Dragon Fantasy: Heroes of Tsufana
Well, I've got most of the database done, as well as several major towns and a big chunk of the world map! And I'm having quite a bit of fun, too. Also being thrown into the fray are four additional party members! Woop woop.
Dragon Fantasy: Heroes of Tsufana
Alright, alright... I know I said that my next project would be a continuation of the "Heroes of Tsufana" universe while also incorporating elements of the "Venaitura" series... but I've convinced myself to remake this game utilizing RG Maker VX ACE! Why? Well, mostly to get used to how these newer makers work. That, and I'm itching to CREATE! And after CoT, I want to create something very light on story and heavy in exploration/gameplay.
Sooooo GET EXCITED...! (?)

Hmmm... I have no idea what the original name for that song is. I hope it's not an original piece, because I think I got it from... Demon Legacy? =X

Uh, oh... well now that's a request. I think finding all of their original titles would take just a little bit of time, but I can list the games I took the music from! ... Or at least 95% of them, anyway.
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Live a Live
Sword of Mana
Golden Sun
Valkyrie Profile
Terranigma
Seiken Densetsu 3
Rudra no Hihou/Treasure of the Rudras
Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song
Breath of Fire 1 and 2
Megaman Zero 3 and 4
Chrono Cross
Etrian Odyssey 5
And that should be about it. If there's any specific song you really want to know the name or origin of, you can point it out and I'll do my best to find the answer!

I always envisioned Sando and Lifa having the type of relationship wherein they were so comfortable around each other and just... clicked so the point that they seemed like incredibly close friends. More often than not, when two characters are in love, their interest in each other is beaten over your head. I wanted something different. Something more... nuanced. They express their interest in an atypical manner and aren't all over each other or super love-dovey. I've felt like I've clicked with people on this level before, albeit briefly, and aimed to express the Princess and her guard's interest in a similar light.
Also, Euphoniac, similar "rare" items include the strongest (in terms of pure ATK) sword in the game, the Elite Longsword, dropped by the monster Evan's Elite; the Three King's Lexicon by Veryl's Chosen; the Witch Queen Ring by Faulmah's Favorite, etc. all within the final dungeon. I've never had the Shannax Axe drop, myself, but if you got more than one you'd have to be incredibly lucky, because the drop rate's only 8%.

Hmmm... I'm not sure if I can remember ALL of them, but what I was mainly referencing when I said that was that I wanted to add in a lot of small details that'd make every player's experience slightly different. For example, a lot of enemy's have rare and one-of-a-kind equipment drops that some people may never see, while other might end up with 8 of said item in their inventory! But something more along the lines of what you are referring to would be the "Fairy Scythe" in the Arvandi Woods, which a decent amount of people seemed to miss because I threw them off with a decoy chest with a teleportation event in front of it =P
Some other ideas I had that were scrapped somewhere along the way were:
-Veryl would have a group of characters accompanying him around that'd act as HIS "party members." They'd be Vladimir, Giruvega, and Baolovar.
-I was also thinking on allowing the player to control Veryl and his group at certain points in the story, similarly to how Fou Lu and Ryu's group were switched around in Breath of Fire 4.
-The confrontation with Giruvega atop Mountain Tower was going to be completely different. Far before working with Desertopa, I originally intended the prince to transform into a monster/some kind of creature so that the fight would be more similar to the original (in Dragon Fantasy). Vladimir was going to have planted an experimental creature within Giruvega that would've been birthed just in time to fight the party.
-For a SUPER SECRET, and something that I'd have no reason to bring up within the actual game, is that I've always seen Celes as having an interest in women. Even though some people thought there was some semblance of a romantic spark between our heroine and Yoor, it sadly wasn't there. Or maybe if there was, perhaps now I should feel a little bad for Yoor? =P

THEY'RE... blue, I think? Someone's in there now, so I can't double-check!
As for actually giving out little bits of information on ideas that I'd scrapped: Lifa, the party's Black Mage and princess of Yurudos, was originally intended (by me, before Desertopa joined the team) to die and replaced with Vladimir.
The Black Mistress of Ziazu was supposed to be Yoor's mother, but this was before a lot of the game's backstory and history of the kjrn was fleshed out. We also though this would be a little too much and would add far more drama than the game needed (and it's already chok-full!)
Vladimir was supposed to make an appearance in the final dungeon as the game's penultimate boss battle. This idea was scrapped, and he was moved to being the final foe the party would face within Diaboros.
Also, before opting to make this a very story and dialogue-heavy game, I'd originally intended to basically do a graphical overhaul of the original Dragon Fantasy and leave the story just as bare-bones.
I'll keep spitting them out if there's any interest! So be sure to let me know =B

Dang it, Trihan, you can't just burst in here and throw around my Super Secrets like they're regular secrets! If everyone starts to do that, my names won't be so... uh... "unique" anymore!
Also, good catch, Corf. Somehow I... didn't see that?

That's a GREAT question!
A Tsufanubra is a... well, you see...
If you ever tried to eat a tomato after brushing your teeth...
Hmmm...
You know, I actually made an attempt to google the word, but sadly I never received the strangely entertaining and humorous definition or description that I wanted. Oh well! Guess I can't fall back on that.
If I remember correctly, it's a name I created for some alien/virtual reality world for a story that never really saw the light of day many years ago. I think this was back in 2009? Or probably even before that. I wanted something that sounded alien and magical at the same time, so I kinda crammed some noises and sounds together which resulted in "Tsufanubra."
