More Game Details...

Just gonna talk about some of the interesting elements I plan to implement in my game that I'm working on (one at a time)...
so, first (for no reason, I just thought it up a few seconds ago) I decided to put a "Support Relationship" system that gives the characters a certain bonus to their stats during battle when people they have strong bonds with are also in the battle party; these bonds show as soon as the characters are added to the party and a battle is successfully won with the related characters in the party; once it is "discovered" by the player (though nothing actually shows up on the status menus outside battle, the support only takes effect during battle), it is generally a good idea to keep using those characters as the relationship will "rank up" and status improvements will be more drastic and even new bonuses (like reduced spell-casting time) may be added; all support relationships start at C-rank and improve to B after 50 victories (the battle must be won, cannot have fled and none of the characters involved in the support can be KOed; boss battles do not count), to A after 200 additional victories, and S-rank after 500 more victories, however, only certain formations will give the character an S-rank bonus (these generally involve the people the character personally is closest to in the game); when a character successfully acheives a higher rank the message "___ has increased their support with ___" will appear and a special conversation between the characters will play; ok, so here's the list of who supports who, anyone marked with a * will be able to grant an S-rank bonus; note that earning victories for support rank w/ different characters are cumulative for the different types (couple, trio and full party) and the different characters so if Tati gets a victory and the other party members are Trice, Ash and Rhaan; she'll earn 1 victory towards her couple support from Trice and also from Ash; and 1 victory towards her trio support from Trice and Ash and also from Ash and Rhaan; and finally 1 victory towards the full party support from Trice, Ash and Rhaan...yay! xD (in general, party members who are in the group longer have more support relationships; this is why tati has noticebly more support than ihm or verona)

the actual benefits of these supports will be fully detailed in a later post in which I discuss the characters' various special attacks and abilities

now since i'm a "bad" guy what benefits do we get to counteract this if the "proper" team set up isnt used or leveled? do we get certain bonuses vs. certain PCs? do we get support bonuses if we work together? do we get new abilities for KILLING PCs? /grin

I've played the game, but never really understood what or how you use those support thing lol~

I'll be on less because I'm practicing for the play I'm in lol~
Break a leg right~

i wanna be a bad guy too

ok, Shock, you might be a npc or somethin...so, lol don't worry; few people (if any) are being left out...and to continue on my Support Relationship system...

Temp Characters
Temporary Characters are actually capable of receiving support from the main characters when they are present in the party with the designated character(s); these supports are capable of being raised to an A-rank and are completly one-sided (they only give bonuses to these temporary characters, not to the main)

Gandhi: Tati

Lily: Trice; Umbra

Oby: Jeauno

Khao: Ash

Nasla: Rhaan; Verona


Enemy Support
The enemy characters also can receive bonuses to their stats either when they're in certain groups with each other or when they encounter certain main or temporary characters in battle; they directly receive certain stat bonuses when fighting the specific characters ("gains strength") and can weaken a coupled bond by one rank when those supports exist ("counters couples"); they are, however, unable to effect the bonds of trios and fully party support as there is strength in numbers, lol

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DEATH COMES TO THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO FIGHT ME! tee hee

ok...now, I've bashed my head against the wall a few times trying to balance out the techniques and make them relatively cool in general for everyone...this will be slow but I plan to put up the FINAL lists now (so what's going up here is to be assumed as done and going into the game...if I do at anytime make an edit...and odds are I will per requests...I will edit the original post and also make a new post saying just what was edited) ok...here we go!

General Notes
This game is to be an action-style rpg with a battle system similar to that present in the Namco Tales of series of games; during battle, all special techniques are referred to as "Arts" and "Strike Arts" (weapon skills) can be used anytime after a regular attack combination or by themself at the cost of TP (technique points); "Magic Arts" (spells) also consume tp and require the character to charge the spell for a few seconds depending on the strength of the spell (with stronger spells having longer preparation time than weaker ones); Strike Artes can be linked together from Base->Master->Arcane to form long, effective combinations and more damage overall (as each additional hit causes slightly more damage than the previous); all lists detail the arts from as low as lv 1 as all party members join at the average level of all members and if for whatever reason no experience was ever gained, it is possible to end the game w/ lv 1 characters (highly challenging, but not impossible)...oh, and I have not yet confirmed the tp cost of all arts so for the moment, that detail will be omitted

Tatiyana:
Weapon: English-style Rapier

Standard Moves:
regular (attack button, no directional input) combo 1-Tati slashes from right to left
2-Tati slashes from left to right
3-Tati turns and slashes from top to bottom
advancing (attack button + left, right direction) combo- Tati does a total of 3 sword strikes with the final being a thrust after a slight pause (does not push enemy back on contact)
Low (attack button + down) combo- Tati does two stabs against her enemy while thrusting with the tip of her sword pointed at a 60 degree angle
Rising (attack button + up) combo- Tati jumps slightly and swings her sword arm in a wide arc, lifting the enemy into the air and/or striking an aerial enemy, then hits the enemy again as her arm comes back around before landing
Midair (attack button in mid-jump) attack- Tati does a downwards slash before landing from her jump

Strike Arts:
Tati's strike arts are a mix of moves similar to that of Stahn Aileron (Tales of Destiny), Leon Magnus (Tales of Destiny), Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia) and Chloe Valens (Tales of Legendia)...therefore, she's quite skilled at swordfighting! A number of her more advanced techniques also deal elemental damage so while her overall physical damage output isn't as high as Trice, Umbra nor Ihm, she can still cause reliable damage time and again with her myriad of sword techniques

ST wrote:so is it going to be kinda like a ffxi ripoff then?

umm...seriously, you think I'm that stupid? no one would ever have patience to play a game similar to ffxi...you know, considering how frustrating the game (ffxi) is to begin with lol, no, the closest games that this project of mine are similar to is the "Tales of..." series by Namco-Bandai; in other words, expect a dynamic, multiplayer battle system with an epic storyline detailing the exploits/lives of the characters; because the characters are based off people I know, all events occuring during the game are ficticious and in no way to be taken as fact in terms of the people involved...I kinda tried to make this clear in all my previous topics concerning this (seriously, do people really READ this stuff? lol, you make me wonder Shock)

wtf i can't read anything that has more then 6 letters
