I had posted this idea in the NationStates thread, but I didn't get a lot of feedback. I was thinking more people would probably see it if I posted it here. This story will follow a group of teens through random nations in NationStates. There will be a lot of different aspects to the story. Every nation that participates can decide whether or not they want there nation to be explored. This will be an all-fantasy rpg. Please get back to me if you like the idea.

My puppet Mitzel is engaged in a Final Fantasy/other VG RP in RomeW's Manium thread.

Bjornoya's Amgen Co. currently has genetically engineered Chocobo's for 'RL' RPs. I'd like to see what more you had in mind, but feel free to drop by Bjornoya's capital, Esthar...

FFVII-X-2, and played IX twice, every time over 100 hours, that's over 600 friggin' hours of FF play time.

While I'm kinda busy fighting off the evils of the Kraven Corp and his allies, I'd love for Fourhearts to be a stopping place. Fourheart's airships get their inspiration from the Final Fantasy Airships. Just let me know what you need as far as location and I'll provide it.

Wouldn't mind people strollin' through my quiet little place. It's a nice, calm little country, with friendly people and good places to rest. Just be aware of the werefoxes that come out at night occasionally; they generally won't attack unless provoked.

I would be interested in this roleplay as well. I have some character ideas from past games that never got time to be played out. Yet I have to ask what is the overall setting? You mention fantasy of course but that can be both FFII and FFVIII in content. The difference is the blending with technology.

FFXI has the most in content and information and spells. More suited to MMORPG style, cause it is one! I'm playing it now....just waiting for a new day to tick by to start my climb up the castle.

Wow. I guess I did spark somebody's interest. The game I am thinking it should be based around is Final Fantasy X. That is the one that I am the most familiar with. What do you guys think? I have a couple of characters going through my head. I got this summoner-warrior guy that I have been wanting to create forever. Help me out please.

Going to agree on that.

1 was fun

10 and 10-2 I didn't even pick up.

7 and advent children is the best imo

No. JUST NO.

X blew horribly. It was a clunky system, with no real benefits to it as compared to VIIIs junction or VIIs materia. Even IXs ability system was better. Vs classes and VIs was another decent setup. But X was the suckiest game in the canon FF series.

6,7, and 8 are somewhat similar in character/technological capabilities.

9 is similar to 10 technologically, both focussign more on magic and short range weapons.

All have a somewhat spread-out world map that allows for diversity, don't think it's necessary to go with only one FF.

Personally I always wanted to see a fight between Esthar and Midgar, or perhaps the Empire vs. Esthar. Maybe the old Zanarkand might work, but not much is known about it.

The best one for a RP would either be three or seven for several reasons.

Technology: Seven is VERY modern tech and easily RPable(is that a word?). Three is pretty old tech but still reasonable. 8,9, and 10 is confusing ass tech where some things are really old and other things are super advanced.

Storyline: Out of all the FFs seven and three have the best storylines by far (especially since Advent Children was released). Eight was meh', nine was ok, and ten...I heard how it ends and I'm disgusted.

Characters: seven and three provide enough diversity without getting wierd creatures like nine. Eight was nothing but humans, ten could work here too.

Well that is your opinion. I liked the game. It had a good storyline. Graphics weren't that bad. X-2 wasn't even that horrible to me. That's just my opinion though.

The ending in ten did sorta suck now that I think about it. That's probably why none of you guys don't like it. Tidus falls for years and lands in Besaid at the end of X-2. That is sorta dumb. Solarin League you are probably right.

When did Advent Children get released? Isn't it on PSP?

It gets released the 25th, but my friend has it straight from Japan with the subs. It is sweeeeeeet.

It would take a while, but I guess we could take bits and pieces from all of them.

For instance I disliked 8 but Triple Triad and the GF system rocked hard. Seven I loved the characters and the storyline. Nine...was...ehh no comments.

True but then we have to also follow all of the laws of our nations. Like in my nation teens can stay out as long as they want while in someone elses nation they might have to been in their house by noon. There are a lot of different complicities with making our own Final Fantasy: NationStates.

National laws would be discovered once you get to the nation in question. All that matters are the effective combat systems. And since we won't actually be saying "I use the fight command." Or something similar. It's RP, decide the magick system we'll be using and we're good to go.

Summon System: I like GFs
Fighting System: Class system or post FF7 (I prefer the latter)
Common Characters: Sephiroth is a must

If you use GFs you have to use the entire GF/Junction system.

[NS]Wooshaba
22-04-2006, 01:43
The technology is going to FT.

