Please not FF... FF fans must die :D
Yikes. Someone is showing their youth.
I have played every FF game I just don't like it.
Subjectivity aside, I think you've somehow missed the brilliance of storytelling, music and design that stem from the minds of Kitase, Sakaguchi, Amano and Uematsu. I'm curious what constitutes talented world-building, character development, story arcs and... well, RPG's, in the southern hemisphere.
every ff game on ps2 or every ff back to NES? Ya know, I grew up on commodore 64, atari, NES, and intellivision.
My first rpg was FF2, followed by Fantasy Star 4 (best game for sega genesis bar-none).
Die-hard FF fan here Zran. :) We all are. :) Just not necessarily X-2 or many of the new titles... ^_-... 12 wasn't bad. I enjoyed it. The upgrade system was better than 10.
-------
Either way, yes, the storytelling aspect of the games is quite... amazing. Few stories are consistently good or engaging when they are as disjointed as FF. I'm happy they're starting to link title stories together (FF Tactics and FF12 for instance. Crystal Chronicles and others.). I hope they make a sequel to FF7 some day, without ruining it. Advent children was a nice movie spin off. Didn't suck like FF spirits within nearly did (I didn't hate it, but it wasn't that great. Only thing i can think of that was rather bleh, aside from X-2. What a waste of time and money that was to develop. I tried to play it, I did. Just for the story of what happened to Tidus... I just couldn't do it though.)
well 'nuff about FF....
post!! :)
maybe we need Geco or Rensha to move things along with the natives...
Signed. We have momentum! Lets keep it going and return to the skies.Quote:

I agree drice. :)
yeah SoHee, I would appreciate Geco posting. I could post, but I don't run the show. Also... Amy (my wife) has almost sole control of the laptop while she writes her third novel (not for a publisher. it's her hobby. and no she doesn't want to join URP. lol. She can't wrap her head around the concept and is not interested in either fantasy or sci-fi, heheh.). So I have INTERMITTENT access... for now... she's 1/4 of the way through. probably will take her just a week or so. :)
although if geco doesn't post in 1 or 2 days from now, i'll post to keep things moving.
@Arctic, um I don't know but to be honest when I played most FF games I wasn't thinking about the story only the playing of the game.
@Ren I posted, there is a bit of dialogue between Arlen and Amateira, hope you don't mind, way I understood it he could speak the native language.
Yep, that's fine. On my anniversary. I'll post sometime.
One Skysail note: I did advance the scene, but didn't necessarily mean to eliminate interaction between the evacuation of the hut and the short journey to the Dawn. Also, the discussion of magicite doesn't necessarily preclude the very idea of a resident deity - basically I didn't mean to step on your toes, Rensha. That being said, I very much enjoyed your post.
actually, it worked rather well. He's an atheist. ;) He's been struggling with the thought something might have been invading his mind, where he's just been drugged with something akin to refined magicite (see: earlier posts, where he communed with T'a'u'weke in hallucination) and just now getting rid of the side effects. (after 3 days)
that's the story I'm sticking to. You did me a service. ;)
-----
On another note. Gave you something to work off of Zran, feel free to do some talking. I just noted where she was silent, she could very well say things between and on the way. Feel free to have Arlen speak back where you need it, within reason.
SoHee - As we agreed. I left it up to you though whether he was there as a watcher or participant, or there at all. Also, I left it up to Zran to see Jasper (or some other whisp) flutter through the wall, or if it were hallucination.
Anyone else - sorry if i messed anything up for you. Not my intention. I want off the island. ;)
----------
Arc - one last note. Thanks for the compliment, I always enjoy yours. Quite nice to sit back and listen to technical details of airship and magicite from flashbacks. My posts have been long enough without flashbacks. I've been trying to limit it to simply thoughts from arlen based on unwritten flashbacks. In this case, he had no choice but to relive a particularly painful experience (still not sure EXACTLY where I want it, and when... but I'm narrowing it down.). He relived all of his experiences, but somewhat quicker than that one, and in less detail. Did you like the magitek soldier there, in his daydream though? :)
Arlen has Weka'u's experiences as well, but he'll still stay Arlen. He's lived his life that he won't exactly forget which memories are his, and which are just information. Most of it will be irrelevant anyway, really. Most of it. Some of it though (hunting and such) would be invaluable. ^_- Actually, I just thought of a really good idea. :) Heheheheh.... Geco, you ready for a cog to be thrown in your machine? :) ^_^ just a slight one. :)
@Ren the way I understood your post was that Arlen Wek'au and Ama were in a circle with Arlen and Wek'au the main people in it. Would it be possible for Ama to grasp a knowledge of common?
I love it all. Good posts everyone I enjoy reading them. I will work on my post tonight but dont expect it till late and from the ideas circulating in my brain it will probably be lengthy. I want to continue to explore Drice and Cailey's backstory while also try to get them a little more interaction with the crew as a whole.
Cogs usually help make machines run better ^_^
Now if you had a wrench in mind... =P
Zran - Arlen and Weka'u were sitting across from each other and ama was standing beside them with her hands on them, so I guess sort of a circle, yeah.
