SBESTER'S PROFILE

Which is probably what most people do in common speak (shorten it in a way that makes sense to them). Tranny is a term you hear often enough, and the conversion makes a lot more sense than Black = Nigger or Gay = Faggot, so to say it's on par with being as offensive... I choose to believe that most people aren't using it in such a way.

Trihan brought up a really good point, it's too bad his comment got lost at the butt end of the last page and no one saw it.

@Link_2112- Calunio isn't creepy. As I understand it, it's all just a big psychological study for him. He's never let the success of his games go to his head either, as he's been quite loyal to this community.

I'm really in the mood for playing a somewhat traditional RPG, with a focus on character development, character customization, maybe many possible characters (in a party of 4), with either a great story or not much focus on the story. I actually feel like grinding in battles so I can level up characters and customize them, but most traditional RPGs (here) either have too much walking and talking, and/or they have a linear character progression that is just not very appealing.

Not sure if you've played the Eden Legacy games, they're really oldschool with not much focus on story but you can customize your character (plural in the sequels) by choosing your skills every time you level up. You can choose the game's difficulty by opting to not choose heal type skills along the way, for instance, and there is an energy system that forces you to replenish your energy before being able to use heavier attacks (basically, this means mp refills every other turn, forcing you to choose carefully your attacks each and every turn). It's a numbers thing, and it becomes more interesting as you gain more skills.

It's intentionally primitive and the dialogue is very limited, which not many people have liked but it sounds like it may be what you are looking for atm. The trilogy edition version (1.3) is available for the first game, but I heard from someone they couldn't get it to work. If that's really the case, the original versions are available on their respective game pages and they aren't too much different.

I'm actually reading the VN right now (Christ is it ever LONG). I'm not so into forum RPGs though :P

This thread is severely underrated, you do a pretty damned good job on these! I'll be making a request in the future for sure!