I am not sure what magic system to pick because a lot of people are saying that there are a lot of different ones. I know for sure there will be White Magic with various spells like Cure, Cura, Esuna, Protect, Shell, Reflect, and Life. With Black Magic I was thinking of changing the elemental spells to Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. What do you guys think? Each element would be weak against another. I don't know much about Materia. Can you guys explain what is about? I think Rikku from X should be seen somewhere in this RPG. She always makes a situation interesting. Blitz Ball would be fun. What about Sphere Break tournaments? So many things going that happen in Final Fantasy should be included.

If you use GFs, they're the sopurce of your magic, making Materia extraneous. The fact that there are Materia summons makes it even more redundant. I'm trying to find the simplest setup, at least in my eyes.

Materia is just orbs of "lifestream" that each utilize different magics. Basically you find materia and put it in your weapon so you can use it.

Summoning using the GF system will have to be limited. HEAVILY. They're alot more powerful, and alot easier to use. I propose a limit of 3 GFs, at most per character. For example, I have dibs on Bahamut, Diablos, and Quetzalcoatl. Why? Because I think they're the coolest of the GFs. If necessary I'll replace Bahamut with someone like Ifrit or one of the other "weaker" GFs.

Any thoughts?

Anyway we did it they were going to have to be regulated. After all, they are summons, which means they are going to be powerful no matter what the FF game. Also, it isn't like we were going to let one person say their character had all of the summons...

As for just having dibs on them... I think we need a better system than just calling them.
Maineiacs
22-04-2006, 02:59
I'm all for doing it FF7. In fact Midgard would be an awsome setting, and there was no cooler villain then Sephiroth. Good idea to limit GFs. Why don't we devise a way to dole them out depending on each character's class/role?

Better than getting them ICly. You just KNOW somebody'll wank Eden as their first GF, I mean, yeah, Eden was cool, but NO ONE needs that much power, not even me.

I figure calling dibs is a better choice than just letting people find them ICly. For one you can argue dibs OOCly before it gets started, hence my acceptance of maybe someone thinking Bahamut(second best summon in my opinion) was overkill. Although Doom Train would be fun too... And I can think of clever ways to use most of the summons available. In fact, that's what I'll do. I want Quetzalcoatl, and whatever no one else wants.

That too is a possibility. I'll still tke whatever's left over. Brothers, Carbuncle, Cerberus, Doom Train, whatever's left, I'll pick from. My class will most likely be the stndard "fighter/mage/whathaveye main character" type. Generally well balanced, but possibly excelling in combat more than magick.

I think to determine summons, we should do it in steps.

1) Create our characters
2) Determine whether or not our characters would have summons or not
3) Determine how many summons per character (it would be interesting to have a summon or two that nobody had and would show up in the story).
4) Have everybody list the summons they want (in ranking 1-x, 1 being the most wanted)
5) Go from there...

You're overcomplicating things. Most likely every character will have summons. Accept that and move on. Now, just keep things simple, 1 or 2 steps, not 4. We already know we're gonna limit the summons, and the most reasonable number is 3, unless you want us to start killing off other characters for more GFs.

I've already said my one demanded GF, we'll leave it at that.

My way isn't that complicated. Step 2 is basically part of Step 1. Step 3 we can determine right now... calll it 3 GFs.

There now we are down to only Step 4... and that is the best way of figuring out which GFs multiple people really want.

I still have no real idea on what we plan on doing for the setting and such. I mean I can loan my rather, er, large and powerful country as a setting as well. THe storyline generally can fit with any of the systems, but we need to have a thread to make a character and a storyline before all this awesome interest wanes away.

Will this be a character or nation RP, or a combination of both?

I have a few proposals of what I would be willing to RP:

1) I'm used to RPing from a corporate perspective, and could do it as either a 'good-guy' or 'bad-guy'. RPing Headmaster Cid/Gardens from FFVIII or Rufus Shinra/Shinra Co. from FFVII or something like them I could easily do.

2) If we do more character based RPs I could also easily RP as Sephiroth or similar character due to my knowledge of FFVII and also my studies of Nietzsche, which are essential to creating and understanding such a character.

3) If nothing else I have Esthar as a place to visit, current leaders and map of Bjornoya (northern) is in my sig and should be working now, obviously heavily influenced by FF series. Visara Co. is based off of Shinra, and is a state-wide monopoly. Chocobo races are displayed (you're welcome to use/place bets) within the BISE if we need a "Gold Saucer" type of place. My nation could be another good staging ground for part of the RP.

On a side note if anyone wants to use it there's a site called emuparadise that has the soundtracks of FFVII-X and FFIII in MP3 format available for free, Liberi Fatali and One Winged Angel are must have songs for true FF fans...

