What's Coming Up Soon!

Aye, like I said; understandable. I used them predominantly in the original MQ because they kicked so much ass :D In this one? I'm loving my current Knight Sword .. the paralyse effect is downright lethal and has helped me through more than one tough encounter.
Don't worry too much about the chainshot, it was really only used for puzzles anyhow - so adding it into the game at this stage would mean having to rewrite some of the maps to accommodate the new puzzle element. I love the sound of the Battlegrounds, with the reward aspect rather than the EXP aspect as they were used for in the original, but if there is one thing that is possible to be added; a Scan/Libra spell ^_^
Other than that? Excellent work so far! Absolutely loving the game --- though if I never see another Sahagin for the rest of my life, I will die a happy man XD
Yes, the dragon claw would be very hard to implement, so I'm not going to do it LOL!
At the end of a few of the battlefields you are going to see some pretty awesome bosses that, after defeating them, you'll get some beastly items :P
Thanks man, It really is hard work keeping up with the demands and fixing stuff. Hopefully this 1.5 version will be the one staying for a while whilst I sort out the new additions :)

I used the Bombs religiously in SNES MQ, multi-enemy hit? Om nom!
~edit~
Bombs are for single-enemies this time around (understandable :P) and they are 2h weapons? No shield when using Bombs?
Well due to thier high power there's got to be some sacrifice. Other wise it would be TOO easy :P
Plus if you think about it, you cant really hold a shield while you are trying to light a fuse and throwing a lethal object away from you :P
What's Coming Up Soon!
OK status update.
I've fixed the bugs that everyone mentioned this morning and currently I'm working on the battlefields (whoohoo). For each of the battlefields there is going to be an end boss (round 10) with some really good prizes you won't wanna miss.
After I've done that I'm going to go over Wintry Cave and add events where Phoebe gives you the Cat Claw. A little bit of a dissapointement for you guys is that it's not possible for me to implement the dragon claw hookshotting (i have no idea). So climbing with X is probably the best I can come up with right now.
After I've done that, the next thing to do is go right over the whole lot again and make a few improvements here and there. After that, I'll be creating a launcher for the game, and then ZIP it all up into the 1.5 installer.
If theres ANYTHING that needs sorting out that you have noticed in the 1.4 update please tell me before I upload the 1.5 version, since after I've done that I'll be working on the FMVs so you may not hear from me for a while.
OK, so watch this space!

With Patch 1.4, I got the error message "Unable to find file Graphics/battlebacks/WaterCave02" when I got into a random overworld encounter on the path to... Fireburg, I think it was called?
Working on it now, thanks :)
Bug Reporting and Feedback Blog

Saves from old game versions seems to be incompatible. I walked back to Foresta and there i get the message when i try to enter the bonde dungeon: The Bone Dungeons is to dangerous to enter now. And when i try to enter the Sand Tempel it says: You cant enter the Sand Tempel now. When i tryto go back to the Focus Tower it says: A Mysterious Force is blocking the way. I also cant enter Level Forest.
Only thing i can enter is Foresta and there i see Kaeli lying in her bed... But shes also in my Party.
I'm afraid so, there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about this, since these events are triggered at that point in the game, and your save wouldn't have these event switches saved. Really sorry about this and I am working hard on solving all of these issues :P
Bug Reporting and Feedback Blog
author=Cuauhtemocauthor=darkdesigngamesYou should add an option window command at the start of the game asking if the player wants fullscreen on startup or not =\...personally, I dislike playing games fullscreen.author=CuauhtemocThis was only done for people who may not know how to do this themselves. I found it annoying when I tested this game on another computer after building a huge installer only to find out it will start in a window by default. Then I had to build the installer all over again just to include the registry file. :P
After you install the game, you change the registry of pretty much every RPG maker made game to play in fullscreen at execution. I find that a bit tedious. But maybe that's just me. I think having the game to mimic keyboard key sequences (Alt+Enter) to achieve fullscreen seems more reasonable. Now all my RPG maker games start in fullscreen =\
Good idea, I could make a launcher as well to check for updates, etc, because the bug reports are rolling in! XD

Another Sugesstion from me^^
More Spells and Abilities for high lvl chars.
My benjamin just hit 99 and he didnt learn anything after lvl 70. Would be pretty cool to have Holyja and things like that.
Sure, I don't see why I can't put that in. I am working on Meteor for Phoebe and Kaeli as that was in the original game as well.

Ah, then I'll not bother.. haha. He cast Ninth Dimension every round when I fought him;
Cast > Benjamin died
Phoebe resurrects Benjamin
Cast > Phoebe died
Benjamin resurrects Phoebe
Ad infinitum, lol. When luck starts to play a part in things, that's when everything stops working for me - I'm insanely unlucky when it comes to randomised rolls.
XD It's worth the bother for the entire Ice level areas :P

Also, the battle background for the Ice Pyramid is the snow field, might want to change that to either the Wintry Cave or Falls Basin battle background.
Wow I can't believe I missed that. More work for me then :P
Final Fantasy : Mystic Quest Remastered
author=Animebryanauthor=darkdesigngamesActually I did have to start over. I went back to Foresta & noticed that Kaeli is in bed even though she's in my party, might want to fix that. But when I tried to go back into Focus Tower, the entrance said "blocked by a mysterious force" which I'm assuming is the fix to the entrance glitch that let's you skip getting the sand coin. Obviously the new switch that enables you to go in didn't exist before & depending on what triggers that switch, like getting the sand coin which I already have, it would be impossible to reenter the tower.author=AnimebryanNorton isn't compatible with many software :(author=darkdesigngamesI've dealt with the Norton problem. I had the settings to ignore the file but it still flagged the file. But it really crossed the line when it flagged & removed the game.exe. That's when I snapped & decided it was time to put the Norton Antivirus down, just like Old Yeller. Anyway, after I download the 1.4 patch will I still be able to continue with my save file or will I have to restart the game?author=AnimebryanI'm trying to duplicate this issue myself but its working for me. I'm looking at the event now.author=KenjiFayukeI'm having the same problem. Btw, I'm also having trouble with my Norton Antivirus blocking & deleting the RGSS202E.dll file.
Edit: After I beat the boss in the tree the tree tells me that he wants to teleport me out. He doesn't teleport me out there and I can't move or open the menu.
Norton is very funny about executable compression, I've had it flag RPG Maker VX before on many occasions. Simply allow the file through the ignore list and the problem will go away.
EDIT: I've found the cause of the problem. Strange how it didn't affect me during playthroughs, I will fix this immediately and will try to get the patch out as soon as I can. (The patch would include some of the latest changes as well, which is a bonus!)
P.S. How did you implement those battle backgrounds without switching to VX ACE? On your youtube account when I suggested it you said you like swirly backgrounds just the way they are.
No, you wont have to start over.
A very quick script that I put together that stops the swirl effect with a global switch then loads the external bitmap into the battle scene, however there's limitations as for each area that the player moves to, a event is created to change the background image for that area. It was a pain in the neck but eventually I got it to work without the hassle of completely redoing the project in Ace!
Yikes, I'm afraid then that you will need to start over. Sorry about this.
