One thousand years after the climactic battle that nearly destroyed the world, the Human Federation thrives, established by the formal King Lance. The land finally knows peace, until the birth of a special child marks the Federation's chance of over throwing the Magical Empire. With this child comes a prophecy that the Six Elemental Sisters will reappear as well, to prevent the Federation awakening the child?s powers and leading His people to glory. Take control of Leon, a soldier in the Federation's elite "Lacrima" unit, and begin a quest to rid the world of all Magical Users and return peace to the world.

View attachment 2565Leon
Weapon: 1H Sword / 2H Sword
Leon was raised in the ?Lacrima? unit ever since both his parents were murdered driven by this event, he swore he will bring justice for his fallen mother and father. He is a bit stubborn at times, but he cares greatly for his friends. He greatly admires Magnus and wants to be a great knight like him one day. Leon wears a stone around his neck, given to him by his mother.

View attachment 2566Therese
Weapon: Spear / Glaive
A mysterious girl who came across Leon in one of his missions. Having features like a boy(ie the face....T>T might need to change that....), Therese has had a hard time interacting with other people. She may come off as cold at times, but she actually cares for people despite her guarded personality. She takes the liberty in joining up with Leon and his friends and becomes an important part of their group. She cares a lot for Leon, for some reason. She gets a smirk on her face when ever she sees a broom, maybe she's got a thing for brooms??

View attachment 2567Tidus
Weapon: Cross Bow / Gun
Tidus has being in the ?Lacrima? unit since he was a small child, and grew up with Leon and the others. His father was known as the "Eagles Eye" and lost his life in battle. Tidus always looks up to his father, and strives to honor his father's legacy by becoming even sharper gunmen. He occasionally flirts with the girls, but his a formidable shooter.

View attachment 2568Magnus
Weapon: Poleaxe / Halbert
Magnus is an Genesis Knight for the Federation, and is also know as the ?Blue Flame.? He is very respected by those around him, soldiers and citizens alike. He has great faith in justice, and is prepared to throw himself into any battle to fight for peace. Magnus?s title suits him well ? he is an honest, dependable man with great knowledge of combat. He?s in charge of the management and training for the "Lacrima" units, the members all look up to him.

View attachment 2569Avalon
Weapon: Bow / Cross bow
Lacking in strength, Avalon committed herself in the study of medics. She strongly believes in her comrades strengths and enjoys spending time with them. She is kind to others, with a warm heart, and trusts in the ways of the Federation. She can be stern at times, but can also be relatively carefree?

Weapon: Knuckles / 1H Sword
The "older brother" figure of the group, Justin specializes in hand to hand combat, but can occasionally use one handed swords. Being new to the unit, Justin tends to close himself off from others and keeps things to himself.

Please be warned: The Following Screenshots does not include any battle, I will post up the rest once i get a few things sorted, please bear with me
Another note to add all the screenshots you see here are just dummies, the CG will be used plus the BackDrop, but the rest are just for show (ie Text, names and postion in rank). Sorry for the misconfusion

Features

- 30 + Hours of game play (May vary depending on number of side quest)
- Varied storyline (You decide, side with the Federation or the Empire)
- Spectacular storyline
- Tactical Battle System


Battle
The world is filled with enemies. You must be prepared
You will be beset by enemies both in towns, and the while traveling throughout the world. Be sure to have your characters outfitted with their best equipment and ready to fight. When battling, characters that aren?t as suited for close combat may still offer strategic advantages through range or healing abilities. Keep an eye on the Status screen, as it contains vital information on each of your units. Use the battle field to your advantage. Efficiently utilizing elemental attacks, ranged attacks, skills and magic can greatly affect the out come of the battle.

Battle System
Victory requires more than mere strength
The amount of movement is one of the most important areas to be aware of, as it determines how far units can move. One turn usually consists of two actions, attacking and moving. Using this knowledge, you can hit and run or attack quickly to finish off your enemies. The direction of an attack makes a difference in the attack?s effectiveness. Position your units carefully as you approach enemies. Use the terrain to your advantage, as the battlefield itself can be your ally ? or a vicious enemy. In the world of Lacrima, there are Six Elements that influence your units; Fire, Water, Nature, Wind, Light and Dark. Each unit on the battle field has one element they are tied to, so use it to your advantage.

Limit Breaks (If Possible)
Bring the inner power of your people
Every time you make an action or take damage, your Limit break gauge will slowly fill. Use Limit Breaks to unleash powerful attacks that can pulverize enemies some may cause debilitating status effects. Limit Breaks are powerful, but here?s something to watch out for: Some enemies may use it on you.

Enhancing (This feature needs to be worked on)
Check out the workshop and watch the real magic happen.
Enchancing is a way to craft your own weapons and armor. With over 20 unique Soul Gem, you can make countless custom weapons. Throughout your adventures, you will acquire special items filled with magical powers known as Soul Gem. Get your Soul Gem appraised, but remember that nothing in life is free (maybe just this game). You can choose how much you want to know and pay to identify your new found SoulGem.

Online battling (This feature will be considered but might not be added on)
Take part in a battle arena that can encompass a continent!
After completing the game, you will be able to battle head to head to other Lacrima fans. Fight complete strangers and make new friends, earn rare items that can never be found in the game.

Interested in the game? Why not be part of the production

The Lacrima Production is always looking for members out there who would like to assist us in making the game. You will be fully credited in which part you did. Please check out our Recruitment Page for more details
 
Looks interesting, but please tell me that Larsa and Gabranth are placeholder names (or joke characters). FF12 is still a pretty popular game, you know. :P
 
Reference to Larsa and Gabranth, these are not actual character names in game, like Diedrupo said, it is just a place holder name. I actually want to keep most of the sub characters name hidden till demo is out, sorry should specify it ^^
Hey malick, hope you dont lose too much interest, forgot to add that in
 
yeah trying to make it basic first, I find if you put too much stuff at the start you will easily mess up, which is why some producer's actually stop their project since they cant keep get things to work. Its best to start from the skeleton (meaning the very core) then working your way through to the end ^^
 
well a simple alteration like Theo or something might be in effect, I think this proj. goes on the list ^^, check the sig.
 
Thank you for comment, yeah now that i come to think of it....she does look like a guy.... GAH!!! @@! great....I just going to change the bio of her and say she has boyish feature and that she gets insulted by other people, so some of the critics won't say I'm gay XD... anyways I might change i later or leave it like this till I can find a new Female role.

Btw do I apply to be moved to the Project in Development? Since did achieve the criteria, or do the Mods look at it and finalize if it is good enough?
 
I am assuming that you've already played Luminous Arc... Because like the very first lines in that game are...
"???: Yes Master?" "???: I've found a new Lapistier Element, it is..." *Decide the new Lapistier element* *Game moves on*

As well they do text in a similar fashion...
Anyways I'm not turned off by the game, but i'm not impressed either. Just work on some things and change the character names... if you don't want people to know subcharacters, just us a ??? refference or "Unknown" It looks a lot better than using final fantasy characters.
 
The screenshots you see are not going to be part of the game besides the face graphics and back drop, the rest are just for props they are not the real deal. The first few chapters of the game script has being made and none. And no sorry I havn't played a game called Lumious Arc, though I might go check it out just to have a tour around like others have suggested to me, I should change the Names, I will later decide to take this step or not.

I am sorry it doesn't impress you, I will try to be more original with the name, but names can be easily replaced. The subcharacters bio is still in development, but they all have a part, if I were to tell you what they did, it would spoil the game.

Thank you for your feedback I will take in consideration to all your comments.

Hey Axerax
