I was thinking the other day about a zelda themed jrpg with a FF7 like feel, how cool would it be to see link standing like cloud in a battle sequence. Screw the motion plus sword thing in skyward sword, I think zelda would lend itself perfectly to the turn baised battle style, navi as a enemy selector, zelda as a healer obviously, epona as a summon like chocobo and mog. Could even have tingle as a blue Mage even though I hate the little bastard. Anyone elce think this would be cool? Any ideas for the characters? I would love to try and make this game but the last game making I did was on RPG maker when I was like 14 and it was terrible lol.

Not to discourage you, but honestly it sounds like a bad idea. The concept of Zelda games is that it is not like other RPG's. You loose the platforming aspect in the recent CG versions, as well as the dungeon crawling. No one wants to be attacked by Keese or chu's every two steps, that is annoying. Actually as far as my reply goes, I hope it encourages you to make it. The elements in the Zelda series do not mesh with the standard RPG style, it would take a lot of work to make it enjoyable without being cumbersome.

how about we leave zelda, and FF7 the way they are...
Randomly throwing zelda characters into a game genre will not automatically make it good...
but hey, I could be surprised

Definitely not. The main characteristics of Zelda's gameplay are items, dungeons. By making a Zelda "a la FF7", you would just remove those.

No, I would not enjoy zelda as a jrpg. Zelda has it's perks and so do FF. Meshing them together isn't a good idea.

If Zelda went as any kind of RPG, i'd rather it stick with action. Being able to level up Link, collect equipment, and all that jazz would be kinda cool, but I really don't think it'd work overall.
Making it turn based would be horrid, however.

You could do charecter classes based on charecters from zelda, Sheikah, TIngle, Zora, Goron etc.

LMAO, dam I was just throwing an idea out their. 90% of people hate it lol. Well I think it would still be a good idea and as for "if it ain't broke don't fix it" if everyone thought like that we would still be living in caves. Look at kingdom hearts, FF characters and Micky FUKIN mouse....crazy but it works!

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
