Let me just tell you now, Tales always, with the exception of all of the older ones and some of the newer ones, has screen cracking transitions. Actually, only the more recently popular ones outside of Japan have screen cracking. Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia. There are newer ones like Graces that don't have screen cracking.
I'm just using screen cracking because to the rest of the world, screen cracking in this way is signature of a Tales game.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
Real good banners up there, araveutsinaga.
One thing I will say, though, about the several trails of the sword moves. I find it good either what has been done, a trail for each move (perhaps the line is too wide and would be better thinner and with some degree of transparency?) or blur the last one. But the black screen with slashes?. I utterly hate that.
And once again, allow me to ovation this comic.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
New comic, and I must say I'm proud of how authentic I made the layout and the system look. Apologies for it being smaller, but I needed to make it look like the actual game.
Best viewed with this or this.
And the parody is not complete without this

Boss battle will continue later. By now you should also know why he's named Gale. I hoped the Stratos would give it away. If you need reminding: Lightning, Snow, Cloud, Squall.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
I await the person who will use the Pokemon system for battling.
I've lurked since the start, but couldn't think of anything to say until now. You've got an excellent comic, and I can't wait to see where this goes.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
The only game mechanics I'm more or less familiar with are FF7, Pokemon and... SSBM/SSBB.
Yeah, I'll like to see that. :smalltongue:
I imagine it get pretty tough for you to remake a user interface for all the different "creators".

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
Why is Aria smaller?
My memory tells me that didn't happen in FFVII, though I don't know about previous iterations.

It's the way it is. Final Fantasy 1, 1st boss. Garland is a normal sized knight, but in battle he's doubled the size of the player. Hence, Gale is the same thing. It's how the old FF's worked, bosses were always huge.
I thought it was appropriate that the first boss battle would be like Final Fantasy 1's first boss battle., the first WIDELY popular JRPG. I was supposed to mention the size thing in the comic, but I thought that people would recognize the older FF's.

Luckily there will be only five more. :smallbiggrin:

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
This is really, really good.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
Just posting to say I love this; I don't understand how but you really caught the spirit of an JPRG, so kudos.
Also the art is simply amazing, I really liked it.
Oh and subscribing:smallwink:

Coming from the artist of a super popular, long-running webcomic, this means a lot to me.
And for everyone else, thank you too. It's always good to see new faces.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
So... it is real time, except for the boss fights? Wierd.

It's the Tales system for all except the boss fights were another JRPG is parodied.

Only the ranked knights have parody battles. Monster battles will be in Tales style
-
Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
I must admit this wasn't what I expected when the knight said they can shape the battlefield. It was a nice (and funny) surprise though.

How do you expect Aria to get stronger without Level grinding?

Fetch quests? (note that I am not familiar with the Tales series)

Tales series (and in fact most JRPGs) give most of their XP through random encounters.

Right... I need to get some of those games.

Well, the random encounters could happen off screen, right?

Mostly, yes. I also plan to have them in the background while the party travels on the world map, talking through skits, which is another thing non-Tales players will have to get used to.
Actually that seems like a lot of work for nothing, if I draw an awesome battle with three characters fighting a horde of ligars, only to cover it up with a dark gray screen and characters' heads talking.
Opinions?

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
Post both?
One just part of the regular comic, another as Battle Scene Comic #X?

Maybe have most random encounters as filler/bonus strips, with a couple of particulary clever/eventfull ones in the regular story? Also, I had totally forgotten about skits, I'm glad that you didn't.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
Nice jab at primitive RPG game-play.
Also it's always good to see gameplay mechanics used as a plot point, rather than just a cheap joke.
On a certain other forum, there's a M.S.P.A fanvanture where half the party's problems were solved through abusing the RPG system. for insiatnce, using role-playing EXP to level up at-will, and deciding to ignore the turn-based system and just punch the other guy in the face on his turn. :smalltongue: Good times.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
My opinion, make only awosome encounters,and not the 3 goblin ones
(mobile phone FF got me crazy)

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
I'm sure your fans wouldnt mind a few gag comic strips. But don't waste unnecessary time. But if you wanted to parody popular japanese manga, have our hero lose and go spend a few chapters on "training".
-
Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
New comic.
Sorry for the lateness. Real life has kept me busy. To give you a hint, I was a pall-bearer.
Anyway, I can't wait to get out of the FF battle so I will try to get the next and last FF battle out quickly. Depends.

Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
THis is getting long, when will this fight end? if she loses it might be interesting too.
