47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Havok and Leila both sound good to me, Leila's personal skill sounds neat, and I think doable. I think I know how to make all these earlygame dark mage recruitments work, too, yeah this should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrobin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Guess I should throw my hat into the character ring. Name: Zero Class: Assasin (Level 5) Joins: About 2/3's in, when you start promoting. Bio: An artificial humanoid created by (Insert Villain Name) that disagreed with his actions and ideals and grew a soul. Created as an Assasin to kill (insert good party-allied noble), but finally decided not to and joined (Hero's) group. He chose his name based on his lack of knowledge or personality, being empty and hollow, like the number 0. The one who angsts the most. Stats: HP: 25 Strength: 15 Defence: 13 Skill: 27 Speed: 21 Resistance: 10 Luck: 18 Personal Skill: Born to Kill Zero gains a boost to Skill and Speed after Lethality activates.

47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Cool, sure, that sounds good, too! I feel like I should direct people to some resources like Nickt's sprite collection and the SF open resource gallery--if you see a portrait there that fits your character reasonably well (I can handle recoloring if the original artist allows (they should)), bring it on over and we'll use that!

Augestein Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I forgot to ask, do I need to have the "talking" mouths or what not for the portrait? I'm going to try to make one this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrobin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Oh, can you give me a top ten on my weapon ideas? I'd like to see what I'm doing right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I forgot to ask, do I need to have the "talking" mouths or what not for the portrait? I'm going to try to make one this weekend. Oh, yeah. Forgot about this part. Stephan doesn't have them, either, as I've never made an "animated" sprite before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Talking/blinking frames are always nice, especially blinking ones. If your character doesn't blink, it would be preferable that that's by design, but it is okay! Dancing Edge: If Wielder Speed is 3x greater than Enemy, you get 3 attacks instead of 2. (Meant for Thieves and Myrmidons) My favorite by far--it's a really cool idea, and reasonably balanced but in a way that emphasizes what are already the strengths of certain units. Stop (Staff that has a range of Mag/2, cuts Enemy Speed in half and prevents movement) Dull Weapon (Staff with range of Mag/2, cuts Attack in half) Haste (Staff, Range of Mag/2, doubles an allies Speed) You wouldn't know this from GBA, but statuses are pretty easy in FEXNA, and they were pretty underused in the series until Fates. Thunderstorm (Bolting, but has a cross-shaped 5 space AOE) Healer: Heal any character at Magic/2 range and any ally character in the four spaces surrounding them. I like these AoE ideas, they're also very cool, but sadly I don't know if I'll be able to implement them. Wrath Sword (Might doubles when below half HP) It's like attaching a skill to a weapon, but in a way that's specitic to the weapon, which is cool. Sword Rain (Anima Tome, uses Wielder Magic vs. Enemy Defence) Weapons that target resistance are common, but magic that targets defense is actually pretty unique. Quick Bow (Doubles Speed of Wielder) Graceful Sword (Ups Speed and Skill by 3, but lowers Defence and Resistance by 3 as well) Guard Lance: +3 Defence and Resistance, -3 Speed and Skill (meant for Knights) Weapons that modify stats are more interesting than normal weapons, but I'm not sure how good an idea it is to make lots of weapons that do stuff like this, since it can bloat the armory pretty fast. Darkreaver (Anima tome that reverses the magic triangle) Animareaver (see above, Light Tome)Lightreaver (see above, Dark Tome) Magic trinity reavers aren't a bad idea, not at all, but I can't say they're thrilling enough to warrant trying to figure out the spell animations. Brave Flare (Fire Tome with Brave effect) Runeblade (Uses Wielder Strength vs. Enemy Resistance to deal damage) Bloodedge (Sword with Nosferatu's Life Drain ability) Onyx Sword (1-2 Range Sword, acts like Flux a 2 Range)Ruby Blade (1-2, acts like Fire)Emerald Sword (1-2, acts like Wind)Topaz Blade (Acts like Thunder)Diamond Blade (Acts like Shine) These are pretty much already-existing ideas--great for character-unique weapons, but I don't think I need this many magic swords.

Corrobin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Good. It's nice to know what ideas you like. Expanding on ideas: Slow Blade: Wielder cannot double, but neither can enemy. Brave Flux: Flux Tome, but with a Brave effect. It makes sense because Dark Magic is heavy! Armor Shredder: Enemy Defense is dropped by 4 after combat. Piercing Bow: Ignores half of enemy Defense. Izanami: Dark Tome, has Lethality attached to it innately. Hades: Dark Tome, 20% Chance to ignore enemy Resistance When I do this, tell me what you like and what you don't ASAP.

