The Grumpy Knight

Just finished my first playthrough got the Normal ending but I was pretty sure I figured out how to get the true ending about half way through and the after credit hints pretty much confirmed it...with the death scythe and the ring of death i might try hard mode this time.

As for my favorite party I went with:

1. Elsa - Initially because you have to but her abilities make her really versatile and can easily adapt to playing the healer (Blood), the damage dealer (Frost) or the damage taker (Bone) personally I found Blood and Ice the most useful as between Alan and to a lesser extent Argos I had plenty of tanking power. (Fun note: I renamed her Rachel which is what I use for most female protagonists ie. FemShep and it was fun to find out her grandmas name was Rachel I just thought to myself it's a family name :D)

2. Alan - At 1st I thought he was going to be useless since his only ability was monsters hate him but once he got the ability to attack after guarding (making him an ideal damage soak) he started to build EX really quickly than he got berserk which charges whenever he attacks which includes the defensive attack so between his rapid EX gain and the fact he attacks every turn it got up to 1000+% DMG pretty expediently he became a great damage dealer vs. bosses

3. Argos - This guy was key to my success against most boss monsters being able to crank all my characters to 400HP and 20 Defense power really helped against the more powerful boss attacks and some of the more tough normal enemies. Also if I needed to I could throw out Warriors Prayer to draw fire away from Alan. Lastly besides Elsa (blood fountain is amazing) he's the most consistent healer IMO mainly because unlike others there's no limit to his healing (ie. Ruby's spells need to charge which takes too many turns, Victoria's healing is too reliant on monster action, etc.) you just choose who you heal and it happens. I couldn't figure out what the protective ward spell did though.

4. Tira Misu - First off the premise of the character is hilarious Food+Explosions FTW but Lemon Meringue Shurikens were my best damage dealer throughout the majority of the game and once I got the death ring and started having Elsa smack Blood Fix on TM whenever possible this lady became unstoppable especially with 20 DEF and 400 HP from Argos. I rarely ever used the healing foods though.

Oh despite this being my favorite party I actually enjoyed messing with all the other characters unique abilities and I must give Carmen an Honorable mention for killing the Second Shadow Sibling for me with Death's Scythe.

Basic Battle Strategy: Argos boosts everyone's HP than defenses, Alan Guards...ALOT than uses berserk at around 1000% DMG, rinse, repeat), Elsa uses Blood Fix on Tira Misu whenever possible to boost EX otherwise uses Ex Pots on TM until they run out than Blood Fountain or best Ice Attack that doesn't use a death rune, Tira Misu Bakes Dangerous foods a bunch of times until EX is at a good level...than I kill the boss :)

Favorite/Hardest Enemies: The Slime and the first Shadow Sibling: The former messed with my BBS and killed me multiple times before I figured out the trick, the latter forced me to invent my BBS to beat him since he'd heal any damage dealt at the end of his turn (it seemed at least) so I cranked up Tira Misu's EX and blew him to kingdom cum.

One note though the RD was fairly useless you may have well just had the queen grant Elsa's new swords along with the levels I would have like to have seen new weapons for the other characters as well(if only to get some more awesome flavour text :D)...this is a VERY minor issue though I had a great time with the game and I was actually in a really bad mood when I downloaded this and it cheered me up so thank you :D

I hope to see more light hearted RPGs like this....any suggestions?

A question...

- Slash, Flea and Ozzie (Chrono Trigger)
- Some Mechs & Pilots from Front Mission (think the mech suits from FF6 with heavy weaponry)
- The Slime Family (Slime, Red-slime, Sheslime, King Slime, Metal SLime,etc.)
- Spekkio (The shapeshifting guy for The End of Time in Chrono Trigger)
- A Random assortment of various Sqeenix characters :D
- Rocket Slime (Awesome Dragon Quest Spin-off game)

Tentative Game Introduction

When playing the game is there a full screen game or 800x600 only? Be a while since I played VX Ace game

Goodbye, Materia... hello, Paradigm Manuals!

Can we not name a system after that disgrace that claims to be a Final Fantasy game.

On the other hand (unless I'm misreading this) this seems to have some aspects of learning special traits from equipment a la FF9...thats awesome

Oh Clyve, the new guys can't tell when you're being... you.

This project was being made by a team of individuals (myself included). My work on it has been completed and last I heard, it's still being worked on in RPG Maker XP and would possibly be moved to VX Ace. Not sure what they decided on.


Any chance your still in contact with them...possibly know where their roosting nowadays?

Awesome I approve than :D

Materia Changes? Need insight.

I'd say a mix of 1 & 3 so some could grant spells, available equipment and/or a new skill for example theif materia adds the steal ability and allows use of daggers but the white mage materia grants Cure and the use of hammers.

It would also be cool (if possible) if their abilities grew either have the materia itself level up or have it reliant on user level...ie. White Mage eventually get Cura,Esuna,etc.

Another cool thing would be to have some bosses drop their own materias which come with some of their abilities or something.

In short stick to Job based materia but have some "special" materias such as boss materias and of course a few secret materia :)

So is this project cancelled?
