ERILEX'S PROFILE

Is it that unexpected? The cancellation has been impending for a while. I posted two blogs about it, you know!

It's for the better, though, I assure you!

I say embrace the 3D (which would necessarily mean ditching RM, I guess)! Those models look lovely.

Either way, 3D or 2D, RM or no RM, if you decide to kickstart this I'll be sure to throw a couple tenners your way (this might not sound like much, but I haven't backed any other crowd-funded games, so it's kind of a big deal -in an insignificant, cheap sort of way-! I love Aetherion, is what I'm saying).

Fans who were waiting on a new BoF were horribly surprised when they picked up the new title and felt quite betrayed by their expectations

Fans and their expectations are one of the greatest evils to befall the videogame industry. I think their kneejerk reactions when the series they love try to branch out in new directions instead of churning out more of the same are at least partially to blame for the current climate in which developers and publishers are totally averse to innovation or risk taking of any kind. Which of course fans will be quick to complain about.

If Megaman Legends, Street Fighter III, Dragon Quarter (which is a fucking masterpiece, by the way) or even the new DMC game which by all accounts is pretty great had gotten the love they deserved, perhaps we wouldn't have to deal with bullshit like this. Should these games have been their own thing instead of borrowing the name of everyone's beloved stagnated sagas? Maybe. But don't forget that many franchises have achieved excellence by undergoing often radical shifts in mechanics or tone. Don't advocate change and experimentation when it suits you and dismiss them as soon as they mess with your nostalgia.

All that said I still think Capcom is in pretty deplorable shape nowadays and this BOF6 thing holds very little promise.

So much for trying to make it independent from the RTP. This sucks. I suck.

Oh well. Install RMXP's RTP: http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/run-time-package (click on the "For RPG MAKER XP" tab).

Two cutscenes in Infernio (the volcano place) that take place in the maps to the left of the main hub have the characters portraits switched around during dialogue: Jo has Ethan's face, Aaron has Jo's, France Aaron's, and Ethan looks like France. Pretty confusing. I haven't gotten any farther yet, but you might want to make sure this doesn't happen somewhere else down (up?) the road too.



Edit: It looks like this happens in every single one of those little snippets you get when exploring, but not during the important story sequences.
