This means all your "stats" are going to come from weapons/armor and possibly which two skill trees you choose (not my area of expertise so I'm not sure.)

We are living our lives, da na na, na na. Da na na, na na.
Abound with so much information, da na na, na na. Da na na, na na.

Well, if a weapon engraved in someone's name (as well as being unengravable) has a much higher drop rate from PVP, I can see this all working out.

That contradicts what Garral said though, when he said people will be punished more heavily for PKing and whatnot.. is there some mixed signals here or is Garral just stupid.

I think it's as simple as this.

-PK someone in your Kingdom: Heavily punished for it, sent to the cube, EXP loss galore, maybe exiled from the Kingdom and you find yourself on that Kingdom's hitlist for the rest of your life, as well bands of bounty hunters hot on your tail.

-PK someone in another Kingdom: EXP, gold, items, privileges, and other advantages.

Maybe he meant punished for PKing fellow Kingdom members. That would make the most sense.

How are we getting decent gear then? Shops sell garbage. Won't we need to hope for perma chests and the rare champ that actually drops something worth using?

You have to use wooden swords and shields. That's all you get.

It doesn't occur to you that if everything else is so radically changed, maybe the weapon system will be too?

Sounds like being an unarmed brawler will be fun though.

AFAIK, you won't be gaining stats when you level aside from HP and MP.

Alright, this change adds a lot more sense to a whole bunch of things. Also means there won't be too much worry in how to figure out how jobs would've raised stats in the first place besides some special benefits they may provide (such as that 10% healing boost for Priest).

Being able to drop engraved items on death is plain retarded.

_________________________________________

It is retarded Exo, but this is what I'd like to know, to clear up an ambiguity.

1: How much is it to unengrave a weapon that is -not- yours?
2: What is the drop rate for an engraved weapon that is -not- yours?
3: What stops Kingdom members unengraving the weapon of another member?

Ideally, the first should be "Impossible" or "Extremely expensive", or else engravement wont be a worthwhile investment. Second, having it exceptionally high would make unengraving and reengraving a high-tier weapon would be a wise investment. And third, stopping other Kingdom members from unengraving an allies weapon would put a stop to potential drama.

At least that's just how I'd like it from my perspective, me being a selfish bastard an all. How is it going to work out, Dean?

Garral's department not mine. I'll just say this, Terulia isn't FFO. You guys need to stop assuming you know things or that things aren't going to work.

Not FFO, not like FFO.

_________________________________________

For some reason I doubt half of all of these changes of Garral's will get in.

Remember Dream's thousands of ideas? Yeah, Gaku had no intention of adding most of them even though Dream thought he would without question.

_________________________________________

Well I'll be sure to pick an opposing kingdom that my friends are in, power level, store all my items, and let them kill me all day. :D

Not FFO, not like FFO.

This is why I think its pretty pointless to suggest changes "that affect Terulia too" when we don't know what Terulia will be like yet.

_________________________________________

Then why not drag Garral in here and have him answer a few things? And yes, we know it's gonna be completely different on a level of Parasite Eve to Parasite Eve 2, but until we have something concrete on our hands, we'll compare it to FFO until you are locked in a padded cell muttering "It's not like FFO" over and over.

_________________________________________

Or you could just wait until it's out and find out first hand.

The less time he "wastes" explaining shit to you guys, the more time he "utilizes" to work on the game.

That's what beta testing is for.

Go play yer FFO.

Parasite Eve to Parasite Eve 2

Could you, um, like, stop using analogies that relate to things some of us know nothing about?

I've seen that before. It's not as impressive as you might think.

Because Archwizard is a bitch to Perfect out.

Parasite Eve analogies never played it because I suck blah blah blah

I'm saying it will be completely different outright, with only a few common elements. Pick up those games sometime, Locke, you're missing out. (Even though PE2 is way too much like classic RE)

I'd rather waste my money perfecting a Life-Arbalest of the Cheetah than a set of Archwizard...so shitty...

Yes I suck because I don't get your cruddy analogies. You trying to insult me or yourself?
