Balmung Cycle Part I: The Messenger and the Heretic Review
Backtracking out of the mountain with very little to show for it? Screw you, Magi.
video games have been known to bring out the best in all of us
"We're not dead yet!" Love blossoms in a retirement home.

Here's another reallyuninteresting news story to discuss:
Sweden sees fall in public urination fines
This is clearly a stealth tax on public drunkenness, because everybody knows that the only kind of humans who have the audacity to relieve themselves in public are the same ones who have pushed a few too many appletinis into their bloodstream.

All that as it is, would you have any preoccupations with me reviewing Balmung Cycle and giving/taking away points applicable to the merit of said mapping "features"?
I think there are many more features in the game that have a greater amount of weight in considering points to remove or give.
[RMVX ACE] Good sites for tilesets? Is DS pack good with RTP style sprites?
The RPG Maker Web store has some good tile sets if you are willing to open your wallet for most of them. Other than that, we're beyond the era of a community flush with free and original tile sets simply up for grabs.
Pixel Myth tiles are pretty good, and Time Fantasy tiles have this retro RM2000 feel if you don't mind the fact that they are pretty amateurish for the price. These both are not free though..

I'm sorry to say that those are a feature. Any sparse map errors were placed with intent to pay homage to Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and express anti-bourgeois and anti-imperialist sentiments. The pages of history have turned on the Balmung period and that era of RMN to look toward a more self-sufficient future for all of us, where we are free from the tyranny of game engines (and Liberty's rotating album of very attractive Katt images).
Map Weight in RPGs
Why does anybody look up to Dragon Quest for anything anymore? I feel nostalgic for it, but it's not a standard or default for anything except poor mechanical design and generic craftsmanship. It's like if you want to buy the generic brand at the store. Sure, it's fine and everything, but it leave you feeling a bit of regret, just wondering what life might have been if you had sprung a few extra dollars for a name brand product.
I don't really know many games that use strategic map encounters. Even if you use some kind of on-map mechanic to outsmart the enemy's pacing it wouldn't be enough without some kind of fulfillment attached. You do need to introduce extra elements to those kinds of encounter systems if you want them to feel more dynamic. Xenosaga kind of poked around with expanded map-encounter mechanics where you could manipulate enemies into hazard zones to down them or introduce status effects into the next battle. Kind of interesting, but today I think somebody could design something much more compelling.
I still wake up in cold sweats after nightmares involving Air's Rock, twelve years later

Like Lufia, Golden Sun always stuck with me as a JRPG with memorable level design.

Do you think Mr. Iwata ever truly knew love before he died?
Oh man... I can't believe he is really gone. Mr. Iwata, I- I loved you. You were so kind to Itoi-kun. It's because you listened that he was able to make games. Thank you.

What can be said? If they're sound of mind then good for them. My great-grandmother married like two more times between her late 70s to mid-90s. She never let age get in the way of love, but the family had a unique name for her she was called the 'black widow'
What's your day job? Talk about it!
I teach conversational English to countryside kids who only want to know how to shout profanities at players in League of Legends. They could never tell you directions to the nearest McDonald's, but my god they could explain in detail why you are the shittiest Riven player on Earth
