8-bit theater; the game?!

Daddie · 03-29-2008, 03:24 PM

Suppose that a 8-bit Theater game was going to be made, that it would have the same look-and-feel of the older Final Fantasy titles by Squaresoft and obviously, be a RPG. A lot of stuff wouldn't be decided yet. What would you, the average 8BT fan, would like to see in it?

Single character, fixed or selectable party?
Battle system; Turn based, Phantasy Star/Real-time fight or strategy type?
Stats; Editable/True rpg elements or fixed, standard FF-like stats that grows by themselves?
A script following the 8BT story or a cutscene like adventure that never happened in the comics?
Particular magic/weapon/armor/item you'd like to see, such as the Armoire of Invincibility or the (in)famous Sword-chucks?

I'm just curious to see what you'd come with... :rmage:

I haven't told Brian about it yet, but if he reads this paragraph he'll probably know anyway (Hi Brian!) but I've been working on an RPG engine in flash for a while, trying to make it as close as possible in style as popular early rpg games such as Dragon Quest and of course, FF (read: I put efforts into it). I may be an awesome programmer but I lack originality to make a successful story for a RPG, and since I'm such a hardcore fan of 8BT, I thought maybe the Great Brian Clevinger would accept to sponsor it with a nice script in exchange of an addictive game and yet more publicity.

That's just a maybe of course...