Pardon me for offering no help whatsoever, but just expressing what my interests are.

My country is somewhat unusual in how it operates. It is extremely advanced technologically, yet most people do not really comprehend magic except as some sort of strange and unknown form of physics. Psychic phenomena is more pronounced and understood, though it is still somewhat rare it can be incorporated into some machinery in Crownguard.

The main things to understand is that Crownguard is unabashedly controlled by a central authority, the people care deeply for the rulers and vice-versa. Honor, duty, loyalty, and intellect are some of the most prized attributes in the Enlightened Empire. The people themselves embrace technology and genetic engineering into every facet of their being, yet the tenets of chivalry and the like are what keep them tied to their 'humanity', especially in dealing with the less-enlightened people of the worlds in which Crownguardians inhabit. The people themselves are merged with much of their technology, yet the OmniNet linking their society is not enough, and people are generally free to explore individual faiths and beliefs, so long as they do not disrupt the order of society.

Thus, it is not uncommon to find things such as technologically-enhanced knights and 'Paladins' going around keeping order and protecting others. These people are selected from those who most fully embrace the tenets of the Enlightened Empire and serve as elite military forces. Crime is virtually nonexistent due to heavy indoctrination as well as generous welfare and social equality programs throughout the nation. The education levels are some of the best, well, anywhere really and compulsory for everyone. Children are raised mostly in social creches.

The country itself is very welcoming of new people to examine the ways of life that have made us so prospeous. Immigration is generally easy to perform and refugees are often welcome. yet this sort of moral honor-bound society has made the country itself extremely active in international affairs. The condemnation of other nations is not considered in order to pursue policies to protect weaker nations against genocides, to feed the poor, and so on. Duty demands no less.


So anyways, if I made a character it would be enjoyable to bring it from my own country, unless this is more darker age fantasy. In which case I have other ideas.

I don't think we should give people a certain number of group of summons they can summon. We should create a scale and put each monster, aeon, whatever on it. Then we should create our characters. We don't need but so many summoners in the first place. Also are we using materia or are we just going to be able to say, "I summon . . ."? I am going to find a list of all of the summons and post them here and then create a scale with them.

Here (http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/summon.shtml) is a link to a list of the summons that will be used in this RPG. These will probably be the only ones. Totemas can be summoned by anyone. I don't know how we are summoners are going to earn the ability to summon certain monsters. I am thinking some type temple system. Your characters can't automatically say that they control certain summons.

humm, i've played 7, 8, 9, 10, and 10-2 .. i consider 8 and 10 to be the best, to be honest. the others bugged me for various reasons.

anyway: i would honestly suggest 10's system, as it was if you had the advanced grid on. . . each charicter had a "focus".. a track they were naturaly set up for, but you could send them off down compleatly different paths with a little more effort.

as for summons.. i'd actually say create a new system. possibly based on the GF system, but not.

i'd contribute my nation, if you want.. it's past tech though. freaky/strange/tangental past tech, but past tech none the less. hunt down the PT Angermanland Refernce Page [or something like that] for information on it. the first post has everything of any consiquence as yet.

really, i would suggest not specificly baseing it on any previous FF. heck, that way you could institute various other elements that make the random hopping from futre tech to past tech to modern and so on make sence.

reguarding summons again, if you did the afformentiond thing, perhaps if the summons were limited to the nation [element of reality?] where they were found? so each time you moved, you'd have to get new ones.. that would stop anything super powerful being a perminant problem.

if this turns out to be a good set up, i'd contribute a player too, if you want.

Wow, sounds like a heated debate here. Personally, I'm a FF7 fan, all the way. I've played almost all of them except for X-2 and 11, but i've spent well over 800 hours on FF7; it's just that good. Anywho, I'm not sure about putting in a character, but like I said before, my country's open for anyone who wants a place to just chill. It's sort of a laid back country in regards to war and such, and most of the people are friendly. If you'd like, I can grant digging rights to some ancient temple sites where legend has it contains some very interesting "magick" items. Like I said, legend, so I don't know the validity, but most who go there don't come back, at least in one piece....Oh did I mention the Werefoxes? Yeah, it'd be good to know about those....little....nuisances....before you decide to take a night-time stroll or go digging in uncharted caves. Werefoxes are like werewolves, 'cept it's a fox (duh). Biggest difference though is that werefoxes are generally muich faster and more agile, but not quite as strong. However, they are still much stronger than the average human, and have very large teeth and claws. Usually, they don't attack, unless you piss one of them off, or go stomping loudly into their territory.....usually....

