Dragon Fantasy REMADE

[Ephiam]

"

Eons ago, the world and all of its splendours were created by the magnificent and all-powerful being simply known as the "Creator." It wove the threads of life, and upon creating the planet of Tsufanubra, spotted it with its most cherished life-form: man.

Having gifted mankind with all of its blessing and necessities, the Creator simply watched as man forged his own path in life, and over the decades crafted himself in to a race of truly wondrous individuals numbering in the millions.

The Creator, however, grew tired of this creation, and thus gave life to three heavenly Kings to watch over and monitor the world in his stead. Overseeing their lord's creation from on-high, the Three Kings of Tsufanubra guided their people into an age of peace and prosperity for countless years to follow...

Then that fated day came—the day wherein a great darkness spilled from the opposite world of Arbunafust, and threatened to dominate Tsufanubra and all who lived upon it. The efforts of this otherworldly force, however, were thwarted by the Three Kings. They gifted mankind with four divine relics, then simply waited for man to take back what had been stolen from them.

With the aid of their overseers, man was able to forcibly remove the invading force, and cast it back to whence it came.

Their purpose completed, the relics bore themselves into the earth, forever shedding their light in silence so that mankind could attain eternal peace.

Thanks, Mr. Fisherson!

The demo's been updated, for those of you that are interested. The previous version had been floating around for quite a while and was in need of touch-ups and some major adjustments. Here's the blog that I posted prior to uploading the latest version:




-All of the game's weapons have been re-balanced and their stats adjusted.

-Instead of utilizing their own damage modifiers, each weapon type now shares the same "PHYSICAL" attribute.

-Each weapon type is now, by default, effective against a particular enemy type:
SWORDS deal bonus damage to (Animals)
DAGGERS deal bonus damage to (Humanoids)
SCYTHES deal bonus damage to (Plants)
AXES deal bonus damage to (Armored)
BOOKS deal bonus damage to (Magical)

-Scythes now reduce the wielder's AGILITY, whereas in the previous version of the game they had no real drawbacks aside from their modifier. Because of this, like Daggers and Axes, they needed to be adjusted so that they wouldn't be so overpowered. Also, as a secondary (and not so important) HIDDEN bonus, there's a small chance that when attacking with a scythe, the player can knock down an enemy, causing them to miss a turn and potentially lowering their defenses.

-Daggers reduce DEFENSE, but increase a character's AGILITY.

-Axes reduce INTELLIGENCE, but are extraordinarily powerful weapons. Every axe also decreases the wielder's AGILITY by 5, but none go beyond that. They also have slightly reduced accuracy as opposed to Swords, which boast the highest and are the most consistent in the game.

-Books no longer give any bonuses to a character's ATTACK. Instead, they've been modified to grant a further increase to INTELLIGENCE. Like Scythes, they've also got a hidden factor that comes into play in battles as the BookXtra. Some enemies, usually magical, will take even MORE damage from Books than normal. Also, every Book has a chance to inflict a status ailment on an enemy when used to attack a foe in battle.

-Lifa starts with the FREEZE, SHOCK, TOXIN, and SEAL spells instead of FLARE, SHOCK, and FREEZE.

-Most of the enemies have been re-balanced to make the game slightly more challenging than before. Their types and weaknesses have also been adjusted.

-Added more NPCs and a few additional key story scenes to the game.
