Rather than another podcast; I think it would be great if someone did video reviews of amateur games (and would review games other then "Nicks retarded ass backwards joke game")

What was that supposed to mean, was that an insult towards me calling me retarded? I got your first point but doing a video is tougher but if you get people who want to do that than it's definably something to do. But to your second point about Nick's retarded ass backwards joke game. I don't know what you meant.

Azn trust me, I said I would do every game possible and I mean that doesn't matter whether it's crap or good I do them, but knowing your skills I look forward to playing it.

Alright cool. One thing though, I don't use a capitalized "f" in the title.

Ok I changed it

.... I just pulled the name out of nowhere, I'm referring to the idiots who review games that have no effort put into them on youtube.

To give others a glimpse of the madness that spirals around in my backwards brain.

Oh, you mean RMN, not game making; Well - I came here initially for the free game hosting; but what makes me stick around (lurk) is the events that promote actual game making and game playing. Release something is probably the single best event for the community as whole, far more so than empty contests with monetary prizes.

Nightblade: I played FFXI for a long time as well.

The music is one of the best things about it. I still try and get the music from Jeuno out of my head... but it's permanently tattooed in there.

Maybe I should try Phantom Legacy if you really did use all FFXI music.

It doesn't actually use all FF11 music, it uses some BoF5: Dragon Quarter music as well, as I thought that OST was just brilliant.

Who was the one who actually recognized Castle Zvahl's theme? I thought I was the only one here stupid enough to actually play FF11 for about a year or so. (A long, long time ago)

Well, it seems like a decent effort; but a few things you might want to consider.

1 - Pick a characterset style, and stick with it. RTP style and rudra don't mix.

2 - While we're on the subject, those recolors are a bit too saturated. If you're using photoshop, this is really easy to fix. If you don't have it, there are a few programs that could be downloaded for free that's like photoshop. One such example is that bright blue hair.

3 - While reading the story, there was something jabbing me in the back of the head over and over. Final Fantasy 4. I'm sorry to do this; but let us list the similarities.


- Amoral king who isn't acting like himself - Check
- Mysterious amoral guy who's appearance can easily be linked to this - Check
- Crystals - Check
- Military commander against his former liege - Check


There are a few differences, but the similarities stand out like a sore thumb. Also, this king lost his wife; so he's going to go ape shit and take over the world? He must have been a pretty big douche to begin with, in that case.

It'd be a lot easier if we actually had something playable; but despite this thread it isn't ready yet (which is a little odd; usually people wait until something is ready before posting... Unless they're asking for testers).

At any rate, don't give in. My advice; keep working - release the demo, release; and get a wider variety of feedback.