@Wooshaba: TG

Got your TG. Appreciated a lot. I like the idea of the jewel. Since there are so many types of summons I think that we should try to pick key summons like Bahamut and Shiva. We should make some of those summons the ones that reside in temples. There could be other ways to earn the other summons.

If we're going to combine FF places why not make a new map? Or if we do base it off a known FF map there are always 'mystery continents' etc.

Midgar would be quite advanced for Spira, unless Spira has rebuilt itself to the former glories of Zanarkand and Bevelle prior to the emergence of Sin. But then again it would be a good contrast to places like Besaid, Kilika, and Luca.

To all: For perfectionist sake the city is called Midgar (minus d) in game, but seen it spelled both ways.

To get from Spira to Midgar there is going to be an airship and a ferry that goes from one place to another everyday. The airship takes one day. The ferry takes a week. Should be interesting. Sephiroth will be an enemy. He needs a partner in his crime though. I am thinking a new villian. I need to find someone who RP a really good villian.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Loki.jpg

Name: Loki (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/vivi.jpg)
Gender: Male
Race: Black Mage
Age: 5
Hair: Unknown
Eyes: Large Yellow
Height: 3'3" (1 meter)
Weight: 50 lbs.
Weapons: Staff of Merlin (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Staff.png)
Abilities: Black Magic and Summoning
Skills: Digests knowledge quickly and well
Personality: Shy and reserved (much like his appearance)
Pets: Formerly Nilrem (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Furball.jpg), but currently Fuzzy ( http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Fuzzy.jpg).

Loki is a young mage who has great potential for magic. He was born to a half black mage, half Elvin mother and a wizard father. However shortly after his birth both his parents were killed in a mysteriously – it was later revealed to him that Morgan d'Isel that half brother of Merlin (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Merlin.jpg) murdered them in her attempt to gain ultimate power. The defenseless and small Loki was taken in by a great white wizard who Loki began to call Grandpa, though he didn’t have any relationship to him other than an adoptive protector.

"Grandpa" taught and raised Loki from the age of just three months. He taught him the usual education of history and such, but also taught him in the ways of magic and how to harness his potential. Mysteriously, however, "Grandpa" disappeared and shortly after Loki went on a long adventure to the previously uncharted island of the Dragonlords. After his adventure to the island, he returned to his home, a cave located on the peek of one of the three mountains making up the triangle of peeks in the northern highlands. When he arrived he re-met up with Sir Bane and his new traveling companions. They then went on a quest in search of an important figure, and in the end Loki learned that Nilrem (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Furball.jpg)
(his life long friend and companion who was an Eborall) was a manifestation of Merlin, who Loki then helped free. They then returned to the castle of King Alfred of the House of Steward where Loki was made an honorary nobleman of the court. Also, Merlin revealed that he was Loki's uncle and from then on Loki contacted him often.

After returning to his home in the mountains with his newly found uncle, Merlin, Loki again departed on a long and mysterious adventure. This time he traveled to a Wasteland of confusing and unknown qualities. While he was there he met the horrifying and unknown figure known as Sephiroth, though more commonly referred to as the Angel of Death. However, Loki eventually managed his way out and upon returning to the normal world, he set off to find the White Tower for instruction and learning. He found it after a long journey and met many people that would give him a lot of new experiences. He had a few different teachers while he was there, but a lot of what he learned came from the countless books he read; amongst them was one he kept named Magic…

Loki wears clothes that are much too big for him including a mage’s hat that often gets in the way. He also wears a ring known as the Ring of Protego (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Ring1.jpg) and a pendant called the Pendant of Luminance (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Pendant.jpg). The Ring of Protego is a charmed ring that protects Loki from spells that are not of the major category while the Pendant of Luminance is an eternal light to guide Loki (although it is believed to also have other mysterious properties). Loki carries a wand with him but rarely uses it. Likewise he carries a staff with him known as the "Staff of Merlin". The staff belonged to the Merlin (Loki's uncle), although Loki knew nothing of its power until he finished his adventure at the Triangle of Peeks. Loki is quite clumsy and not very deft with his movements. He often trips and falls over random objects and even himself, in part because of his oversized clothes, but also due to his natural clumsiness.

For the first few years, Loki traveled with a fuzzy blue ball, which was known to him as a rare and mysterious species called Eboralls. The Eborall, Nilrem, had been with Loki every since he can remember and is his best friend. Nilrem does not have a language of any kind but rarely make a *Crrrrr* noise to signify something important. Nilrem loved trying to get to the highest point that he can by jumping or bouncing to the top of people’s heads. However, when Loki helped free Merlin, he learned that Nilrem was merely a manifestation and disappeared as Merlin re-emerged. However, Loki did find a new friend – a baby polar bear who he named Fuzzy ( http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Fuzzy.jpg).

