This project will never actually be 'done', but there's enough to it now to be worth sharing. A treasure chest full of items and accessories from the 1998 ps1 rpg Legend of Legaia

#sculpture #legend of legaia #retro gaming #The flutes don't sound good but they do make noise and that's the important part #look it's fine maybe spikefish and lippians like unpleasant noises #If I had sense I'd make stuff about media that's popular and current #but I think I'll continue to just play stuff 5 years late and fixate on various ps1 games #Speaking of 5 years late I just started Red Dead Redemption 2 #Really looking forward to BG3 in a few years too

I had a game development idea, so if you’d like to hear me ramble about an idea involving ATB and Stamina systems in RPGs, follow me. I should warn you though, that this is probably the longest post I’ve ever written.

So, I was looking at gameplay of Final Fantasy 13 out of curiosity, and a thought struck me.

Xenogears, Chrono Cross, and Legend of Legaia all use something I refer to as a stamina system for their attacks: You have a certain amount of points, and you can use as many of them as you want in a given turn, with extra bonuses sometimes stacking on top depending on how many and what types of attacks you’ve used. If you wanted to stretch the definition, then you could argue that Baten Kaitos does this as well, but with cards instead of basic attacks.

This made me realize that Final Fantasy 13 did something similar, but using Time as your resource. You can have an entire log of basic attacks, a medium amount of medium attacks, or a limit break that takes up all your time. What also separates FF13 from the aforementioned examples is that FF13 uses it for all of their abilities and options, instead of just basic attacks.

I know that a lot of the criticism towards FF13 comes from having to rely on auto-input rather than manually planning out your turn. So I started to think on how I would maybe handle the same idea of an “ATBar as Resource” or a take on something inspired by FF13.

My theoretical battle system goes something like this. Like FF13 your options revolve around queuing up sets of commands for your character or characters to enact. Unlike FF13, you have as much time as you’d like to have when deciding your commands. (Think Wait mode in classic FF games and Chrono Trigger, where time pauses as you scroll through your magics.) However, your turn only starts once you’ve queued up your attacks and what have you. When you’ve finished selecting your strategy, the time starts ticking and the abilities you’ve selected all start to charge up, going off when they reach full charge. Like Xenogears Deathblows, there would even be extra moves and bonuses for choosing the right combinations. The key difference here is that it applies to more than just basic attacks. Like using two spells that go off at the same time to combine, or using ascending levels of spell to create an ultimate attack for that element.

I actually made a little design guide for comparison, and hopefully explain the idea better.

I realize that stamina systems might be best used in a more traditional turn-based system, so that the player isn’t getting overwhelmed by constant inputs. However this is why I suggest the pausing as the player picks commands. To keep this more in line with ATB, all of the turns will have a separate ‘Cooldown’ phase that determines when they’ll be able to act again. Maybe even have this cooldown extend the more actions or longer actions are taken. To keep this from getting to confusing, I’m suggesting color coordination. I’m picturing something like this:

(I was worried the photo wouldn’t look good. My colored pencils are not the best quality.)

Hopefully even a system as theoretically complex as this would be manageable if everything is laid out properly. A standard party status would look something like this:

Revisiting the whole Combo Finisher/Deathblows mechanic, I feel like this is a personal preference rather than a solid design necessity, but when your combat relies heavily on experimentation, a clear way to keep track of what works is vital. I’m not suggesting that all the combos are listed fighting game style right off the bat, but rather that the game keep track of discovered combos and potential combos.

Like, say that you have used the level 1 Thunder exemplified in my first diagram, but you haven’t yet acquired the other two Thunders, or if you have them but haven’t used them in that order yet. Then when you start your turn with Thunder it will register in a database that you can check on the main menu. It will say “[Thunder l.v.1] + [???] + [???] = [???]” This doesn’t really tell the player much, but it does say at least that there is a combo move that starts with the basic Thunder. This means the player will find out when they are on the right track, won’t hesitate to experiment, and have a place to check their moves if they step away from the game for a while. I’m not a believer in explaining to the point of killing discovery. However I’m also very much against blind aimless wandering.

This last idea might be a step too far, but at this point I’ve spilled everything else, I might as well spitball this too. What if, in this theoretical RPG, you could combine turns? Pass one character so that when the next one finishes cooldown, they pool the available attacks and queue points so that even bigger and more complex combos can be built?

Idk Man, it’s half-an-hour into the next morning, and I don’t even know if a game like this sounds like a good idea. I am not, have never been, and most likely never will be a game developer. This is just the most detailed gamecrafting thought that I’ve ever had, and I feel like it should be written down and documented just in case. And hey, if there are any Indie devs out there who would want to take a crack at this type of combat, please tag me, I would Love to see if this works in practice as well as it does in concept!

Thank you all for indulging my very detailed ramblings.

So I replayed a game I always loved but never could beat as a kid, Legend of Legaia, and I FINALLY BEAT IT and

**spoilers for Legend of Legaia**

this was rated E in the 90s, but one thing I didn't know about it until I replayed it as an adult was all the existential body horror that was in the game! I would've been freaked out by it as a kid, but this was awesome!

For the most part, Legend of Legaia’s graphics are very charming. I prefer the look of the battle models to the wandering-about-towns models but it’s similar to Final Fantasy VII in that regard. So, no big.

However, the cartoony (by choice) and clunky (by hardware/software capabilities) models really do some of the plot’s darker elements a disservice.

Spoilers for anyone who hasn’t played the game but is thinking about it…..

The Conkram part of the story? Super dark and would be creepy as hell with modern day graphics and more realistic models. Noa (and CO) rolling up into the town where she’s been told her parents are to find not just them but anyone still alive is actually fused with a monster that has taken over the town?

The pulsing walls, the intentionally unappealing color palette, everything. Especially the moment where the soldiers who are guarding the basement (and are basically conjoined because of the Seru that has taken over the town) realize the queen said you could pass and they split themselves. The rest of the NPCs will still talk to you as long as the town is still there. They don’t, once they do it.

Shit like that is impactful anyway, but with modern visuals? It’d be wonderfully awful.

I know the game wasn’t nearly popular enough to warrant a remake—probably not even a digital remaster, sadly. (Legaia 2 being a dumpster fire didn’t help). But damn. It would be awesome.
