The New Earth

I did. And if you ask nicely I'll let you review yours.

I probably am capable of doing this without being unfair, because I know personally pretty much everything I worked on successfully, and everything I generally gave up in frustration (the party system for instance gave me headaches and nightmares, as did trying to make a realistic element system that people could use without crazy damage, and then there was the random fairy that floated about the screen so you could save on worldmap which was killable). I know what's good and what bad about it. Since most of the people here reviewing me apparently got frustrated to the point that they aren't getting a full review, WHY CAN'T I review my own game?

Love and War: Act I

Yea, I figured it out myself (eventually). The trick was the rhyme the girl said about "Put it in a kettle, put it in a pot." Water can be put in a kettle, and in a pot. But there isn't anything watery nearby, so I realized that flowers also go into a pot. So then I remembered the drop location and found it.

Very good game so far, I gave it a 5 in a review (any game that can make water move on a background scene has alot of love put into it), but my review must have been rejctected. Oh well.

Love and War: Act I

Hey ummm, I'm having trouble with the area where u gotta find evidence against the mayor, can you give a walkthrough?

Phantasia 3

"it said "the file system2c cannot be opened"
i think i already have the RPT"

This happened for Befuddle Quest. Sometimes, even if you have the RTP the main files won't really read from it. To be safe, just copy and paste the entire RTP contents over. Also, make sure there are no duped names for files (like Town, when you have a really badass drawing), as doing this pretty well destroys the file through overwriting.

Final Fantasy Essence

Give us a demo. Seriously, alot of ppl start in production, but wane off after awhile. Demos keep the crowds interested, and keep you energized.

The New Earth

Be patient. I'm working on a better one. NOW WITH MORE PLOT!

The New Earth

Wait, no. That's not entirely right. There is the beginning sequence about the transformation, then most of the game plot deals with trouble from the main villain, until the eventual defeat of her. You also have a false king scenario, and a "romantic" scene.

Basically, the really issue of this game is that it's completely OPEN. You can ignore some or all of the plot points, and ultimately, unless you really know what you're doing, you probably will. Ever played Daggerfall? That game had multiple endings, and alot of different stuff could be done, but actually carrying out the plot was an exercise in itself, because you wandered around lots of territory to find the proper stuff to do. The actual plot of Daggerfall if you choose not to do it, or dunno where to go is, "The King's ghost in Daggerfall has been screaming 'Vengeance', go through a sample dungeon then ride your horse to Daggerfall, where you'll need to get an audience with the local lord." Until I actually got the complete guide, this meant the real game was not about the King at all, but doing guild quests, owning houses and boats, and going around the country breaking into houses. This is more or less what I ended up doing with this game, I made alot of branches at the endgame, but a very weak plot and character development on the actual game itself. On the bright side, any of the codes that work, because I don't believe in encryption, are pretty much free license.

I will give an honest rating, not just 1/5 "cause it's bad" or 5/5 "cause it's mine":
Game Freedom: 5/5 (Basically you can go anywhere provided it has been opened up yet, and you are not really bound by a plot telling you, you need to grind through this dungeon now, and can't just walk out)
Game Structure: 0/5 (Same problem, you could go anywhere, so you'd actually have to SEARCH for the plot)
Plot & Character Development: 1/5 (There was the main character's plight, limited plot, and a short "romantic" scene, such that it is, but other than than zilch)
Game Balance: 1/5 (Game was either too hard or too easy, often changing radically due to levels or armor)
Interesting Elements: 3/5 (Sidequests, puzzles, elemental damage system, and multiple endings. This could have made up for the faults in plot, but it isn't glitch free)
Music: 3/5 (Fair collection, but much of it is derivative, or completely inappropriate for the scene)

Had the game balance been a 3, Music been better, and Interesting Stuff been glitch-free, we'd have 3/5. As it is, though, the best score it can get is about a 2/5.

The New Earth

No, that's about it. Some weird deal with a not-really evil villain who wants to create a utopia (and the party is trying to stop it), and some tiny subplots, but mainly this game was an experiment on game-building. I put about 2% effort into plot, because I frankly didn't care about that. I put about 8% effort into making the enemies challenging, and making armor and items, and the other 90% was done on weird puzzles and sidequests.

