Wuzzup, my brutha?  Ok, since you're the RPGMaker guy, I guess I'll talk to you......

I've been hearing a bunch of release dates for RPGMaker for the US, but now I'm confused...... when exactly is it coming out?  And how broad are your choices for creating an RPG?  Can you make the battles any type of format you wish, or is it closely related to other games?  I actually don't really know what to ask, but I'm kind of curious about it.  Because, I have Blades of Exile (don't know if you've heard of it...... have you?).  If you haven't heard of it, it's a PC RPG.  I don't really feel like explainin' it, but the point is, you could create your own scenario with its Scenario Editor, but it's only limited to the graphics, weapons, monsters, etc. that are in the game itself.  Well, you could create your own graphics with Paintbrush, cuz they're all .bmp files.  Anyway, I just want to know something about the editing..... tell me as much as you want.  In fact, you don't have to tell me anything about it, cuz you think I'm annoying................... NO!  I'm sorry!  I didn't mean to say that!  Anyway, thanks.....

Yay! RPG Maker questions!  The game was shipped to stores last Monday (September 18th), although some stores didn't have it in stock until the 19th.  The types of RPGs you can create range from FFIV-type to FFV-type.  All battles are like a cross between the original Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. You can't change the format.  My cousin has a copy of BoE, but I've never seen it.

Now that we've seen our mitachondrian warrior in the nude and everyone has at least heard about our tomb raider bearing it all, is it in our future where video game characters will be on the cover of Playboy, Penthouse, etc?  Can you imagine "Toadstool talks about lusting after fat guys" or "Megaman's female sidekick shows us her favorite weapons"?  Oh the madness of it all!

Our older siblings' video games exist no longer!

You know...it's ideas like this that make me want to flee this planet ;>
Seriously, for some reason, I don't think it's that far off... (runs to a bomb shelter

Scar,

1.  Just who are you anyway?
2.  Rpg maker?  Its out?  When did this happen?
3.  How is it?
4.  Any programming experience needed?
5.  How do you pronounce your name?
6.  In FF6, what time do I need to set the clock to to get the chainsaw?
7.  Wanna fight about it? C'mon.  3 oclock by the swings.  Be there or I'll tell everyone you're chicken.

1) I am me.  Anyway, I'm Rob Parton. I do that thar Editorials section. I come from a little town in Ontario, Canada, called Parry Sound.  Hockey great Bobby Orr was born there.  Actually, our family knows his family. Small towns rock that way ;>
2) Read above ;>  September 18th (a week ago).  It wasn't hyped up much....
3) Watch RPGamer for a review very soon by Yours Truly ;>
4) Not really.  Just write everything on paper before hand.
5) The right way to pronounce it is "Scar - Migg - Lee - On".
6) Good ol' Clock.  The time is 6:10:50.  I still think it should have been random though....
7) You're on buddy. Oh, and at my school, it's 3:30pm at the bus loop behind the school. Get it right, eh? ;)

Scarmiglion:
Eh. I like Working Designs. Vanguard Bandits is pretty darn funny. And yes, Vagrant Story's localization rocked.

1) I'm not sure exactly, but since the Porre army is around, I would figure it's southwest of Porre. That's my thought.
2) Everybody seems to agree, anywhere from about 8 hours to about 15.

Paws stories?  Well, since we're both Canadian, I'm afraid my stories are classified information.  But next week, I'm going back home to see her. Can't wait!!!!

Scarmiglion:
1) Yes. I hate when that happens.  PE2 is like that, and even Saga Frontier 2 is...oh wait...both sucked. *uses his Vivi plushie to cast Fira on both* <|8)
2) I really enjoyed LoD.  Sure, some of the bosses are a pain. Sure, a few dungeons aren't great.  But I had a ton of fun with it. : )
3) Rhapsody? Never played it. Never seen it in person either. I just can't afford to buy all  the games ;)
4) Well, in a sense, all games can be considered RPGs. Sometimes you just have to draw a line somewhere : )

Wouldn't you think that there would be *someone,* a playtester, a programmer, or *someone,* who could have said "You know, I'm only the tiniest, lowest-ranking, pond-scum employee here at Square, but I've noticed that Aya  has roughly the same chance of going the direction I want her to go as of coming to life, stepping out of the TV screen, and helping me score with my girlfriend!"

I mean, it amazes me. I thought the days of unfathomably-terrible play control went out with the old NES.

Scarmiglion:
I completely agree. PE2's controls really bite. Oh well. I've got about 10 more RPGs in my pile to beat first ;)

is it just me, or is the booklet for rpg maker next to worthless?

Okay... Valkyrie can fly, right? Then why does she have to jump in dungeons?

Fine, I'll admit it.  I shot the deputy.  Happy?

all I wanna do is zamma zoomzoomzoom shake ya boomboom
