As for that Volcano place you saw, there's more to than just cooling the lava.  When you get deep enough after the dungeon introduces you how to navigate it, due to the heat, you'll have a time limit to complete it.  Time limit can be increased via Cooling Statues which will reset the time to let's say 25 min.  But in order to use these statues, you need Water Cores which can be found within the dungeon.  This is a close to the end of the game dungeon so things get a lil nuts haha. 

And when you cool the lava, that also has a certain time limit (monster encounters disabled).  Failure to reach the safety point will result in simulated damage bring everyone's health and EP to 1.  You cannot exit the dungeon until it's completion.  Also EXP is not available due to the fact that there are 4 dungeons that you can do in any order.

Well, I am an avid supporter of not using the DBS, so yeah... no opinion on the change in skill development. Personally, such things as upgrading skills based on the number of times they are used and etc is much easier to do in a CBS.

[daoman89]

I tried to see how I would do the skill leveling, but I couldn't find a way so I might just do it this way.

Purchase skills at a shop.  Available only to help moving on easier, but if not purchased, it is still possible to move on.  Also with them being sale items, the glitch of getting powerful skills too early or maybe even late will negate. 

So I'll make it so that it's possible to purchase the necessary skills you will most likely NEED along with others if you have spare cash.  Example.  You really only need Freeze II skills, but since you have extra money, why not get Burn II or Shock II?  OR I could make some skills reward items for things you do around a town or something.  Lots you can do haha

That's ok, but I like Lucas' thinking ths time around. Make it so that it's not just the same spell but stronger. Make it so the spell becomes something that makes sense as being stronger. Ignite becomes Fireball, Fireball becomes Wall of Flames, etc.

[daoman89]

Burn, Flash Burn, Severe Burn

Frost, Frost Bite, Frost Storm

Shock, Shock Wave, Tetra Shock

  They have the previous name still in it

[Archem]

Works for me.

To be honest, I think that naming scheme sounds pretty good. You don't have to completely avoid repeating prefixes/suffixes/terms. 

[Meiscool]

Friegamin (low fire)
Friegamid (mid fire)
Friegamax (high fire)
Wyfriegamax (wide area of effect high fire)

I like those kinda names for spells in games In fact, I like my example so much I might use it in my own stuff.

[Archem]

That's pretty good, too.

At first I thought you simply spelled fire wrong. But then the pattern continued.
Min mid max are kinda catchy suffixes though. Sure beats the FF/KH version of adding an A and then AGA at the end. And in later games AJA.

I remember playing PSO for the first time and getting in contact with their Force names. Foie(fire), barta(ice), zonde(thunder), And then the prefixes Gi and Ra for the higher spells. But that game had some interesting naming like with the potions called Monofluids, Diofluids and trifluids.

Only problem with skill names is that they can sound kinda corny. But it's an rpg so things are kinda supposed to sound corny. But then again, I'm not sure english speakers find stuff like that corny. All I know is that any game translated to swedish sounds so silly that you can't take the skills and items seriously.

You should go up to IV.

Burn I, Burn II, Burn III, Burn Mo' IV

There is a level 4, but it's from Eidolon's most powerful skills.  The way you get them is the mage has to do a solo fight against that element.  Item use is forbidden, so potions and ethers cannot be used.  However, with the right equipment, you can always have Auto-Regen.

ANYWAYS, we have more important flaws to discuss!!  Dialogue.  Here's what somebody's gonna do...  Pick one of those scenes and quote them and then describe why you don't like it or how it's unnatural.

FYI, do not bring up the promise part becuz that was already discussed.  Also, the full conversations are not there and were cut out partway through the video.  Commence criticism!!

[Meiscool]

I dunno, I wouldn't put those kinds of situations in my games where idle banter is used, so I can't really help.

Maybe I'll attempt later.
