(Also, the Dragon Warrior games on the DS used face pics. =p)
Edit: Also, in my long-abandoned PSII sequel, I was going to have a New Game + mode where the party had an eighth character join early on (Mieu, because I like her and it gave me an excuse to use the Nei-exclusive Claws, Ribbons, and Vests) and an extra dungeon near Piata called The Edge, where Rolf and the others got to fight PSIII's Dark Force and a version of the Profound Darkness called, simply, The Premonition.
I still have some of my notes available if you want them (mostly some skill-related stuff and elemental info. I should've done a lot more work on this.)
That'd be a great help if I understood you right! I may need all the help I can get, since I'm still new at this.
Ha ha ha... that default battle system in XP is so awful... I only use it in my original game because I like to go "against the flow", and because that green-haired mage girl (her default name was Hilda) is extremely HAWT and cute!
So, I've decided to make
Neifirst playable. Nei fights her and loses, but Eusis (because I REFUSE to use the name Rolf - it's too widespread where I come from) shields the unconscious Nei as from the killing blow. The battle with Neifirst then plays out as usual, but this time, they don't kill Neifirst, instead they knock her out and decide to interrogate her on her actions. Eventually, she decides to "join" them in order to wait for a chance when she can kill them off, but over the journey, she learns that not all humans are like the ones who hurt her in her "childhood" and eventually rebels against Mother Brain
Also, PSIV is the only Phantasy Star I've actually completed, so I plan to make an optional dungeon with some bosses from that game. I have already decided that Zio will be one of the bosses there. I think the PD could be an optional superboss, or something.
Another thing, I have decided to make Anna the ancestor of PSIV's Alys. They are kinda similar, IMO.
Don't you think so?
Nei deserved better.
