Title: Original Mode
Description: i hear about a Update Mode, then...


LegacyCrono - April 21, 2004 05:31 PM (GMT)
Hello, guys!
Well, I hear about a Update Mode.Then I have lots of ideas who can be put on the Update Mode (Or Original Mode):

>---Map Actions
Hunn...Yeah, Map Actions.I was thinking on something like Jump to Frog, Crash to Robo and Search to Lucca...It's a good idea, and i think it will opens new places to look, like...Hunn...New places.

>---Super-Customizable Battle Mode
A new battle mode, where you have lots of attacks, like Vertical Attack, Horizontal Attack, Kick, Punck, etc...And a new Double/Triple tech Mode!To explain these new Combination techs mode, I will show a explain:
>>>>Confuse(CRONO)+Ice(MARLE)=Ice Sword2
and
>>>>Burning Elemental Lv.3(LUCCA)+Cold Elemental Lv.3(MARLE)=Antipoda3
Of course, to obtain some of these Combination techs you must is on a certain Level...These "Elementals" are special techs only to use with Combinations.

>---Determinate Localization with Epoch
That's not a super-interessing thing, but very usefull.You can choose when you're on the Epoch where you want to go.
Ex:
>>>>Crono House
>>>>Church
then, you go automatically to the place.

>---COMING SOON...

I think you should just call it the modified version. The "original mode" is the actual original (hence the name). I do like the idea of map actions... but perhaps you should describe a bit more on how it should be used.

If you've seen the "New Techs" post; then your idea for "Super-Customizable Battle Mode" is pretty much just that. Yes, there will likely be some nice new techs in the updated version.

I like the idea of being able to find "Where to go next" with the Epoch... but there just are some parts of the game that you shouldn't be told where to go (sidequests). I guess the Epoch could automatically bring you somewhere... if you've been there already; however. ;)

Knives - April 21, 2004 10:43 PM (GMT)
Yeah we will definitely be including new techs and possibly some new features in the battle system, but remember, you will be able to turn new stuff off.

About the Epoch thing...that won't be necessary since the world of CT is so friggin tiny anyways.

Knives101 - April 21, 2004 10:50 PM (GMT)
:huh: Are you guys adding the ability to view perspectives, like a first person view to walk around in... cause that might ruin some of the hidden items and areas. :P

LegacyCrono - April 24, 2004 10:36 PM (GMT)
Specific, huh...?


The Action Moves can be thing we can do in the map to access new places.All things you can think (Things!Think!Uhh...Uh, well...) you can use.Or necessary the thing we will think and put on the game (Hee, heh!Think!Thing!Oh, ohh...Okay, I stop...).It can be usefull in something like the time Frog cuts a HUGE mountain!Then, we can put we must do the action "Cut".The Frog "cut" (It's not cut, it's obliterate!!) the mountain.We can use actions to climb, to jump (Example, in a river, we must use "Jump" to pass), to destroy, to smash, to kill, to fly, to search, to...You understand, right?

Okay, the Super-Customizable Battle Mode I will try show in an Battle example...
CRONO LUCCA
________
|CRONO |
\_______/
..Action-{Use Weapon-{Horizontal
.............|Punch...........|Vertical
.............|Kick..............\Frontal
.............|Block
.............|Jump
..............\Dash Strike

..Spell-{Cyclone-{Use
............\Slash---{Combine

..Combination-{Bolt Element Lv.1


Let's select Cyclone and Combine.It will put Crono in waiting mode.The next move will be combined with the Cyclone.

________
|LUCCA |
\_______/

..Action-{Use Weapon-{Shot
.............|Punch...........|Strike
.............|Kick..............\Reload
.............|Block
.............|Jump
..............\Dash Strike

..Spell-{Fire Line-{Use
..........................\Combine

..Combination-{Fire Element Lv.1

Selecting Fire Line (Huhh...I think it's not "Fire Line", but I don't remember the name...!) and Combine we will execute Flame Cyclone.


"About the Epoch thing...that won't be necessary since the world of CT is so friggin tiny anyways." -Knives
Hey, hey, hey, hey!!!It's the Original Mode (or Updated Mode, or Modified Version)!!!!The map (of course) will be bigger, the dungeons will be bigger, the fun will be bigger and the difficult will be bigger!Of course, new maps is included, but i can't put "will be bigger" at the finish of it...He, heh...

I like of the Knives101 idea.A 1st person camera can be nice, IF it don't used on the entire game.We can select if common camera or 1st person, right?

Thats A very good idea, but 1 bad thing.
Its to hard to master.

If some kid decides to play, he will get bored with it.
And not to mention if this game is ever reviewed, they will give it A bad review, sometimes just because of the battle system.

So, I say no to that idea.
But it is very original

Apocalypse - April 26, 2004 01:11 AM (GMT)
...A battle mode in which you choose exactly how the attack is done (IE: Choose the direction of the cut on the enemy)? Simply put... that seems WAY too complicated, and would likely not be a very... enjoyable battle mode. Think about it; do you really want to spend extra time trying to decide on what direction you want to slice the enemy in? It's a bit unnecessary; though like SSJoseph said, it is very orignal. :blink:

Alezunde - April 26, 2004 08:17 PM (GMT)
I really like the idea of map actions.
I wouldn't get carried away or anything - maybe just add jump, and a few minor special abilities.
But it'd be kind of neat to be able to jump onto a ledge on the map or something and find a secret area.

-Alezunde

Knives - April 27, 2004 12:17 AM (GMT)
Yes the map actions idea is awesome. It could be used in subtle ways. Perhaps we could add in some segments where some slight jumping is needed, a la FFX-2?

