Ok,my new Rpg based on Star Ocean 3 isin prduction and after reading a topic about what people want out of a RPG,I have decided to have a lot of dialogue between the characters.Also I plan on making it Turn Based however I haven't even starting on the fighting part.......So what do you guys think about the game so far from this post?

a lot of dialouge.... u better watch your string limit

The average Battle.net player doesn't like long lulls in the action. Try and keep the talking to a minimum or make it REALLY well formatted and gramatically correct. Adding actions like having the talking unit walk around help decrease the boredom.

there is absolutly no information on this map...
Please post ScreemShots, Story, Characters, Point Of Game, Statistics like
you see in ALL other threads

Story:
Note:Some points of this story may not be 100% accurate to the actual Star Ocean 3 game.This map is based on Star Ocean 3 but much of it may or may not be true.And some dunguens from StarOcean 3 will be skipped due to lack of room.

Prior the the events of the actual map:Fayt,Sophia and Fayts Mother and Father are on vacation in a space station Called Hyda.Suddenly,a group called the Vendeen.Fayt , Sophia,Fayts mother and Father flee to escape pods to get out of Hyda.Along the way enemy soldiers begin gaining on them and thus Fayts mom+dad tell Fayt and Sophia to run to the pods.Fayt then escapes but leaves not knowing what will become of his mom and dad.Fayts pod crashes on Vanguard III,a planet classified as "underdeveloped".THe have the Civilization level of 16th century Earth.Once on the planet some stuff happensand eventually Fayt is at a standoff between a crazy guy with a gun.Cliff comes andbeats the guy up and rescues Fayt.This is where the story begins.

Fayt,Cliff,and a girl named Mirage are travelling to iQuarks boss in the Eagle, A Klausion Ship.Then a engine thruster gets knocked out and they crash on a .Quark being a Anti-Federation group.Soon, one of the engine thrusters explodes and the ship goes down on a Planet called Eilcoor II.They land in a city called Ariglyph and Cliff and Fayt come out.They go to jail.Ariglyph thinking its a new Aquarias weapon.Nel comes and rescues them and bring em back to Aquaria.Some stuff happens and then the war ends because the Vendeeni ships came to attack in the middle of war.Fayts gene of destruction kills ships they find out their world is jsuit a video game to another world.They travel to other world,kill some creator.Get set free and live hapily ever after.i feel lazy



Characters:
Fayt-Swordsman.Blue haired boy who really cares about other people.(example.At one point in the actual Star Ocean 3 game,he meets a girl who looks just like Sophia and she falls ill.Thus,he helps her by getting her pen pal to see her who she never saw for a very long time.)He is a Dark Templer and I am expecting to give him some really flashy attacks.=)He is from the planet Earth and is a college boy and he realy enjoys playing Videogames.Fayt has the Destruction(?) Gene which allows him to cause massive damage such as destroying a large warship.However,he cannot control his powers yet

Nel-Red haired girl from the Kingdom of Aquaria who was sent to Ariglyphs jail to rescue Fayt and Cliff because they needed their technology to win thewar against Ariglyph.(Ariglyph has a Dragon Brigade).She can cast spells and she can also

Features:Expected to be TBC however subject to change
finally a RPG with a story.There will be characters and there will be dialogue.AND THERE WIL BE A STORY!.(it isbased on a real rpg btw)
unique spells and abilities for each character.each player will get 2 characters to use.





Questions:Should all the players be in one group like in real Rpgs on consoles?o should they travel solo.What i mean is shld all the people playiong just fight and then one person moves them?I cant explain stuff very well D=<

And also I was wondering if anyone would like to help me spellcheck and checkgrammer that kind of stuff as my map will be containing much diaglogue....If I somehow figure how the combat will be.........

First of all GREAT IDEA SO:TTEOT Freakin rox man. However if your going to do this right DONT HAVE IT TBC have it like the game just move them to different arenas depending on terrain (like my rpg which i will have a thread on soon) Dialogue isnt much needed and for the guy who said there isnt a story and what not it dont need a story STAROCEAN3 is a ps2 game anyone whos played it nos whati ts about and who ever hasnt may get into it like this. However i suggest having it on 3 different maps are so due to the kingdom of airyglyph which is snow and some is desert and some is jungle and some could qaulify for space try to spread it out abit. Also make the game long a true rpger wouldnt host a 3-7-10-20 hour long rpg in pub they would do it with freinds man do what you need to man id just say screw the people if they'd shut up long enough they would get something probally 6 out of 10 times better then what they wanted but i agree WATCH YOUR STRINGS!

Mayb real time combat would be better as the game is real time.And turnbased has very pissed me off because there are so many posibilities with which player the comp would attk.I haven't really touched So3 map for a while because I haven't had time and the turnbased ombat realy takes up a lot of location =S.I guess another real time combat game wouldn't really be all that bad.Look at the FF7world part a game thats real time andit's good.OK I will make it real time with different arenas for each area...hows that sound?

ADDITION:
I have a newbie question.What are strings.I could never figure out what they are

i already made star ocean 3

First of all STAR OCEAN[Till the End of Time] should not be a map someone attempts on starcraft. It has too many aspects and terrain types, as well as amazing cutscenes. No offense but this is for a more experienced map maker, you making this is like some random person trying to make a Final Fantasy tactics map, it's not the smartest idea, you will overwhelm yourself.

But if you decide to do it anyway...
1)Plan out the way you will do all your triggers in correspondence to starcraft and storyline of the game(should've been done before you posted).
2)Decide how many players you will have playing the game, i would suggest 4-5 but of course it's your choice.
3)Don't do some sort of full TBC system, iono what you're trying to do talking about a lot of triggers but just stick with the basic TBC style known as FF3 system.
4)Have terrain that corresponds with the map, i do agree that it will take more then 1 map to do an entire star ocean 3 map, but don't change maps just for the terrain... that's a waste of damn maps, you'd need over 8 maps with tons of triggs-not a good idea.
5)Spells and Skills, how do you plan to do em? I hope you have a good layout for a spell system, or skill system.
As well as a way for GUARD major attack, minor attack, and movement in battle.
6)All that being said, make the cutscenes extremely dramatic and action thrilled.

Goodluck with your map, keep in mind what i typed is just suggestion through what I as a player would like to see.

Ok I will make it like FF3 and that kinda thing.However,Making it multiple maps would be kinda strange if they all have different terrains...I think I should only make it multiple maps IF I hit the string limit.And also TBC took up ALOT of locations when I did it...Possibly because I didn't bother to use Switches.

well i hope yours is better then mine i screwed it up from the start. GL
