Default About ATB Battle system

is the battle system gonna be a ATB like in FF7? or are you keeping the original system? I've noticed the ATB bar in that SS of the dragon so I would just like to know.

I'm really excited about this, I cant wait to get my hands on it!
Dude, I hate the ATB battle system as much as you probably do, and I would like nothing more than to get rid of it. However, one of the worst limitations of RPGm2003 is that I can't! Therefore, I'll include the option to switch from "Active" to "Wait." This way, if you want Active real-time battles, you can have them, and if you want it to be more like the original, you can turn them off.

NOTE: The time it takes for the ATB meter to fill up will be based on your # of hits at your current level, and so will the monster's meter... For instance, Kraken gets 8 hits. If your Ninja is getting 6 hits per round at that point, he'll still get in 3 hits to Kraken's 4. The damage done in a normal round in the original will be divided by your number of hits, so it will all work out... The only difference will be that you can make different choices for each "hit"--(so can the monster!) This will actually add a degree of difficulty, believe it or not!

I'm also going to randomly place sages throughout the game to give you info about the remake... they will say something to the effect of "I am a student of Mihalis, and I'm here to answer your questions, etc.. etc.."

I'm also adding ME to the game (in the Bonus World). My NPC will be at the castle of Yulthorpe, which you might find eventually... I will give you hints and advice pertaining to the Bonus World at that point (my walking graphic is my Avatar here).

Here's a quick update of what I've done for the Bonus World so far:

*The entire 256x256-tile overworld map
*Malboro Cave--tunnel back to real world (of course)
*Town of Geheimnis (German for "mystery"), seen in my sample screenshot of "part" of the Bonus World map...
*DRGN and TRVL level 9 magics

Next I'll be working on the Sage and Summoner classes, and the "Spring of Enchantment" dungeon.

Drinking from the "Spring of "Enchantment" will be required in order to enter the Castle of Wisdom to become a Sage, and also to be able to use items such as Phoenix Downs, Elixirs, and Ethers (as well as certain other items).

Thanks for your interest!!

In all seriousness this sounds very cool, and I can't wait to try this out.

Default New music in the Bonus World...

I accidentally posted to a new thread instead of 'Reply' ... oops! =O Anyways, I have written my very own dungeon theme for many of the dungeons in the Bonus World, and it will be used in addition to the original ones. I needed a "slower" one to set the mood in certain places, so that's what this one will do!

I have attached the tune in case you're interested, and thanks again, folks!

You won't need RM2k3 to play this, as I'm including the runtime package...

Man I love that background music.

Your Second world should have a matching storyline, like an extension to the original. Like...
This is were the four fiends once ruled over the people, but they rebelled and sent them into the first world and used the four orbs to seel them there and Garland was the one to release them (He might have been the good guy but turned evil and went threw the Malboro cave to free the Fiends. It would give alot more info about why Garland is evil. So we can get more background on the fiends as well.

Its only an Idea, but knowone else seems to be giving any ideas about the second worlds storyline.