Corin Featherback

Male, 38
6' 180lbs
Brown hair, blue eyes
Skills: Explosives, Hand-to-Hand Combat
Abilities: Some experience with magic

Corin was a soldier, but retired a few years ago. After leaving the army he found gainful, if mind-numbingly dull employment as a sanitation worker. He quickly grew tired of this and sought out adventure as a sort of "soldier of fortune". Corin is a man of few words, preferring to let his skills speak for themselves. If truth be told, he has never really been comfortable around other people and although he is a decent person capable of focused work and even loyalty if he believes in his cause or objective, he invariably gives a first impression of being aloof, if not downright unfriendly. His conversation tends to consist of cynical observations and sarcastic one-liners. The life of a mercenary/ adventurer suits him well, as it allows him to pick and choose his fights, not get emotionally involved, and travel about as he pleases. Corin has never been married (although he sometimes will refer vaguely to a childhood sweetheart named Lori) and he has no living family. His parents died when he was 16, and he later learned something of their deaths that made him bitter toward Shin-Ra (or whoever the baddies are in this). His weapon of choice is the gunblade (if you'll allow them, otherwise rifle and/or sword).

Guess i will throw my char in since i am a fan of FF.

Name: Aesma Daeva ( In persian the name means Madness Demon)
Gender: Male
Race:Half Human Half Daeva
Age:17
Hair: Blood Red
Eyes: Crimson
Height: 5'11
Weight: 187
Weapon: Two kodachi's ( Two Swords bigger then a short sword but smaller then normal.)
Abilities: Fire of the Daeva ( spits blast of fire from his mouth), Unyielding Madness ( Can go beyond his normal limits when he loses controle however it has drawbacks if used to long.)
Skills: Double kodachi style, Reading other people by their emotions.

Aesma is one of the Daeva a order whos one goal is to spread choas and disorder through out the universe. Aesma has been sent to this new world in order to bring Choas to the world. He is the youngest by far with the 2nd youngst being his mother who is 19,293 years old. He is half human and this cuases him to have emotions. He isnt sure if he wants to bring choas to this world however he dose not wish be disloyal to his mother nore to the teachings the Daeva have been so careful to implant into him. His Daeva powers may only just be strating to awaken but he is no push over.

Aesma has a one key weakness do to being half human. His body is human but the energy or his aura is of a Daeva. This cuases his body temprature to be at 135 f at all times. He is able to stay normal at this but when fighting for periods of time his temp rises even higher. If he ever broke his limits in battle its unknown how his body would react to the heat.

OOC: is there going to be magic other than summoning?

I believe instead of having a summons Sephiroth should have Meteor.

And I think Wooshaba listed a few some pages back; cure, fire, aero, water
cura, fira etc...

Think status effect magic would be a good addition since one of the greatest/most annoying parts of 'boss battles' are the various unforseen status changes i.e. silence, sleep, berserk, float, petrify, doom, confuse, mini, haste, slow, stop, shield, reflect, bio(poison)

Whichever are best.

Name: Kadaj (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v723/Luporum/Kadaj.jpg)
Gender: Male
Height: 5,9'
Eye Color: Light Emerald
Hair: Grey
Weight: 176lbs
Age: Unknown
Blood Type: Unknown
Weapon: Double bladed Wakisazhi
Summon: Neo Bahumut
Spells: Flare, Silence, Berserk, Small

The last being cloned from Sephiroth, Kadaj, is a desperate to seek Jenova's approval. Kadaj is infinitely envious of Sephiroth's bond with 'mother', but still obeys her every command. The main being: "Serve Sephiroth to wipe mankind from space."

A generally small figure, Kadaj, is incredibly agile and quick. His blade is created from a new type of advanced steel and Materia. Normally Kadaj is cold and calculating, but when 'mother' is discussed he enters a berserk like state becoming completely psychotic.

The thruth is that Kadaj despises Sephiroth as a brother who would hate his older brother for being the 'favorite'. Kadaj has never actually seen Sephiroth or Jenova but can constantly feel their presence; always recieving new orders.

I noticed you included spells and summons. For my character I am not really going to list the spells as he can do a lot (like most mages). And as for summons, there are only a couple he can do, but I have to think of which they are first.

I assume you can create whatever character you want (within reason), but if you create a boss monster, it probably won't have a big role and will be killed.

Sephiroth's 'summon' is called Super Nova, not Meteor, my bad.

Causes massive damage (15/16 of HP, kills some planets in the FMV) and may cause confuse, sleep, slow, and silence to all opponents.

