[Complete] Paradise Blue

Paradise Blue

Backstory
In the old Island of Azulea, the natives are pushed away from the land they once held. The ones who conquered the land have settled and created a new civilization on the Island. Now that the King is near death, there are 2 groups that are fighting for the throne.

Characters
4 Guards: You play as these guards. Their gender/class/name can be chosen. They don't have a speaking role.
Neil: A 23 year old Blue Mage. He had a job in the castle, but was removed with a dispute with Llorcan.
Amelia: An 20 year old girl who tends to be really mean. She's an Assassin, but her task is to assist Abigail in acquiring special Tokens.
Lord Javier: A ruler of Marsall. He cares about women more than he does anything else. He tends to exploit both citizens of his town and the government for his own gain.
Amaro: Amaro is in charge of Lotus. He and Salomon are fighting for the crown. Amaro is the nephew of the King and the closest in line for the throne. He is a nice honest person, but also a coward and usually takes orders from Llorcan. He doesn’t like violence so he tries to stop the conflict that would go on.

Hiring an NPC

About the game
You can change your class once you beat the 1st boss. Before then, you can choose which starting class you want your characters to be, out of 6 of them (Fighter, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage, Thief, Monk). You gain ABP after a battle, so once you get enough ABP, the character can learn an ability from their class.

There are 40 quests in the game.

You can hire people in the towns to help you in battle. Some may use abilities like boosting your magic power, walking speed, letting you attack first, and more.

Your download link is coming up as not found. This looks really cool though; fix it quick, I want to try it. >>;;;

EDIT: oh, ffff; figured out why. Fixing it for you.
 
Thanks! I hope people have fun playing it. If anyone finds a bug or something, lemme know. There are some that are RM2k3's fault and nothing I can do, but I may have forgotten something.
 
Hmn... I'm having a bit of trouble with the RM2k3 text. The words are really bold and I can barely read it. I recall this as being a typical problem for this editor, but I don't remember the fix for it. Do you know it?
 
Blar, I'll have to hunt for it.

Anyway, what I played before the font started to piss me off is very good! I like the very bright colors; normally I don't, but it just seems to work well with this game. My only nitpick would be that there's really no transition between screens, and that's something that bugs me. I like my brief fade to black; assures me the game isn't about to blow up in my face. :|;;;

@Asch: I had the same problem but when I installed the ff6 font that fixed it. That's strange if it didn't work for you...

I really like the game! It's a relief to play a RPG Maker-game that for once is focused on gameplay and not on fancy scenes and storylines. It's light-hearted and quite fun to play, it really reminded me of Final Fantasy 1 generally, especially when it comes to graphics and gameplay. All in all it feels very retro-like, your own soundtrack adds up to that as well and sounds very good.

I have only completed a couple of quests as for now but I'll be playing some more later on. Good job!

gw's got this topic going on about the font thing. most of the links under the Fixing Fonts header are broken, but option number 3 seems to still work. might not necessarily fix the problem in your case, but I guess one option is better than none.

This is nice to hear, good that you're liking it so far! Yeah, I was hoping that I'd make the gameplay fun for people to play, and not have it be a chore that you have to go through in order to enjoy the story. I had fun working on the light hearted stuff too.
 
OK, I have a mirror link up, it has a few bug fixes, it fixes the Slash ability so it doesn't work on as many enemies as it did before, it adds a Steel Armor which I completely forgot to add into the game before, slightly reduces the power of some bosses which I've gotten complaints about.

The link is here if you don't want to scroll back up.
