Master of the Wind (Complete!)

[Xephyr]

These games are brilliant. Probably the best RPG Maker games I've ever played. One of the reasons is the brilliant mapping and eventing. How the heck do you make people move like that? Sorry I'm a n00b at RPGMK. Like at the beginning of Arc I, everyone moves without you doing anything. :P

@Volrath (and i suppose everyone else)
I was meaning that Vec is heavy and sparrow is light. Vec is total earth mage and even if he had that power he still has the heavy thing, but we know sparrow doesn't

How do you know Vec is indeed heavy? Couldn't he have been faking it? I can't remember any hard evidence that he was indeed heavy and not faking it. If there is proof, I have completely forgotten it and may need some refresher.

And, as a disclaimer, I'm iffy about whether Vec is Sparrow or not. I'm just arguing for the sake of it.

 

[clive owen's secret identity]

Well, there was this scene in Arc 2...

Spoiler

Vec was punched by Shadehorn, correct? Well, a normal person would die from that. But Vec knows Earth magic and has the side effects. Thus he survived by being Rock tough! Proof that he is not Sparrow.

 

[EmuMaster2002]

... Things frequently survive getting shot in Solest, so I don't think a single punch provides much evidence.

 

[bradleydfc]

Just because he blocked the punch, doesn't mean he happens to be rock solid. Couldn't he have learnt another sort of magic, like guading?
Just a thought.

 

[Fenrir]

I'm not sure if guarding is a magic you can learn but Earth magic definetly makes you stronger and more able to block a powerful punch from Shadehorn. I still think it's Kovak and definetly NOT Gino. Vec/Barry are good candidates as well.

Spoiler: @RedDawn

What Rye meant was that Vec could be able to copy spells and use Earth magic naturally. In other words, maybe he learned it growing up and got all the side effects...and then discovered he could copy spells later in life. I actually pointed this out a couple pages back...how it has never been suggested that this copying skill is not compatible with naturally learned magic...and I was shot in the head by Bruno for my efforts.

Oh. Sorry if you took it personally. I only meant it as a joke.

The possibility of Barry has been discussed already, i think. If he hasn't then it's the same problem with the Emma theory.

Sparrow had to be around to work for Kovak before the events of MotW. Remember Morias said that Sparrow was involved when Kovak opened up in Rellenia.

 

[bradleydfc]

By Guarding, I mean magic in the same league as Invisivility, Teleportation etc. Volrath was talking about it a few pages back, as apose to elemental spells.

 

[Korin]

I think we should start up a pool for Sparrow's identity.

 

[mimic]

Sparrow is just Sparrow maybe there isn't any secret identity just becuase Cade and Bones have secret identities it doesnt mean everyone does, most likely he's Cade's brother or something like that...

Nah, I meant it as deadpan ironic humor...but that never carries over well on the internets. Oh yeah, expect Arc IV in mere days, but in the meantime everyone go play the new Memento Vivere.

 

[mimic]

Great! I can't wait to play Arc IV, By the way did you release Clean Slate as a game? i think that would be interesting to play.

 

[Red Dawn]

FEW DAYS!!! OH YEAH!!!
@Bradley, for post no.3 on pg 127
I suppose its possible, but in the carriage they said that earth makes you durable, thats why vec was just winded by shadehorns punch. Youre right, could be something else, but thats what they think too hehe. Also, i dont think its Vec cause of scene where they are plotting shroud/stoics deaths, Vec asks 'whos best for shroud' or something, if he was sparrow himself I think hed know he was best for it.

Or he could just be charmingly modest. Vec seems that kinda guy.

Lesse...

Vec: I highly doubt it would be him. I mean, despite the possibility of learning earth magic and soon discovering the ability to learn wind magic...but this is very difficult to pull off, considering the fact that during our first encounter with Sparrow, it was in the dark and he could see perfectly! If he had the side-effect of slow, it would be very big handicap for him. Vec IS an earth mage, for sure, in my opinion.

Kovak: No...don't think so, because Kovak's more or less too old for that job, so suffers from movement issues. I won't say much, but throughout the arcs, he does show signs of fatigue easily, and hasn't fought in a good while.

Barry: I...kind of think this might actually work out. Barry moved to EK's side, then hates S&S for them causing trouble for everyone. But then again, Sparrow appeared when they tried to open in Rellenia. This is also the same problem with Emma.

Violet: I...kind of doubt this part here, she has no reason for it, and isn't too keen on helping EK...but then again, who knows. We don't know that much about her.

P.S. Artbane, I want Arc 4...I couldn't finish beta-testing!!! X.x silly snag. I can't wait to play through normally.

Also, a treat for you guys, I'll tell you some interesting things I experienced beta-testing the game some weeks after it comes out. :p

He said he wouldn't since the file size is too high (this was back when RPGMaker didn't support MP3s), which is a shame in itself.

 

[G-man]

Aside to the conspiracy theories going around I decided to ask a different question, how did you and Artbane come together as a team anyway?

 

[Qig12]

He said he wouldn't since the file size is too high (this was back when RPGMaker didn't support MP3s), which is a shame in itself.

IIRC, there was a patch that allowed RM2k to use MP3's.

 

[Mage of Games]

I'm new here, and I just want to say that Master of the Wind is one of the best games I have ever played. One question, though, how do you beat Zala in Arc III? She always fries me.