It's convention defying, mainly because it doesn't rely on plot to move the game, it relies on puzzles and battles (the latter of which are really weird). But that kinda doesn't work for the typical RPG, unless it actually is a puzzle RPG. For a good sense of plot, you'd actually have to do pretty much all sidequests, otherwise (and even still) it kinda hangs loosely. I'm working on a new game, which has more structure, and at least has a framework of "go find 7 or whatever items to stop an evil demon." Cliche as heck, but at least it's coherent.

The New Earth

K, I test played with a full party about level 30, and simply kept on the offensive, and used mass skills to clear the enemies. I managed to eliminate the boss before it could counter with Terraform.

So I'm gonna need to retry waiting until it casts. K, I got stoned with one party member, and another got paralyzed. Yukira cast Terraform, but as suspected Kenpo survived. Used Ground Attack to clear the enemies. Yukira knocked out Kenpo, and prceeded to whack the paralyzed Gabriel. Gabriel finally snapped out of it, and cast True Resurrection. Hit again with Earth Smash, and used Greater Healing. I then used Punch the Waves, followed by Gabriel's Tornado. This is really effective (I've probably changed some things, but this dealt over 9999). Hit with Thunder Punch and the Yukira went down.

The New Earth

Terraform is (correct me if I'm wrong) an Earth attack. I think Heaven and a few other places have rings or armor that relate to Earth. They should give some resistance. Other than that, try to find the weakness, keep whatever party members alive (Kenpo should survive) and bash away at until it falls.

SPOILER (don't read ahead if you actually want to solve these on your own).

Whew, Fox you picked a big one. The other party members can be gathered in the following manner, Kenpo is underground in the grove of those trees. Grab the first pice of the Hanatetsudai, experiment with jumping the river nearby. When you get to the bottom, hit the bit of steel there (it's a switch), to open a subcave in lake. Goto the northearth section, and look for a weird looking bit of driftwood. Actually, this is the second part of the Hanatetsudai. You can later goto the itemseller and get it forged. Then you jump into the water there, and head east until there is a hydra. If you can last five turns, defeat the hydra before that (or even pick a hidden third option to the hydra's questions) Kenpo shows up. I think this also gives you a Silver Key or something. Go to the third town, and there's MewMew (I think originally, she required a key to get to, but the current version doesn't seem to have it). Anyway, the cutscene after Kenpo should have opened up the way to Heaven. So go up there, defeat Gabriel, and there will be a choice. Pick the one that mentions freeing Heaven up or something, and Gabriel will join your party.

So that's two requirements for the secret ending just there. Might as well tell it outright.

3rd task, Get the Eternal Spring Flask: Goto the item maker, and ask for a Empty flask, and choose the option to fill it while you're there.

4th task, get Inuyasha's "back-scratcher" (really the Tetsusaiga, but it isn't used as a weapon here): Goto heaven and walk along the invisible platforms, make your way near Inuyasha, and keep asking him for his back scratcher. He'll quit after about 6 askings.

5th task, martial artist mastery: In the same screen, ask an angel whether you can do martial arts training, and when she asks if it's okay to leave your friends behind, say "Maybe?" (hidden third option in un-updated versions). Then go back down, and there's a new stairway at the base of Heaven. Talk to the shrine and you'll have a trippy meditation sequence after which you can equip the ultimate martial arts.

6th task, ultimate character: This replaces Ashley with another character who can cast all types of spells (I think it changes her immunities though). After getting Gabriel go back to the three choices (now only two) and choose, I want the Boxes of Orden. Choose the correct one (I may wish to save your game, as one choice destroys the world, and the other destroys you). The correct one changes you into a new character. You can undo this by the back scratcher or flask items listed above. But this is a fairly decent character, so you might be okay with it.

7th task, the special cutscene: This is the one that is shown in the picture samples. Go into the forest and get to the small house nearby. Then look for the fireplace to start the cutscene (yea, the "romantic dialogue" is super-cheesy, sorry).

Find the dot on the map, and you can unlock the secret ending (if you have the latest version).

K, gonna test play versus Yakira to see if I can find anything out.
