See you in 2234.

I'm exactly the same way. Back when I played Final Fantasy 12 for PS2 I had 6 party members at Level 30. You only needed to use 3 party members so why did I raise ones I wasn't even using? Your guess is as good as mine.

Being able to swap party members during combat (as well as designing troops to be more complex than bags of hit points) could make it justifiable to level everyone not being immediately used.

Yeah... But thinking back I could of been at Level 40 if I stuck to 3 party members.

I hear you there. Took me 6 weeks to do all the game and postgame stuff.

In 5 it took me over 400 hours, in 1 it took me about 150 hours or so. I guess in 4 it will be >= 400 hours again, maybe.
Haven't played the other ones yet.

None of that is wrong unless you don't finish or hold yourself to a timeline that cannot be achieved.

I hate randomized stats because RNG hates me...

Okay in my status post below somebody sad you should never restart, but if it is okay then I am happy.

Nothing like sweeping past things we don't want people to see under the rug. I still keep assorted old versions of projects just to remind myself how much better the new stuff is.

Inb4, in next few months:
"Today I've restarted my project to improve upon the earlier maps/events, because of everything I've learned in the development process."

As I know how long it took and can imagine how long it will take again (hopefully not as long as the first time) probably not gonna restart this a second time. One time is enough.
I also have new ideas and I thought they can be better implemented into a fresh project, so I decided to restart. If it wont work I can still continue the first project.

@bgillisp I second that. Although it isn't age for me, it's epilepsy xD playing ATB games is torture xD

@Prescott : Yep. That's the reason many do like turn based, as usually anything action based is usually only viable to play between the ages of 12 - 30. And if you have perfect health.

Which is why I stayed turn based. Many gamers are older now, and doing anything else makes them unable to play your game well.

@bgillisp: Well as I only own Nintendo Consoles I've not played one that came before Lydie & Suelle except the remakes of the Arland Series. I thought the bosses are okay, except the ones from Roronas Post Game Content and the optional ones. Also the bosses in Lulua towards the end where quite overleveled. I still love the worlds, so I might still try out Ryza.

What if the scientists are also using a random name generator or just faceroll on the keyboard and see if a good name comes up.

LOL! I think they do just use random names for new planets. I mean, PSR B1257+12 A is nicknamed 'Draugr'.

@FrozenNorseman: Well if I have a world name I can use it to create a game name, too. Currently the project is just called "Yet another lame RPG Maker game" and I even do not know if that name has already been used.

Well, that's still okay. One day I released a tiny plugin that not only did not do what it was supposed to do, but was outright false. Took me two years to notice it and fix it. Nobody complained though, so looks like nobody used it. XD

I had a song that stopped playing after I released a mod one time. It was supposed to trigger when entering a room, but it didn't. It did when I was playtesting, though. I feel your pain, kinda.

Insert Bethesda joke here.

Don't worry about it, most people dive right in at the deep end.

We all need to learn and we all do so from experience xD

Sometimes we need to take breaks from making our game's especially when you are developing the game on your own. It's a lot of detailed work for one person. I myself is creating a game on my own and I definitely have days where I just won't go on it.
You will complete it! Don't worry!

A worthy expenditure of time, nonetheless

I wanted to write beaten not between.
Obviously I don't know Bangla, so sorry if I used a bad word. It's just the name of the strongest boss in Disgaea 5.

It's also the name\title of a few different gods in Mesopotamian and Semetic pantheons. I think it may have also been used a honorific for mortals, too. Baal is also recognised as a king of Hell in demonology.

I really hate not being able to correct typos and spelling mistakes. >.<

I breeze through a lot of dialogues too. I also save a lot of time in battles, because many battles are rather straightforward.

Yes first I am really a little bad in some of those games and second I always try to explore every single optional path/side story before continuing the main story in case the game actually let's me do that. I cannot understand japanese and I read a little bit faster than I hear.

In my first comment I wrote "just for the main story". That was a little bit misleading I meant "Main Story + optional stuff during the main story", so I meant without the post game.

It makes the game more interesting to always be underleveled than overleveled also and I'm betting the devs don't want you being overleveled on the last boss.

Actuall 60+ hours.
I don't want to be overleveled, I just want to be equally leveled or at least only 2 levels below, like it was during the entire game, but suddenly being 20 levels below because the curve changes drastically during the end game was a bit of surprise for me.

I really don't like the grinding and I am annoyed by it. I am just to motivated to actually finish at least he main story. So I almost never give up.

Very hard optional bosses may be okay, if they are really optional! What I mean is, if the game has a post game story and it is required to beat them to advance the post game story, then it is not okay.

I have to take care not to create something like this myself.

Fire Emblem Echoes did something like that. Where the post game was a giant, super hard dungeon with a powerful boss at the end.

What made it even better was the fact that it actually fit within the lore and helped establish something that happens further down the timeline.

I don't mind many HP, plus high defenses. That is just how bosses normally are designed to make you require some strategy in order to beat. I just hate it if it has a enormous attack value, too. Where is the purpose if it requires 20-40 hits to beat, but in return 2 or even 1 shots your entire party. I guess that means I did something wrong earlier in the game.

I've read that in several animes and video games before but, I didn't realize how large the corporation is till I bought MV-

Me too, they are everywhere.^^
In the future we will be ruled by the Kadokawa Corp and every year a Iron Maker Tournament is held. xD

PixelmovementcompatiblewithYanfly'splugin lol

I never run out of ideas for plugins! I have around 60 ideas or so at any one time. Just need a programmer to do them (I know a little JS, but probably not enough for this stuff).
