Hey there, Jaymonius here with yet another blog so quickly after the last one, but it's mostly a discussion based topic about the feeling of completion.

Ever have that feeling of wanting to hurry up and rush to your favorite parts in your game? Like the big reveal but hate doing the work needed to make the build up for said parts? (I know I certainly do at some points.) Even when playing games when you're heavily anxious to get to one of your favorite scenes in a game.

I can safely say I got 90% of the story planned out, but executing them is where I start to go, how am I going to execute this particular scene, etc. Will I have to cut this from here? Or will I have to cut that from here? I ended up doing that a LOT with Phantasia 5, as there was planned to be a more darker alternate ending to the game than the original.

But, I'm not having it this time, as I do still intend to do a light path and a dark path at one point. Keep in mind though, these paths will happen during the last portion of the game, and the dark path will be shorter, it is more depicted as a what-if scenario. But it's a scenario I sorta want to do and see some people's opinions on it, because the consequences for doing these actions is severe, and you will be submitted to some of the more harder boss fights in the game as well.

And this is the part where I wanna get to that part sooooo bad, but I still have a bunch of other stuff that needed to be worked on, the elemental dungeons, other stuff in the story, the sidequests (oh god, the sidequests.)

Though one thing that has been in previous Phantasias I may exclude from this is the Arena, I cannot find a place to put an arena in, and I feel it gets repetitive and boring after a while. If I am to add an arena, I'd sooner want to make it something like where you are given 20-30 tasks to do, and once all 20-30 tasks are finished in the arena, you'll fight the champion. A similar arena like that was in Wild Arms 4, and I really like how it was done, just doing something like that will be difficult to try. X_X;

And on a completely different subject change. The monius went to Japan a couple weeks ago, and lemme tell ya, IT WAS AWESOME. :D Makes me wish I was there longer, I'd memorize EVERYTHING about their transit system. :D
