  1. You guys both made some very valid points. I have a big exam tomorrow (the last one, thankfully) so yeah, I don't have much time to rework your stuff and add it to the OP right now... But I will do so in the week-end
  2. As usual, Nova talks too much. Yes, during the main game the sole canon mons will be Eevee and Ditto. But what about the post-game (where in theory one should obtain the National Pokedex)? We shall see...
  3. I bought one of those toy guns that produce a small flag with "bang!" written on it, which looks identical to my actual gun. So yeah, pointing it at people who know I have a gun and pulling the trigger makes for some good laughs...

      lol the real one is twice as heavy as the toy one, I could never get confused :P

      pfff... "flag-gun"... NERF-Guns are better and more fun! :P

      Of course you would never get confused, but the other person has to look at your reactions :D

  4. Welp, I could now make some hypocritical post about how I did this for the people and not for personal glory, but... Yeah, I do have an attention-seeking side ( I wouldn't write fanfictions or work on a project like Se7en if I didn't), so I am glad to see this pinned. On a more serious note, I do hope that this will be helpful for people who want to make a fangame: keep in mind that these guidelines can always be improved, heck I even added an entire point following a suggestion from Anvilicious once... So yeah, now that this topic has been revived, if you think that some points could use some improvement or that entirely new points should be added, please do post here
  5. http://imgur.com/uCyQkro Let's just say the localization team didn't put a lot of effort in Ar Tonelico 2...
  6. But but but... I am not an altruist at all...
  7. http://i.imgur.com/ClKV8WL.jpg Getting a monster with an original Atk of 500 to run over Blue Eyes: priceless.
  8. I have stated many times that this project does not NEED megas. That's the main reason. And Cepheus what's the point in coding in the Link Stone when we are designing all the evolutionary methods of our Pokemon ourselves? I mean, if I have to design, for a game that has no trade function, a Pokemon to evolve by trade so that I then must code in the Link Stone (thus effectively making it an evolution by stone), might as well make it an evolution by stone to begin with, using some stone that is already in Essentials, which saves time. This was the main reason for abolishing trade evolutions.
  9. Yeah pretty much. Dark and edgy plot, field effects, Mega Evolution: all these elements have been used, by canon games and by Reborn/Rejuv, to add novelty and difficulty to the product. But with 150+ new Pokemon, each of which is completely unknown to the average player (as in, you have no way of knowing anything about them in advance), that's all the novelty and difficulty we need. I'll be honest here: our main focus are the fakemon. Our main selling point are the fakemon. Our target demographic are people who miss the emotions of playing RBY for the first time, and appreciate the fakemon. The plot WILL deal with rather mature themes (not revealing anything at this time), but if you are not in our target demographic, we will NOT try to win you over with Reborn-esque elements. Respecting Reborn is one thing, copying it is another: our product is our product, Reborn is Reborn.
  10. Dear cousin, thank you for reminding me why I hate weddings. Sincerely Tomas

      Besides, the only redeeming quality of weddings, the girls in fancy clothes that are all excited by the love in the air, were unavailable at this time, on the account of everyone being related to me one way or the other...

      Try an Indian wedding. You'll die of heat exhaustion before it's all over.

      I love weddings! Drinks all around!!!

  11. To show that he is different from all those people who have fancy wedding lunches, my cousin is going to have a fancy wedding DINNER instead.

      What about a fancy wedding breakfast?

    3. Odybld

      Odybld

      Well, the norm here is late night dinner and party with lots of dancing. Don't complain :P

    4. Cyaloom

      Considering how long a fancy wedding lunch can be, the celebrations could continue for the entire night!

      Dinner? Lunch? You get food equal to lunch and dinner combined!

  12. Never has this franchise been this close to jumping the shark. And the whole Gundam Zygarde business (nobody commenting on how the shoulder plates have the colors of Xerneas and Yveltal?) might very well be the jump.
  13. I have absolutely no idea of what is going on o.O

      I am getting the distinct impression that they don't know what to come up with anymore. Never has this franchise been this close to jumping the shark (and the whole Zygarde business might very well be the jump).

      Oh and yeah Mael, I shall take your suggestion to heart.

      Like, they could've made something really cool with that Robot instead of being a ZYgarde form(Such as a Golurk evo)but da hell man..

  14. Honestly? I have no idea. Calvius did everything on his own, so praise him. Also, someone guessed the full set, but I won't be telling who did
  15. Won't be around the whole weekend due to a cousin getting married. I'll try my best to show some activity, but... Yeah, this is going to be tough. Much apologies to everyone.

  16. Won't be around the whole weekend due to a cousin getting married. See you

  17. Won't be around the whole weekend due to a cousin getting married. See you

  18. I would like to point out that I said "nobody guessed THE FULL SET". Which means, nobody managed to get 3 correct guesses. This may or may not mean that somebody did guess one single cry right.
  19. Something I just noticed for the first time (yes really): in the entirety of the first Ar Tonelico, nobody EVER refers to Shurelia as "Shurelia", not even once. They ALWAYS refer to her as "Shurelia-sama", even when talking about her in her absence, the "-sama" is always there...

  20. Good to see logic at work... But none of you guys has guessed the full set so far. Keep trying!
  21. I have reached a part of Ar Tonelico where every single scene is crucial for the plot, so I'll stop posting screens to avoid spoilers. I wonder if I managed to create some interest around this game?

      Who knows... Maybe yes, but then... On the other hand, why not, although... But then again

      Emulators are the way to go, Red. PM me for details.

  22. http://i.imgur.com/TRBiJth.jpg Geez, these mind guardians surely like to reveal a lot of details...

      you suck at innuendo, btw.

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      This wasn't even meant to be an innuendo... Besides, these are just screens from a game I am playing, it's not like I wrote these dialogues <.<

  23. "Lyner, why don't you go look for this artifact that was never mentioned before in the story, in a ruin full of deadly traps and mighty enemies, WITHOUT A REYVATEIL?". Sure, that doesn't sound suspicious at all.

      Tomas. Are you sure the box that game came in didn't say R18? It sounds like you're playing one of those games. XD
