Tales of the Zodiacs: The Conquerings of Marconious

mybanner4a46be27b73b4.jpg

Story
He has lost everything because of what he has done. He has lied, stolen, and now he is just a beggar, the lowest of low.
But now, he must work his way to be Emperor of the Universe, or take it by force.
Marconious has been thrown out of his own town. He knows he must get to Tofbird City where he can just start a new life. But on his way there, he meets some unexpected allies. Now he must either take the path of Good or Evil!
Sounds like your everyday basic RPG doesn't it? Here's where it gets different.
(Not done with this so just wait for now ok)
Here's a basic rundown for now, of what will happen. You will conquer each continent in the World. Once you have done that, You will be able to access the void and travel to other worlds and conquer there continents. Here's the catch. You have to start from level 1 at each continent, and work your way up to the top again. All your item will disapear but, they will be stored for you in another area that you will be able to access after you have completed a world. Once you have completed and conquered each world, you will be able to access your items at all times and be able to go whereever you want and complete sidequests and level and have fun even when the story is done.

Classes.png


Introducing an all new class system that just so happens to be chosen by you while playing the game!
After a certain part in the game is completed you will have the option to either choose the way of Strength or Magic.
Here is a rundown of all the classes.
Simpleton: Idiots. Basically a Hoboe with a club and some bad clothes. They get one skill and it stinks. Good thing you get to change pretty quickly!
Magician: A basic low class magic user able to use up to level 3 magic. Not too special really.
Swordsman: Sure he can handle a sword okay but not much else. Can use some armor but really he's not all that powerful. Guess its better than being a Simpleton.
Mage: Decently Powerful Magic users able to use up to level 5 magic and wield Wands and Staffs.
Ne Mage: Able to use Level 3 magic and still equip better than robes armor and wield Swords.
Knight: High defense with the ability to wield 2 swords at once. Also whenever a Knight uses an item, its power is doubled.
Warlock: Able to use the Highest level of Magic but still doesn't have a whole lot of defense. Spells are quite Powerful!
Pos Mage: Like the Ne Mage, Pos Mages can wield swords and now also Axes, and still the armor. They can also use more magic (up to level 5) than a Ne Mage.
Paladin: The Paladin is the Knight in shining armor! Well not really. He has a Good defense rating and His/Her Atk is also powerful, but He/she can also use up to Level 3 Curing Magic.
Berserker: Totally Disregards all the need for defense to unleash powerful attacks upon his/her foes! Nothing can stop this guy when he is on a rampage!
Necromancer
: Retains all the magic learned as a Warlock but also gains the abilities of the Necros. Eventually Gets the Powers of the Undead for Newer and More Powerful Dark Magics!
Wizard: Only Able to use up to level 7 magic but has the ability to wear heavier armor than the warlock and has the ability to use Swords and Lances!
White Knight: The Second Highest Defense in the Game along with the Highest Attack, and with the ability to use up to level 6 Magic, Make the White Knight a Tank pretty much!
Assassin: Super High speed and many instant kill skills with a good amount of attack make the assassin quite the Powerful Class. Although his defense is a little on the low side.
Champion: The Highest Defense along with the Second highest Attack and the Ability to Dual Wield Two-Handed swords and Axes. Champions Rock!
???
: I may or may not include this class. If I do I might explain it.

Now here's a rundown of the Characters.
Marconius.png
Marconious: You at the beginning of the game. Marc is about 26 and doesn't have a penny to his name. Except a club and some clothes Marc doesn't have anything. He wants to change that, which is why he was kicked out of Rolus.

arthadia.png
Arthadia: She pretty much has done absolutely nothing with her life. She is a wanderer and has nothing to do all day most of the time. She comes from somewhere around the Sacred town of Yggdraman, but she doesn't remember much about her past. She is about 22.

Gregory.png
Gregory: He is an escaped convict from Tofbird. He has been running away from the city when he ran into Marc and Arthadia. He doesn't like talking about what he did much(he tried to kill the mayor of Tofbird) so Marc and Arthadia don't pressure him about it. He loves to travel and his favorite food is Gilga, a chocalaty dessert from the water town of Palentia. He is about 23.

Kembed.png
Kembed: He is a would be prince from a far off continent until, while on a pleasure cruise with his parents, a storm came in and he was found washed up on the shore of Tofbird. He has been taken care of by the mayor of the city for 13 years. He is about 24 now and he wants to get out and try to find a way back to his Kingdom.

I am going to add more later but for now here is a preview of the game. There is not too much right now, but tell me what you think.

O and Thanks to Kylock for the awesome battle system. It rocks dude!
 
The game I downloaded is in french :S

Well, I really like your story! :D It reminds me games like Wild Arms and stuff. yet with an inovating story!

Some aspects you want to improve though:

- "He has lost everything. He is a beggar, the lowest of low."
Why/how did he lost everything?

- Your char Arthadia needs more work.

I know that you will improve. ;)

Keep it up!
 
Ok this is freakin the crap out of me because I have never even seen this game before....and I am putting up my game...not this dang French one!!!!! I'm gonna change it again ok. I'm sorry for all this
 
Okay now it is the right game.

Just played it, is the "preview" just supposed to show is well the first "dungeon" or what, and the player gets the wrong direction to the first town, wich we don't visit in this "preview".

A suggestion remove the "preview" and wait to put it up when we can play a little more.
unless there is some bug that does I can't get to the first town.
 
Hey there! I gave a look at your topic... And i really liked it! The sound, the environment, the world map(which I don't have), are great. That maps reminds me of the first Final Fantasys. :D

One question I need to ask. I don't know if you said it before, but are you working alone on this project?

- Oh, and with a little more details about the characters it becomes great.

Cheers!
 
Technically yes I am working alone on this project. There are two others, but they don't do much. They live next to me but they just lazy buts. LOL! Why do you ask?
 
I stopped for a long time but I decided that after looking back on all the work that was already put into this, why not keep going. I'm gonna finish this cuz to me it looks like it might turn out great.

Put in a much longer demo than before! Under game obviously.

o and here are some Pics of the swordsman and magician classes on Marc

I actually downloaded the demo, because this restarting and change of classes reminded me of the reincarnation in hinduism. Where depending on your karma you either enter the next sphere of higher being, stay in your current one or are degraded (cuz you said he has to decide to choose the good or evil path).
Anyway, the demo is a total disappointment. It's unoriginal and unbalanced and not at all what I thought it could have been. At the moment there is no story present at all. The 2nd character joins you for no reason but being able to fight the monsters. She is basically just a shell with no content.
I played 7minutes till this water ghost or what it was came up and it was plain boring, all one does is fight with not even a goal. (I don't consider reaching that city a goal, because your character has no motivation at all).
 
*Sigh* Yes I admit that the story really has not been flushed out enough just yet.

But really right now I just wanted to have something up to show that I will be working on it. I'm working to be better at making a story come out right now, so I hoping to make it a bit better.
 
Ok!

Another update has been added and this time you get as far enough as the first Class Change. Also several areas of the game have been updated including flushing out more of the story in the beginning.

Hope you enjoy! O and a world map photo should now be included in my first post as well!
 
I like the Giant's ass-shadow.


Also, I don't understand this line in the character descriptions:
"He wants to change that, which is why he was kicked out of Rolus."
Is Rolus for poor people only or something?