Other Moves:
Pale Horse: Causes minor physical damage and mini, frog to one opponent
Wall: Barrier+MBarrier
Break: Massive Earth Damage to one opponent + possible petrify
Shadow Flare: Massive Physical Damage
Wing Slash: Massive Physical Damage
Heartless Angel: All opponents HP reduced to 1
DeSpell: Remove all status effects from all enemies or allies
Break: Masamune

Can obviously adjust to RP needs, the mighty Sephiroth will not resort to turning his opponents into frogs, nor should he be allowed to kick too much ass.

I'll definately agree to let Bjornoya play Sephiroth. Haven't seen anyone ever connect Nietzche with him so he obviously knows the character very well (perhaps more than me) *admits defeat*.

Omega is a push over in FF8. FFXI....he's annoying, but still moderately hard. Just keeps spamming guided missiles and other junk. Ultima is where the real problem is. Citadel Buster and you all die. :D

Ozma... = flying joke that a lvl 1 could beat.

Absolute Virtue = Cheat to win. Mind you a 30 hour fight was done against him...and they had to cheat to begin damaging him? To this date NO ONE has ever won a fair fight against him. Absolute Virtue = death.

It'd be fun to take on Sephiroth as AV. Though it would be totally one-sided.

Sephiroth uses Super-Nova.
Absolute Virtue takes 5 damage.
Absolute Virtue auto regens 250 hp.
Sephiroth uses Omnislash.
Absolute Virtue takes 20 damage.
Absolute Virtue auto regens 250 hp.
Sephiroth craps himself.
Absolute Virtue uses Comet, Meteor, Eagle Eye Shot, Mijin Gakure, Aeroga IV.
Sephiroth takes 15,000 damage.
Sephiroth is defeated.

Ozma took some strategy.

Haven't and won't play XI, but heard of it.

Ahem?

Sephiroth uses Heartless Angel

Sephiroth uses Wingslash

Right, as I recall this is going to be a character RP, or at least revolve heavily around our characters personalities, having a big-ass boss creature would serve only one purpose, as an obstacle to our characters. Otherwise, little could be built around the pyschology, will, and dreams of such a creature.

Again, I really hope the battle's won't rely heavily on turn-based, calculated moves as it would resemble too much the games. I hope for a bit of strategy of course, but also a bit of art in the fighting styles. If we remain strickly orthodox to the FF gameplay, why not just play the game?

Omega? There was no Omega Weapon in ff7. Just Ultima, and he was a mandatory beatable boss.

"Descend Heartless Angel?" Sephiroth's Kingdom Heart's uber move? That was a one shotter unless you had second chance on or you hit him. :P Which of course Absolute Virtue would. (Sephiroth NEVER got that move off when I faced him, it was just strike raid!) AV is just a beast that goes nuts with 6 wyverns that hunt you down, has instant cast of every spell, and each spell will kill a level 75 character in a single hit (or many). Absolute Virtue puts Sephiroth to shame. All you need to do is find 200+ people who are max level and with the best gears and have killed all 7 Jailers (Gods themselves) to release AV (50% chance) and THEN kill him.

Sephiroth wouldn't even stand a chance, as all magic spells are useless unless elemental. X-X Weaponry is horrid, only a special weaponskill does damage. His wyverns need to be kited away. He needs to be thrust into a wall and then endlessly nuked by about 30+ black mages over a course of 2-3 hours in a position where he can't defend himself or attack to be beaten. :o

Also...everytime he gets hurt, he can benediction and regain ALL his hp. :D

AV has 200,000+, but SE made him get WEAKER over time to let us win finally! (Down to about 100,000 hp after a couple hours then it seemed set).

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/images/mobs/Absolute-Virtue.jpg

Even 80,000 is nothing when this guy pulls out hundred fists and pops you for 1000+ a shot while his wyverns spam spells for 1500+ (Where a character has 1100 usually at 75) Annoying under any case when he instantly recovers or can come back from the DEAD (to full health) for another round. XD

24-04-2006, 06:02
Let me just point out that no one cares about some uber boss from the online game. Of course he has to be godly, why? Because groups of roughly 90 people are going after it. It's a pointless arguement to begin with.

Besides one was made to be beaten and the other wasn't soo yeah....

24-04-2006, 06:12
Ultima, my bad. It's been nearly 6 years since I played the games...

Just as an enemy that can be referred to or referenced to until a final battle or something. You know you didn't have to kill the Ruby or Emerald Weapons. Omega or Ultima Weapons, Ozma or Hades. The Dragons from FF6. Though you remember FF9, Necron existed. Zeromus pulled all the strings in FF2.

