XEMETH'S PROFILE

A black, and white version of FF mystic quest.

I want to begin with a positive note by saying this is a very interesting concept you got going on, and I would like to see this project once it has more meat on its bones.


Things you did right.

Selecting your class from the beginning immediately gives your game replay value, and more ways to approach team recruitment.


A loot system makes the game tolerable when in need of grinding, and same goes for weapon rarity. Especially for a treasure hunter like me.


Allowing the player to choose their name gives them a more personal relationship with the characters in a game.


Things you did wrong.

5 unique classes that play the frigging same... The lack of a level 1 skill, and the stats being similar to each other makes it really hard to believe I'm playing a different class.


Releasing a demo when you have around 15 maps available makes for a total waste of time. You could have waited a bit before you put this out to the public.


The starting weapons don't really change much. Seriously how does a pistol only increase my attack by 1? I must be really buff, and the gun is just slowing ME down.


Things that can Improve.

The character itself. You have five classes. Why not have five avatars. There's a lot of vx ace sprites that's available. You don't need to generate your own. You could even make people select their genders. Copy, and paste the stats, and voila! 10 unique characters!


Context for your story. "who am I, and where do I belong?" Leaving your character as mysterious as possible if fine, but your character has no purpose. All I know is I woke up, and had to do something.


Make party members customizable. the first party member that joins you is a Warrior, but what if I picked warrior as well? Something you can do is an introduction to new characters like so...
Oh hey that's my friend Christo! he's a...
-Mage
-Warrior
-Rogue <---
-Healer
Right! Christo's a Rogue!


For the love of all that is holy. Give everyone a level 1 skill! Nothing I hate more then mashing ENTER for all battles.


I hope to see what your made of! Good luck my friend.

This was a pretty fun recreation of Castlevania.


The only problem I had with it is the controls, but since I can use my xbox360 controller as a keyboard. I didn't have much of an issue afterwards.


If anyone else wants to know how to use a Ps3 controller as a keyboard let me know. I would be glad to lend a hand.


By the way... The second map has a very familiar tone, but wait! Could it be??? Is it Slam shuffle From Final fantasy!? That song brought me some good times, so I thought I should make it rhyme.

I spent about 4 hours on this game, and I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed...


I played for about 2 hours on my first run, and decided to go the Tothlin Gar mountain cave, and fought the boss, and got stuck inside. I only had the 1 save file.


I did what any true RPG fan would do, and start over.


I have a couple of suggestions for you. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I know I'm going to sound like one anyways...


Your character progression is awful. Story wise, and combat wise. You should have just made Maverick the main character.


The monsters are pathetically weak, and pose no challenge. The stats are just set way to darn high. Even Terris is a tank most fights.


The story itself is solid. You get decent details about the important characters themselves, and the humor in the dialog feels just right. I'm a Mercenary Damn it! Reminds me of a certain some one I know. He doesn't like to be called a thief.


There's a lot of potential in this game, but it has its fair share of flaws. Keep working on it, and you'll maker yourself a great game.

A limited amount though. If monsters don't respawn. We don't get enough money to afford more.


Speaking of balms, and such. How many characters are you going to have for your game? If it's more than 4 I'm replacing Lillian immediately. I don't want to use a character that can run out of supplies.


Bye Lillian!
