ROWAN'S PROFILE

I'm now working on the options menu in my game and messing around with the font.

tll me what you think of Last hope

Battles: Were fun, but leaned on the spammy side. The best thing about the game imo.
Music: Well.. It was there I suppose. Motoi Sakuraba definitely seen his better days during his SO3, Baten Kaitos era
Graphics:I liked the look of the game for the most part. Some of the battle techniques are fun to look at. Nothing too spectacular though
Story:The story overall really didn't flow together and made little sense.
Characters:The worst part of this game. The characters (especially the females) felt like something from a porno flick. I'll give you a giant cookie if you can tell me how many times the loli says "kay" during the game.
SideStuff:The optional dungeon is a great way to waste more time with the battle system. That's about it.

I got to this one dungeon, the first time you see some unead, and just stopped because the battles were going too slow.

Actually... Do you have the second one, Origins?

I bought what I thought was the first baten kaitos, but it turned out to be origins in the wrong box (i didn't mind, it was hard to find) and I found the first one eventually anyway, but I would really like it be able to find a scan of the cover art for Origins. If you could scan yours, or know where I could find such a scan, I'd be grateful.

U.S. cover art

..and Origins is MUCH faster indeed. Unfortunately some of the cards and deck construction elements just isn't refined enough as the first one. You practically never needed to use any armor cards in origins. Relay combos are always fun though. I think I'm about halfway through with origins.

1. Flight
2. Silver
3. Cerberus
4. Eagle

Interesting! But that's hard to translate into something in my game, considering the value in items isn't so much numerical, but they're components of other items.

Should I make enemies have more than one item to steal, with rarer items NOT having a 100% chance to steal?

That's how it was done in FF9 and frankly I HATED that system. Perhaps you should let the player know the odds of stealing an item or something. For example:

Thief used Steal
MISSED
Thief: Dang! Almost had it! Maybe if were to to try again..
or
Theif: Sorry guys! This is going to take awhile.

Each time you use steal the thiefs reaction and comment would change depending on the odds. This way, at least you'll be able to notify the player what odds he is up against.
