MEISAM'S PROFILE

I hate myself when i do that, thanks

A game is all about adventure, in an adventure you find things and you learn thing, then you use them to remove the obstacles. Now I think the "find things" become the center of attention, and the "learn things" is either forgotten or become a natural outcome of "find things" as for finding things you need to face random encounter and receive EXP. So you search every barrel in a town and cabinet in a house to find something. Why these houses exist, if they don't have any purpose other than giving player a potion. Finding should not be only about weapon and armor they can be natural resources or alternative way to reach your destination. Learning should be more about using your available Option, of course with more options it should be easier to pick the right choice in a giving situation. When we didn't add eating and drinking as edchuy mentioned, we are removing unneeded processes and skip them, anything that look like a chore should be automatic. So why we don't remove those unnecessary houses, only giving the player access to places that have a reason to exist.

A lot of game mechanic that LockZ mentioned come from weak and lazy designs (no offense), IF there is some tactic and strategy in game, a smart player don't need to grind, and if someone come and complain that the game is hard, I can show him that I can play the game. It make that player to think "what is wrong with me" rather than "what is wrong with game". The whole fix exp is very wrong (in my view) you won't learn anything from defeating the same guy over and over, it's the concept of "diminishing return", it should be in every game to prevent player from spamming the same thing over and over.

Choice is the very essence of any RPG, witch is somehow forgotten. There are unlimited ways to give the player choices that change his destiny witch is not good or bad. It's very important that balance the choices, so there won't be "best choice" because then, player does not have a choice. Why MP does not regenerate? why MP should be such a important commodity, why magic should be strong and physical should be weak? World of Warcraft solved this very easily, a fighter is not weaker than a Mage offensively, they just work differently, balancing the choices and making them a preference solve all this problem. witch is easy to say but very hard to implement.

Gold, The only way I know for now is to not let the player buy military objects with gold, inventing another source of currency, Or mixing them together, like if you are soldier you can buy weak version of weapons and armor, if you are a general you can buy top notch equipments.

What i am saying here is only theory, making them happen is very hard and sometimes may seems impossible. Using treasure chest to cover this problems will never solve them, People always horde their MP for the boss, even if you give them 200 magic potion.

Oh thanks Marrend, I remember how much i laughed to that scene :)

Ruby dragon in ff8, was very important for acquiring strong magics, specially if you tried "no level up run" When laguna become a movie star :P.

I dunno what is wrong I tried to use a Scroll map event that follow a moving event, but the moving event stop every 60 frame, (like when the game lag). Both events are parallel. I find a script that can solve this problem, but I want to know how should I use this event.

Quevi is a cake walk compared to next region, (and don't forget to rescue Olian :P before clearing Quevi)

I farmed Startledshelly and got 2 teal medal and killed 10 metally (each one give 60kxp), but I had a lot of problem in volcano
