Settled: my secondary project (not your typical pokemon rpg)

[Red Giant]

I really like the idea behind the Forlorn Soul. Do that one!

I'm wondering, would the interaction between worlds be purely a story device or will it affect gameplay a la Chrono Trigger or the Zelda: Ocarina/Oracle games, in which you had to switch between worlds to solve puzzles and the like? Either way it sounds interesting.

@RedGiant: Quite a bit of influence. If one party can't get through a door in a dungeon, and the other party visits the "other version" of that dungeon and does such-and-such, the first party can return for stuff like extra treasure and the like. There'll also be primary area applications, too.

@lucas: Sorry, since the charas that appear in it are already ingrained into the EX plotline "as" pokemon, i couldnt change it. The charas will already play a significant part in EX's pokemon world. If i changed it, i'd essentially have to remove the pokemon section, since i didn't really have a contingency plot for that one. I'm seriously considering against the pokemon one, though. I think i could use those points for originality. If it's any consolation, the main charas of Forlorn's fantasy can assume a "spirit" form, which i hope to utilize a BoFIII dragon gene system for (combine Fire and Wind elements, assume a Djinn spirit form, etc.)

In that case, do it. Seriously. If you don't do it I'll just steal it so your hands are tied.
