TRIHAN'S PROFILE

Cats cannot compose music, therefore I call shenanigans.

Jokes aside, as a fellow composer I welcome you to our little slice of the internet and wish you many happy feline adventures.

Digimon World for the PS1 is my guilty pleasure. Such a terrible game but I couldn't put it down.

I was keeping an eye on this one since I first heard it announced, but at the moment I only have 10GB a month bandwidth on my internet so I can't really download anything big until I upgrade it after my free six months. :(

That's an excellent idea on paper, Lib, but when you break it down to its component parts all that's really doing is forcing the player to travel to location X when they want to craft item type Y. In a game where all the people are relatively close together that doesn't matter--but then what's the point of having that restriction in the first place? Conversely, if they're all far apart enough and dotted around that the choice becomes a tough decision instead of an easy option, the player might just get fed up with constantly going back and forth to get the weapons dealer once they finally get that final material they needed for the +5 Sword of Ermahgerd after just having left him behind to make some potions from a guy who lives five towns over.

The problem when balancing is that if you make every unit/character equally or similarly rewarding, you risk homogenisation--the point where the options are so indistinguishable from each other that they all play pretty much the same and it doesn't matter which you use.
