Love and War is a tale taking place on the world of Terra. Ever since the birth of the first nation-state on this world, Terra has been wracked by the scourge of war. Five nations managed to survive throughout the ages, yet it seemed as though with each passing day, humanity slipped closer and closer to self-annihilation.
One man made a difference, however. The youthful Emperor of the Zion Empire, Geraud Valtemond, was this man. A brilliant, honorable, and benevolent monarch, he managed to open the eyes of the leaders of the other nations, showing them what lay ahead if Terra persisted down this road. Through diplomacy and sheer force of will, Lord Geraud created the Commonwealth; an international governing body, comprised of democratically elected representatives and Peacekeeping Forces, which would forever make war a thing of the past.
Three centuries have elapsed, and people have forgotten the lessons of the past. Tensions are rising between nations once again, and it seems as if the Commonwealth is powerless to do anything but watch as its order crumbles. Can one man make a difference, once again?

CloseThat's great news, GoneWind! Thank you very much for sharing your discovery with us - I shall go ahead and make a blog post to inform any others who've had trouble with Windows 8 and RM2K games. :)

Just wanted to say "Problem Solved".
Edited my last comment with the solution.
(Sorry if double post is a problem, I just wanted to make sure Admiral Styles is aware that there is a solution for the problem)

author=Admiral Stylesauthor=GoneWindSorry to hear that GoneWind, I have heard that a few people with Windows 8 have had trouble with RM2K games. :( Is there any error message in particular that might give us a clue?
Sad, I really wanted to play the game. but it does not work for me. Might be a thing with rm2k games and win8 :\
Sorry for the late answer...
The error messege was:
"???? 'RPG_RT.exe' ???? 00403441 ???? F28B562B ????Reading?????????"
The crash happens only after 3 screens ("ASCII"+Something in japanese+"Development by...".
I thought it is me lacking RTP so I downloaded it, but it didn't help.
OK, I managed to solve this problem.
I'll try to explain so other people won't have the same issue I had.
Windows 8 seems to have two inherent problems with rm2k.
(a) The first problem is going to full screen mode, which causes the game to crash with the error: "DIRECTDRAW ERROR (DDERR_UNSUPPORTED)".
You can find the solution to this problem here: http://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/10204/
The little program by "Cherry" works wonders.
(b) The second problem (which was what caused LaW to crash for me) is quite simple and annoying- windwos 8 seems to have no ability to play midi. In some games there won't be any music (sound effects will be present since they don't use the midi format). In windows XP there was a program that dealt with midi, so the RM2K games are trying to call for this program, which does not exist.
The solution to this requires two things:
1) A program that can run midi: http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth
Be aware that you need to download a soundfont as well (you can find a list of those in the link I put above).
2) A program that sets your system to open midi files via the new program you just downloaded: http://www.benryves.com/products/vistamidi
I know it's called vista midi control, but it works perfectley fine for win8.
After you download both of those programs, you should open virtual midi synth and choose the sound font you wanted, than open vista midi control and choose virtual midi synth as your main program for midi files.
credit to this site (and an explanation that is more accurate than mine, but a bit technical): http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/blog/2013/03/what-happened-midi-mapper-windows-8
This solved my problem.
Edit: Here is a nice tutorial for virtual midi synth:https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/midkar/conversations/messages/34524
Edit2: It seems you need to lower down the music a bit so you can hear the sfx and the voice actors. You can do it easily- after you open the game, look for a new systray icon called "CoolSoft VirtualMidiSynth - 1.9.0 (x86)", double click it and it will open a midi mixer, you can lower all music under master (or just certain parts of the music). Lower the "master" one untill you can her sfx.

I forgot to post this after finishing for the third time I've played a diffrent version besides the few problems I had and I have mentioned before. Why when you remade this to be so much more beautiful you still use so many scattered resources conflicting with the game, (facesets mostly) mainly the ones for random people but Jesus it's so offputting.
The voices are diffrent, they range from good to making me laugh, Juno's is perfect though 100% spot on to how I imagined him and I love his theme. I still question the storypoint where Ryan beats Juno in a swordfight when Juno is obviously the stronger and more skilled of the two in the final battle Ryan is the weakest of the 3 and pretty much only found him useful to use items to keep the party alive and full mana.

Whoo, looks like I am going to replay the game soon. I actually loved the voice acting, especially with Ryan and Juno

I only found the one from Easton LOL looks like I missed quite a lot, and I picked the wrong choice with Ridane obviously.
Nathan, the feather is obtained by doing a side-quest at Ozunhold Castle.
To do this: after defeating the Gorn Jabola, visit the Military Academy at Lorean. You'll meet a minister called Sir Cornelius Fairfax there, who will offer you a reward if you can clear out a ruined fortress called Ozhunhold. Accept, head to Ozunhold (it's north of Lorean on the World Map), and defeat the bird boss (the Crowled Eagle) there. Be warned, that is one angry bird. As a prize for defeating him, you get the Crowled Feather.

Fight for four times and finally kill that worm! I didn't know how to get the feather, the only sub-quests I done are .
Anyway I and Juno is a badass, this game always surprise me ^^
The Explorer's green tasks and the other one when you have to find the three chests... are there any other sub-quests?
Anyway I
Kill Kodenai

so did anyone find all the dog tags? I only have 1 and I've already defeated the queen worm or conquerer worm in the mines, and have a certain vegeta-like blue haired fellow in my party haha
It's been a long time since I played that particular part of LAW myself, but as far as I recall...
One of them is at Lake Derren, but you have to fight a creature to get it.
One more is hidden in Blackwater Park, during the Ryan/Lavie quest
One of them is found after defeating Easton Stokel at Straukpass
And one of them is in Mr. Ridane (the war veteran)'s house
(Note that these last two require you to take on the sidequests in the Explorer's Guild, otherwise you can't access those areas.)
I'm not sure where the other one is, but it was somewhere quite straightforward if I recall correctly.
Finding them all is rewarding, and strangely, is connected to the blue-haired Vegeta guy. Or at least, that's my theory. =)

The Queen Worm is weak to lightning? Oh bother, I didn't know that. I just leveled Ryan up to 15, Juno to 12-13 or so, stocked up on healing items, and stood my ground. Talk about feeling stupid now. =)
As for Lavie and Act II - I do hope she gets to use that "Burning Arrow" at least once, even if she only has a small quest!

Howdy NathanFrey, good to hear you're having fun so far! The Queen Worm is definitely a fearsome opponent, but it sounds like you've got the levels to beat her. If you're struggling with this one, I would suggest that you repeatedly clear out all the Shagath worms she spawns to ensure that they don't self destruct - Juno and Ryan can't take too much of that punishment. Juno's Bladestorm is ideal for that. If you have a Bang cartridge for Ryan, he can help as well. Otherwise, he should mostly heal himself and Juno and take a shot when he can. Finally, if you did a certain side-quest, you should have a Feather item that does Lightning damage, which this boss is weak against. Best of luck!
Kanifer: Always great to see former players return to check the revamp out. :) Yes, the good Professor is correct in noting that Armin's Thievery maxes out at Level 3, though if you got that in the first area, you're really persistent!
Professor Q: Hehe, well... Act II is not necessarily Lavie's time to shine, but she's not forgotten, certainly. And I really like the idea of an Armin/Ryan quest too, but I don't know that there's opportunity for such in Act II, either... Ah well, time will tell all things!
Merry Christmas to all by the way, and a Happy St. Mikhail's Day!