Weka'u could very well have given her the gift of common tongue, yes. I'll leave that up to you. ;)
Drice - I can't wait, I expect it to be good as always. ;)
Hmm alright I wanted to do a little more in the village so I will have Ama say quick good byes to her friends aka the priesthood. And I wanted her to have a bow too but the other one kinda got cooked so another gift from Weka'u. I've got a good post cooking up. ^-^ *turns on frying pan*
Edit: I hope that suffices to keep the story up.
I saw some of you online! Post! Skysail will live, damnit!
first of all its damn it or dammit... get it right dammit!
;)
i've been on interviews and finally got one to keep me! also the cell towers have not been working in nz. we'll see how long it takes to fix them.
Well I was waiting for a few more to post but I will start working on my next post. I maybe hit or miss next week because I am going on vacation Sunday.
I rarely reread short posts for spelling and grammar. I'll encourage you to comb my IC posts, however.
Don't pay me any mind about pressure to post - I'm just whining.
that's okay. I'm impatient too. I guess the towers are in better condition again.
Yeah so I got a job at Rydges in Queenstown. I encourage you to look up their website (look for the location on www.rydges.com - lakeland queenstown should be the location). Take a look at what other locations they have. ;)
I'm happy, they're willing to train me in an entirely new career path. My wife has a lot of experience in fine dining so she was good. sort of surprised they're willing to give me a chance like they are. Anyway, we're nice and good and set. :) Yay!
So my posts might be less than immediate from here on out, but not too far off from it. :)
still stuck on that spot in my second book. Unfortunately it's the beginning pages. That's never happened to me before. :\ It sucks when the whole book is done, but I can't figure out how to write the beginning.
Finally... I'll post when i get the chance.
I'm packing my apartment up today and tomorrow to move 3 hours away. Going to start working immediately (sunday). Problem is, we have no idea about accommodation until we hear back from realestate agents and possibly about staff-housing at the hotel. Well, i've been living in hotels and hostels for 4 months... Might as well actually take up residence in one, eh?
Rydges is a good hotel... what are you training for?
I believe we need to get this ship off the ground, everyone is on ship. Artic since your character is the pilot why don't you do that? Just a suggestion since I know Geco wanted to take a bit of a back seat for a bit.
amy's got extensive food and beverage, so she doesn't need training really... Myself, I have none. I'll be learning Restaraunt, Bar, and Banquet aspects of the f&b industry. Pretty much the trifecta of the business, so I should be able to get a job in the industry fairly easy when I get back. Especially it being RYDGES... :)
Geco- If you're around, let us know what you want to do. do you want us to fly up and you'll do a little post to keep Gabriel along but a little ... behind? I still have my cog for you, if you want. :)
by the way arc, i see you on. :) I'm packing my apartment, just taking a little break. :)
You've missed a C in Arctic.
We'll get moving soon. It isn't my thread, and I'd like to see some more people touch base before forging ahead.
Sorry my comp went insane and my post got lost. Will work on it again tonight I promise
every time you make a post, before you hit post reply, select all your text, copy it, and put it somewhere like notepad. That way you at least have it in case it does that. I've lost far too many posts myself to take it lightly anymore. *Misses old URP where you could hit 'back' and it would be there waiting for you.*
I would suggest just writing the post elsewhere. I use gmail & Google Docs. Each autosave practically after ever sentence to an external server. Not even a chance you'll lose a post.
So since Skysail isn't moving and at least 3-4 of us seem to have a bit of spare time on our hands anyone interested in starting a second RP just for fun?
Have to say thank you Arch, your post was so much more elegant than mine. I just needed to get something down.
For all, we'll be jumping right to Gebron, our original destination, and I have a final plot item to do, however, rather than playing it all out, I'll probably timeskip us to the end of it, and just showcase the consequences. Therefore, I'm giving everyone some time to essentially do whatever until I put the finishing touches on this arc, and then I'm taking a break and getting out of the driver seat. Will definitely still be here, and will still moderate, but our next major plot arc will have to come from someone else.
If you'd like to be the next driver, I suggest mentioning so here so we don't have any confusion or multiple disparate plot lines to contend with.
Thanks, Geco!
I have a good story arc to continue with that should be pretty natural, so I wouldn't mind heading that up for a bit. We can get a Google Wave going to discuss further if you'd like.
Ya that works for me.
...just don't forget that someone is supposed to be approached by Guiliani (my bird) and she will either be given or she will take a scrap of cloth...or a scarf...of something. ^_^
I am going on vacation this week not sure how often I will post but feel free to drag Drice and cailey along if need be.
Mireldeyn if need be you can always take Drice's Kamir
Sorry for my absence, everyone. And I'm also apologizing on Bel's behalf. After his baby was born, his home computer fried and it's been on the backburner for expenses. He tells me he will try and find time at work to post, but if nothing else he'll send posts through me.
As for me, I bought Mass Effect 2 and have been inseperable from it for the last week. It's not suprisign BioWare manages to outdo themselves. They actually improved things the players of the first game complained about. But enough about that, I'll get caught up on reading and make a post tonight.
P.S. It's a girl.
Congrats to you, bel, have fun.
@Shari I was wondering when you would pop up Mass Effect 2 is good no wonder you got so involved in it. I myself don't have it but my friend does and he has been scarce since then.
It's addicting to say the least, but sadly shorter than the first -_-
taking the kamir would be good. it would behoove drice to get it back.
bel - congrats! ;) future writer ^_^ (unless technology kills the english language with txt talk)
shari - i'm jealous. I am really jonesing for video games. lol