LegacyCrono - May 2, 2004 10:51 PM (GMT)
Hummm...
<_<


:unsure:


:) Yes, but you give the command.You can jump anywhere!Maybe...?
Well, anyway, I make a list.A list with all Map Action.Three types to the seven characters:
|--CHARACTER--|-------------MAGICAL

Crono................Electric Charge
Lucca.................Burn Charge
Marle.................Cold Charge
Frog...................Bubble Charge
Robo..................Cyber Charge
Ayla...................Power Charge
Magus................Shadow Charge


|--CHARACTER--|-------------PHYSICAL

Crono................Push/Pull <Lv. 3>
Lucca.................Search (Dig) <Lv. 16>
Marle.................Dive <Lv. 20>
Frog...................Jump <Lv. 9>
Robo..................Smash <Lv. 22>
Ayla...................Catch/Throw <Lv. 42>
Magus................Attack <Lv. 71>


|--CHARACTER--|-------------ETC...

Crono................Time Capsule <Lv. 40>
Lucca.................Indentify <Lv. 31>
Marle.................Help <Lv. 25>
Frog...................Talk With Animals <Lv. 63>
Robo..................Light <Lv. 15>
Ayla...................Superrun <Lv. 55>
Magus................Fly <Lv. *>


>>>NOTES:
-MAGICAL actions is used to activate a machine (Electric), burn a tree (Burn), freeze a river (Cold), Stop a fire (Bubble), control a machine (Cyber), create a earthquake (Power) or to use psycho forces (Shadow).

-PHYSICAL actions can be used to move objects (Push/Pull), search by a treasure (Search), cross a river (Dive), pass over a rock or a hole (Jump), destroy a wall (Smash), throw a object over a river or a hole (Catch/Throw) or attack innocent or not-too-much-innocent people (Attack).

-ETC... actions is used to special things, like:
[TIME CAPSULE]> Must use a item called "Time Capsule".When an item must be used on other era, and it cannot pass by the time gate, use it to send it to another era.
[IDENTIFY]> Identify a unknown item.
[HELP]> When you use it, Marle give a hint to what do.
[TALK WITH ANIMALS]> <_< I must say?
[LIGHT]> Illuminate a dark room. <-<-{AUTO}->->
[SUPERRUN]> Speed up your run. <-<-{AUTO}->->
[FLY]> " <_< I must say?" (Again)

>>>OBS:
1st==="<-<-{AUTO}->->" is a action who is aoutomatically activated.
2nd==="MAGICAL actions" can be used after speak with the Speckio on the End of Time.
3rd==="<Lv. #>" is the level when the character learn how use the action.

It still seems un-nessacary.
But, I guess thats just me...and apoch.......and Al

:lol:

(No offence intentioned, if you are offended then please forive me)

LegacyCrono - May 8, 2004 05:54 PM (GMT)
If you think it's un-necessary, just don't play the Original Mode (Or the name you think we can use...)...

GalaxyFalcon - May 8, 2004 11:33 PM (GMT)
The origional mode is just fine.

WolfPack - May 9, 2004 12:08 AM (GMT)
No offense, but, i think the remake will be fine too - without lc's system.

Knives101 - May 9, 2004 08:17 AM (GMT)
:huh: Yep, Lc it just sounds like to much.

Anywho I posted this earlier but no one answered, I'd like to know if there'll be a first person view, or the ablility to change views. If there is it might ruin the hidden items and rooms and things like that.

WolfPack - May 10, 2004 01:06 AM (GMT)
I think 1st person would ruin it. That would suck if that was an option.

GalaxyFalcon - May 15, 2004 02:38 AM (GMT)
A first person Mulitplayer option would be cool. but a first person in-game view would ruin the game, i agree. one thing i was thinking of is if you guys make a Mulitplayer arena mode, you shouldnt use main charecters. It should be like Guardia Knights or Mystics or somthing. If you did it with main charecters we would have magus fans running around spending 12 hours a day in the game slashing less...patriotic fans into peices and then telling them the black wind howls or quoting some other magus lyric. I just think it would be a bad idea, lol. We'd have clans of Frog vs Magus sprites..lol

WolfPack - May 15, 2004 04:27 AM (GMT)
LOL. i'd be in the frog clan.

Knives101 - May 15, 2004 03:07 PM (GMT)
:huh: Chrono Clan me baby!

But ya I like your knight, mystic & whatever, idea. Course then people be running around say "FOR THE KNIGHTS OF ROHAN" or "HULK SMASH PUNY HUMAN KNIGHTS"..... kay maybe not that last one.

SSJoseph - May 15, 2004 04:46 PM (GMT)
well, thats why I came up with this idea.

How about A little customizable character...like A City of Heroe's type thing.

say we have 100 Heads, 100 bodies, 100 arms, 100 legs, 100 outfits, A few races, A few sex's, and A few unlockable items to add-on to your character.

And the people can choose between anyone of everything (exept unlockable items)
That should be pretty good.

Then there wouldnt be to much Clan pride, and stuff.

A little hard to program, and make...since you would have to design brand new characters, and figure out every texture, every customixable thing, and every other possibility....but it should stop all the trouble.

Knives101 - May 15, 2004 10:11 PM (GMT)
:huh: That'd change the game a little to much... And be way harder to make than just the game itself.

SSJoseph - May 15, 2004 10:57 PM (GMT)
actually..I think there would just be A way to program it in variables..no?
Like, everytexture can auto-apply to each model.
and every arm/leg/head/body/race auto-apply.

Right? I mean in City of heros..I know they didnt program all 1million+ combo of people