Point is you could have several sealers or protectors. Just like we have to go through on FFXI, we must first kill all 7 of the Jailers to RELEASE this guy. (Each Jailer is like a major major major boss battle.) You could have the main enemy try to obtain power through this way or some other method to harness the energy, and if all of them (no need to actually do it) are set free you got a new problem to deal with)

Its not an uncommon thing in Square's arsenal. Kingdom Hearts also had it with Ansem. All of the villians under Maleficent and Riku under Ansem showed out at the VERY end to be the real opponent. But whatever, I don't want to play a one-shot guy anyways. :D

Been looking through FFVII script and some of the characters presented;

Seph can have a lot of interaction with characters who could be viewed as being 'produced' or 'manufactured' rather than 'born,' looking at Neo Zeta's character and was wondering what specifics might be, along with DMG's although Loki has parents, if the Black Mage parent was created similar to Vivi's it could lead to potential dialogue.

As for Seph's goals in FFVII vs. now, it will obviously need to be changed for this RP depending on the environment. The actual presence of Jenova is optional, but refernces will be made to her in with Kadaj. Seph's relation with the Ancients (Cetra), mako, materia, the Planet and the Lifestream are all expendable and can be adjusted/removed and still make for a coherent character so long as there is an alternate route for him to acquire vast amounts of power.

That's just it....there is no way for him to go about doing that unless he takes all the materia himself and tries to obtain 'master materia' or something of the sort. As Cloud and co has the Huge Materia and all the powerful spells besides Meteor at the end. Though I will think about it, there is more then one method to obtain the power of a God. :D

Hey you guys. I got some news on the magic outside of summons. There are going to be two other types of magic: white and black. There are going to be five levels of magic. I am adding in a final level of magic just to make it a little bit more interesting. Here is a list of most, if not all, of the spells that should be here. If you see some that are missing let me know. The level one and two spells will be listed. And then after that you just add the appropriate suffix to the end. The suffix for level 3 is -ga. For level four it is -ja and for level five it is -nos. These are only for the elemental and cure spells. For spells live Haste it will only go up to level two, which will be Hastega. The other black magic and white magic spells will also be listed.

Black Magic

1. Fire 2. Fira
1. Water 2. Watera
1. Geo 2. Gea
1. Thunder 2. Thundara
1. Aero 2. Aera
Bio
Stone
Zombie
Flare
Ultima
Meteor
Blind
Confuse
Sleep
Slow
Berserk
Death
Doom
Stop
Float


White Magic

1. Cure 2. Cura
1. Haste 2. Hastega
Reflect
Life
Full Life
Protect
Shell
Nul-Blaze
Nul-Tide
Nul- Shock
Nul- Breeze (new)
Nul- Rock (new)
Holy

That is all I can think of right now. I will post my character very soon. If you guys think of more spells tell me and I will add them.
Bjornoya
24-04-2006, 23:32
Black

Blind: Lowers physical attack hit percentage
Confuse: attacks random character, lessened hit percentage,possibility of oneself
Sleep: Character cannot do anything until attacked/healed
Slow: Reduced speed
Silence: Stops casting of any magic from effected character
Berserk: Increased physical attack, can't use magic, may attack allies
Doom(?): Auto TKO in 10 seconds
Stop(?): Character can't perform any commands
Float(?): Character cannot be effected by earth based magic

A list of some status effect, obviously don't need to keep all. Effects have a percent less than 100% to hit leaving flexibility to the RP. Also, we can be more creative in the RP as to how certain spells may effect charcters. Float for example, could be used for much more than avoiding earth magics, and could be used as a 'snort' move to remove an opponent maybe?

Others:

Ice
Demi(gravity)

I removed ice on purpose because I think that that falls under water. Demi can be added to the Black Magic. How about we make Float into just a banishment move and not have the effect of being able to not be affected by earth magic. I like all of the black magic moves you added. Also all magicians need to add what level they are on. The highest level in magic that you can be is 5-Complete and the lowest is 1-Incomplete. This is only for one type of magic though. You can be a level 5-C in black magic and still be a 2-I.

Magic-wise, not so from me. I would like to hear what the plans/general layout will be. Part of Sephiroth's role in FFVII was to explain mysterious or unknown information to the 'good guys,' in some ways to try and use against them (i.e. Cloud's real history, the history of JENOVA)
DMG
25-04-2006, 01:02
Wooshaba']Also all magicians need to add what level they are on.

I assume by magicians you mean mages (as magicians are generally considered to be the fake magic guys who exist now).

As for Loki, I will say he is a level 3... quite a feat for someone who is only five.

In case it got missed.

