SPEJOKU'S PROFILE

Hey hey awesome! I hope it's the zodiac job system version I'd they're just doing a remaster. I liked 12 a lot, van and Penelo aside.

oh man who can forget this jerk



the first time I fought him in the pokemon league I was like 7 and had a woefully unprepared team, but i did it i beat him and it was the best thing ever.

I absolutely adore the paper mario ttyd system, but i also very much love the persona and smt press-turn system (and its deriviatives.)



The paper mario system makes each input feel fun. Each attack has a minimum possible damage, and that makes when you succeed at an input feel like you are getting a bonus. Plus, the ability to defend during the opponent's turn rewards you for learning the system and makes you as a player feel good about when you defend well- especially when you start getting good enough to do stylish moves and superguards. And the play aesthetic is just fantastic, getting power from appealing to the audience to the audience's reactions impacting the battle- paper mario's systems are amazing.



On the other hand you have the press turn system in shin megami tensei 4 and it's counterpart with the persona series. These systems carry an incredible emphasis on strategy- unless you are massively overleveled, you usually cant just attack your way through each battle and come out fine. The enemies hit very hard, and the game knowingly restricts your recovery options, usually for mp. But when you hit the enemy's weak point, you get an extra turn, and you can keep on chaining extra turns and doing more damage. It rewards you in a very tangible way, and by doing so makes the player want to get as many extra turns as possible, because for every turn they get its another chance to deal damage to the enemy before the enemy can hit them.

My biggest complaint in the persona games is how if the main character dies its game over no matter if your other party members are alive, but persona 4 at least has several safeguards put in place and in SMT 4 it all out ignores that- though unless your demons in 4 can use items or a revive spell youre going to have to hope they can survive the rest of the battle (you revive at 1 hp after a fight).

I think the reasons i love these systems is because they reward you for thinking through every fight- each input has weight, either in paper mario's action commands or in megaten's selection of weaknesses. It makes every battle engaging.

Hey you can also get non-wacom dealies that are pretty good too! i've got a monoprice tablet that's worked fantastically for the last three years. it cost all of 50 bucks? yeah. like 54 with shipping. monoprice tablets are pretty dang cheap compared to other tablets.

ok so I actually have an artblog and whatnot, but I wanted to start a thing here for character concept art and other things that I can use for character and story ideas for rpg maker.

Have some character designs (spoilered because they're kind of huge images sometimes sorry. if it's too big, please open it in a new tab so it'll get auto resized. i really need to check my image sizes when i upload them, im sorry):
