choose equip (either/or... or both if possible).
If you give me a list of the current scripts in use, I'll see if I can't find someone who might be willing to aid us in this endeavour, if you like the idea that is. ^.^;

Here Unity. This won't show up or down arrows (I'm not even sure how the logic for that would work when some items give evade instead of mdef!) but it will at least display the number of each item you currently have equipped. That way people can be like, "Oh, I have a wizard hat equipped, and both it and the double-wizard hat are sold here, and I can see it would be an upgrade."
This is just what we need! Thanks so much! :D
Edit: Works great now! Now we can see the number owned and equipped! Excellent! It will show up in the next update of the download ^_^

Oh man... I would love it if you got a script that did what I suggested in the video (that will be here very shortly) because it would be neat but... you'd probably need a scripter who knows what they're doing very well to do it so... not very viable. >.<;
Maybe someone will be able (and willing) to. If not, I'll ask people for opinions on how we can make do. (I say this without even knowing your suggestion yet XD)

Good point! I'll change it. I could also just have everyone listed as plain old "developers" because that also fits ^_^
Oh, instead of (Characters) why not put (Design)? It includes creation of more than just characters, like towns and the like... ^.^
I do apologize, as this was a concern of mine as well. However, with 30 characters, there's no way to display all of their stats in the shop windows. It would be really cool if I could, say, get the character icons to glow yellow if weapons increased their stats and red if it decreased them, but unfortunately I'm rather terrible with code and this is beyond my abilities right now. If anyone knows of a way to do this (or has an idea for a different fix) please let me know and I'll try to implement it.
All stat changes brought on by all pieces of equipment are listed on all item descriptions, so for now I'm afraid you'll have to go way oldschool and check item vs item. The second tier of items in the shops are generally going to be your best bet, though there are some drops in the Bandit's Hideout that surpass them in terms of raw stats (but may have other drawbacks). Hope that's not a dealbreaker, and again, sorry that it's not more ideal.
