Title: Relics of Nature's Fury
Story Synopsis: 1,000 years ago, a great battle was fought between nine great heroes and Flynn, the embodiment of darkness. After a long battle, Flynn was defeated... or was he? In the present day world of Thraetenalp, a young man wanders the continent of Noramer. When he fights some bandits near the town of Growlston, he reports it to the mayor. This kicks off a massive journey in which the young man will find out his relation to the nine great heroes, and how Flynn was merely slumbering for the past millennium. New friends and new powers wait in Relics of Nature's Fury.

Demo 2Yes, I'm going backwards on demo count, it appears. Oh well.
[spoiler=ORIGINAL POST OF ANTIQUITY]This is an idea I've had for about a year, but lacked RPG Maker. Still don't have it, but any help with sprites and sounds would be greatly appreciated. THIS IS NOT A ZELDA GAME! My basic idea is a classic-style RPG. Random battles, but only 1 party member. Spell names are unique, but follow the FF-Style spell-naming system (e.g. Frigi, Frigira, Frigiga). Every once in a while, you may perform the ultimate, "Magna" version of the spell, such as Magnafrigiga. The character (still unnamed) will learn special attacks throughout the course of the game, called "Rush" attacks for the time being. Attacks may include Inferno Rush, Avalanche Rush, Final Rush, Ultimate Rush, etc. Also throughout the game, the character will gain the power of 8 elements channeled into his blade. The elements are Fire, Ice, Lightning, Air, Water, Light, Dark, and Time. I've been playing around with ideas such as him dual-wielding blades, each with four elements when fully powered-up. I'll give spell names later, with the FF spell they are derived from. Let me know what you guys, and girls, think! I look forward to your feedback!
[edit 2/14/08 5:10 PM PST] UPDATE! Legacyoftheoracles is allowing me to use his free game idea 1: Rainbow Wardrobe for my game. He will, of course, be credited. In other news, I thought I'd say that I will only use MIDI's from VGMusic in my game for the background music. Unsure what actual songs though.
[edit 2/17/08 12:46 PM PST] UPDATE! My mistake, I had 9 elements planned. Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Ice, Thunder, Holy, Shadow, and Time. Some elements can be combined for special attacks. Earth/Fire performs the Kiln Attack, in which the enemy is covered in clay, then superheated with fire until encased in ceramics, which then breaks. May cause petrification. Higher chance of gradual petrification. Most commonly just damages. Thunder/Water performs Sizzler, which drenches enemies then zaps them with lightning to do extreme damage. May cause paralysis. In the same way, one element may cancel out another when combined. Water cancels out Ice, Holy cancels out Shadow, and Fire cancels out Ice. Now for the spell names.

Still thinking of what to call the summons, and what they could be. If you have any ideas, let me know. Also, the final element, Time, will be in character's blade since the start, but will be split between the two (yes, two swords) and character will only learn to use it once he learns to press the half-clock face on each blade next to each other to make one, complete clock face. Thereby character learns how to use Time-related Rush attacks. So once character learns how to use a new element, he will learn the Rush attack related to it. In this case, I'm thinking Chronos Rush. Well? Feedback, anyone?

will this constitute this game as a WIP? if so, please move this topics, mods. AND PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THIS GAME!
[edit 8/03/08 2:18 PM PDT] A while since my last update. DEMO 3 as I call it. Ironically, there may not be a Demo 4 (or at least one that retains the dungeons of the previous 3).