Alex95 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'll just have Stephan be the odd man out and not have him blink or move his mouth. Similar to my game, haha! If you want to add the animations, you can. ...I don't know how to set that up myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augestein Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Argh. One last thing, are the size limitations still the same in XNA? As well as colors and junk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Hades sounds kinda unwieldy, it reminds me of something Klokinator would use in his games. Luna in general is too weak earlygame and too strong lategame, so I'm just going to make it halve resistance instead of ignoring it, like piercing bow. Overall, though, yes, stuff like those--take your favorite Fates skills and either suggest them or tie them to weapons, because there are too many for me to choose from. Sprites can be up to 4096x4096 and 255 colors. In other words, don't worry about it~ Edited March 31, 2016 by 47948201 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augestein Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Also, do you need sounds or music either? I believe I have a couple of songs lying around that I don't plan on using for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 The soundtrack will be FE11/12, rearranged with FE7 instruments.

eclipse Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I can do level-up quotes, then. Not sure what/where you're going to put each limit (I'd to 0-1, 2-3, etc.), so I'll just list 'em in order, from worst to best. Worst "What a disappointment. I'm sorry, Big Sis." "Revenge doesn't have to come all at once." "I can work with this." "Face me, if you dare." "Do my best every day...that's what you always said, Big Sis..." Best Personal skill: Just. . .make it more useful than Indoor Fighter on a map full of grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobyTheGoober Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) *Cough* Character name: Rolo Profile: A leader of a insane cult. He has a natural charisma to attract those who tamper in the dark arts. His cult worships him, and him alone. He is a narcissist. He's pretty goofy, and has the qualities of a Jehovah's witness member. Class: Thief that promotes into a dark druid(nergal class). Would it be possible if you could make it so it's just a tiny kid wearing huge ass nergal robes that flop onto the ground?(Promoted animation only) (Loses ability to lose swords when promotes) Growths Hp: 65 Str and Mag:40 Spd:55 Skl: 75 Luck: 10 Def:30 Res;55 Base con is 7 Base stats: Hp: 20 Str: 6 Mag: 10 Spd: 13 Def: 5 Res:13 Skl: 10 Luck: 0 When he promotes he gets D rank in Dark magic. Join game He shows up as a boss of a chapter. In order to recruit him, you must kill all the cultist units. The chapter he's in has a limit of 16 turns, so you gotta be quick! Skills he learns: Rally Magic at start (3 range) Ignis (FE A) at level 15 Sol as level 5 dark druid. At level 10 dark druid, is it possible for him to get a command sort of like capture/kidnap? (If possible, maybe more Thracia styled?) Edited May 21, 2016 by CobyTheGoober Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 (I'm going to weeb for a second and say Yomotshi is an impossible word) Upgrading weapons, hm... I dunno, I'll keep them in mind in case someone suggests a character that could use them, but the main character is a mage, so... Also! I wrote up some quick-reference notes on the characters so far--please correct me if I made any glaring errors! (very possible, I just skimmed the thread now) Ewan Shaman earlygame-HAS MUG probably in the cult Some generic-looking dude who only has a unique palette that's previously implied to be recruitable Stephan Mercenary Silver Sword-HAS MUG appears mid-chapter from nowhere and is confused but joins fight as NPC, talk with hero Barbas General some axe-HAS MUG powered by constructs Mondo Cleric AoE heal and/or counter-NO MUG, NO DESC in a village, decides to join because you need a healer (even if you really don't) Aerune Shaman Midgame, ready to promote, Colossus, NO MUG, NO DESC green unit in castle where he goes to open chest maybe more important that he can recruit himself on hero Arulle Mercenary/Hero-MAS MUG spawns in middle of plains, must talk to her before boss does or she appears near endgame as a powerful enemy Mcdoga Mercenary Sain with black hair and armor defending village in chapter Stephan appears, playable from start Fenix Thief Axes-NO MUG, maybe skull mask? or maybe just hide face with hood shadow idk talks with hero but idk how, I should've read more carefully the first time! Dominik Conscript Knight Wyvernknight-Canas with no monocle and blonde hair appear on turn 2 as green unit, recruit with mcdoga Havok Sniper-NO MUG, NO DESC probably starts green unit with 1 use silver bow and low hp idk, talk with hero Leila Shaman earlygame-NO MUG, candy pink long flowing hair at shoulder length (ask marc the logistics of how that's possible) and jet black eyes, cloak with popped collar probably a green unit or joins at chapter start? Zero Assassin joins about 2/3 through game-NO MUG, NO DESC mission to kill Al but talk with someone and he joins Rolo Thief Dark Druid shota in giant robes-HAS MUG either auto-join at start or after you beat up his cult so he joins you to make a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrobin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Okay, how about just Yomo? Oh, and Zero joins at the start of chapter. You first see him in a "Meanwhile, at villain hideout" cutscenes a few chapters before he joins. There's some minor cutscenes about him conflicted, he makes up his mind and joins you after that.

47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 ... Yorno is also an impossible word oh okay so he's hired by the main villain but doesn't want to do it so he catches up with you and joins to take down the other villain people sure absolutely workable~ (I don't know if I'll be having cutscenes actually of the villain hideout or whatever, but I should be able to figure something out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrobin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Not hired. Created. He's an artificial human, or Homunculus. Shikura, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 All righty, the main villain is a dark mage so it makes sense that he'd be able to make him, I guess in that case I'll have him make more people too. Shikura, all legal sounds, should work! I might end up looking into some meaning of things before I use them, though. "death warehouse" doesn't make much sense for a weapon, but maybe it does, it might be funny enough to warrant using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrobin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yomotshikura is the Japanese underworld. Shikura is just a shortened version to expand into the real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