If anyone wants their character to have a history prior to the actual RP with Sephiroth it would be great; maybe being a survivor of one of his rampages against a village, killing someone dear to them, or simply knowing who he is helps establish his reputation.

Decided to update Seph's Arsenal:

Magic:

Wall: Shell+Protect
Reflect
Break: Geoja + Stone
Shadow Flare: (Flarenos?) Massive Non-elemental Magic Damage
DeSpell: (Esuna?) Remove all status effects from all enemies or allies
Curaga: Recover decent ammount of HP

Physical:

Break: Masamune
Wing Slash: Massive Physical Damage
Heartless Angel: All opponents HP reduced to 1 (only used when grossly outnumbered)
Smother: Some physical damage + Silence
Forsake: Some physical damage + Blind
Pale Horse: Causes minor physical damage and possibility of Bio, Blind, Confuse, Sleep, and Slow, to one opponent.

Summon:

Super Nova (Ultimanos?)

Items:

Remedy
Ether
Phoenix Down

Accessories:

Safety Bit (immune to Stone, Doom, Death, Zombie, and Stop)
Peace Ring (immune to Confuse, Berserk,)
Headband (Immune to Sleep)

All good character bosses are generally immune to these status changes, but there are others he can be effected by. Seeing as I may end up fighting some or many battles alone, and Sephiroth's overall image I think I deserve it.


BTW we totally forgot cure status magic (esuna) as opposed to cure HP magic (cure, cura etc.)

BTW we totally forgot cure status magic (esuna) as opposed to cure HP magic (cure, cura etc.)

There are a lot of magic spells that 'we' forgot/didn't include.
Bjornoya
25-04-2006, 16:33
Considering we've added more status magic I think having a cure status effects magic like esuna would be neccessary, unless we want cure to play the role doubly curing HP and status, which would make it a rather powerful spell. I say we forgot cuz I think it's essential ,otherwise our characters would have blind/stopped/sleep forever, or at least the whole battle, and when your character generally fights alone, well it would make for a pretty bad battle.

I gotta get my hands on advent children. NO MORE PEOPLE CAN JOIN.

And finally here is my character

Name: Tupac Tessant
Hometown: Luca
Class: Summoner/ Warrior
Height:6'2
Weight:200 lbs.
Eye Color: Gray
Bio: Born in Luca right before Lady Yuna brought the Eternal Calm. He was in Kilika when it was attacked. He got warped by Sin to the world of FF7. In Midgar he was lost until he meant some friends. He then found a sword that contained a spirit. In a battle with one of Sephiroth's henchmen he used the sword to summon his first beast. He slayed the henchman and Sephiroth has been looking for him ever since. He is now trying to get back to Spira to broaden his summons. He now lives in Midgar with the other characters. His sword is called the Summoned Sword.

I will probably start the thread tomorrow so be on the lookout for it.

Sepiroth + Sin (or at least the idea/possibility of Sin even though it's dead) could lead to some interesting scenarios.

Wooshaba, in Advent Children there were three henchmen and I know I won't include them all, so you might want to consider having your character kill one of them (unless you were thinking of using them Luporum?). Aside from Kadaj there were Yazoo and Loz, if the henchman your character killed was one of them it might hit home more to Luporum's Kadaj, and would tick Sephiroth off a bit more.

Like I said, I have no specific plans for using Yazoo or Loz, so Wooshaba feel free to write any sort of battle/incident between Tupac and Loz and I can tie in Sephiroth's influence retroactivelly. Same goes with Yazoo, anyone can write some dialogue or battle between their character and him so long as they can provide a sufficent cause for it. I think though it will probably be best not to kill them both off at once.

On a side note I have a Phys 212 and Chem 332 test on Monday, this should be my last post here during the weekend, if not tell me to go study. Expect Sephiroth's introduction on Tuesdayish. He's going to be looking into the mysterious city of Zanarkand and the creature Sin after he finds out the existence of Spira.

I think it would be weird if it were three different dragons.

I think it should just be one and the different versions of it are based on the summoner's power with it. Also, it would be based on how the summoner first met and became able to summon him.

Note that while Loki has met and talked to Bahamut, he has no *known* ability to call him. In fact, he really doesn't know how to summon any of them, despite having talked/met a few of them (especially a few long conversations with Shiva who turned out to be really nice). The whistle he has can actually summon the Fat Chocobo, but he forgot that and hasn't ever blown it.

Eventually he might find out how to summon some of the summons, but it won't be until later. If he ever learns how to summon Bahamut, it will probably be late in the story and some dramatic thing where he doesn't realize he is doing it (or doesn't do it at all) and Bahamut comes to save him from certain death.
