Play With Your Buddies / Re: Let's Play Dragon Warrior 4!
« on: September 07, 2012, 09:40:53 pm »
Hallelujah, it's a miracle! Revivify was cast on the LP! The LP is back with a vengance! :D

Rosa's final scene was amazingly powerful for an NES era game. It's one of those things that makes DW4 my favorite Dragon Warrior game.

Saro may be the original tragic RPG villain (at least on the NES, I'm not familiar with Genesis RPGs). I really felt for him and wished it was possible redeem him. (I guess you can in the DS version? I don't know if I could stand the hokey accents they stuck everyone with. Also, Pisaro? Really? I guess it's closer to the original Japanese, but it sounds like a Spanish conquistador :P Necrosaro FTW.)

No comments yet? I am aghast!

Another fine installment, Ubiq!  Three cheers for Reginald! :D

Prepping for finals has kept me from being active lately. Only a couple weeks to go though! (For better or worse :D)

Glad to see things are going well in the fort. Keep up the good work everybody! :)

Phenix's Notes.

- Finished wall. Not bad work, in spite of everything. Looking forward to next project.

- Goblins tested front gate almost as soon as finished. Mechanisms worked flawlessly, as expected. Goblins repelled, but new wall suffered massive staining from goblin viscera. Tragedy.

- Elven traders arrived bearing goblins. Fairly sure it was unintentional. Traders showed surprising bravery. One (Arele?) badly injured, long term survival questionable. Perhaps commemoration statue in order? (Ideas: Bees=power of the many? Clouds=trancendence over limitations? Think more on symbolism later) M.Commander showing impressive combat prowess. (goblin leader; last fall's Minotaur) Begin planning honorary statue soon.

- Elves have no sunberries? Disappointed.


Addendum; Rumor: Corai has idea? Dear gods.

Enjoy your vacation! :)

Phenix approves of this masterfully crafted artifact; it is indeed made of Win and menaces with spikes of Awesome.

Phenix's Journal

Cilob reminded me again today that the curtain wall is top priority. Does he think I don't know that? Does he think that pestering me about it will build it faster?  I work for the day that this wall is finished so my talents can be put toward more creative endeavors.

The trainees I've been sent wouldn't know craftsmanship if it set their beards on fire, but at least they know which end of the hammer to hold. The extra hands should speed construction along nicely, providing no one is stupid enough to wall themselves in. ... I'd better check on them.

S'ok, I understand that late & tired happens.  ;D

Enjoying the story so far. You're really churning these updates out fast! :)

Just one complaint: you keep calling Phenix a 'he'.  :P

I'll take Rigoth, call her Phenix. :))

Here's my small character interpretation and reason for being here, based off her profile. If it doesn't fit with the author's plans you are free to disregard it. :)

"Phenix" is an assumed name, taken to allude to rising above the common dwarf. An unconventional artist in stone and mechanism, unwilling to compromise her creative vision, she struggled to find a patron in the mountainhomes for her work.  The lack of funding left her to mining the stone herself for materials.  Food and housing still cost money though, and she developed a sizable debt. Faced with the impending Debtor's Hammer (dwarven version of debtor's prison), she reluctantly agreed to go on this expedition.

The failure of her work to find appreciation has made her inwardly insecure about her abilities, which she masks with outward arrogance. She isn't used to working with others and her willful nature will likely lead to difficulties, but she will strive for excellence in this as with everything.

Her profile says she doesn't need thrills in her life; it looks like Cilob's risk-taking nature rubs her the wrong way. :D

Good job on the intro!

Just wanted to add: In my head, Phenix is a modernist way, way ahead of modernism. Inspired by the work of Antoni Gaudi. (Gaudi is awesome; he even looks kind of dorfy.)

Hunter's lure, seconded.

It's alive! :D  I'm still here and interested too. :)

Yikes, your story makes my last month seem not so bad by comparison. Yeah I got sick, got stressed, and have been running to catch up on assignments, but at least there haven't been any boils or accidental self-stabbings. Ouch! Glad there was no permanent damage done at least. (Also, I sympathize on the compulsive ctrl+s-ing.)

Keep up the good work on the story! :)

Doh! Curse you finals, I'm too late to vote!

My roster wouldn't be too much different, really. I'd just swap Alena for Ragnar, keep Nara and Taloon. I've always had a soft spot for Ragnar, and "detective noir with a battleaxe" sounds all kinds of awesome.  But it was not to be...  :'(

This can be a tough time of year, with finals approaching (for those in school) and the holidays and everything. I'm going to hope the LP is merely on hiatus. ^^

Posting to watch. :)

I've enjoyed Evil Genius in the past, though I'm only so-so at it. I've also had the worst luck with losing my saves when I'm close to winning (it's happened twice.)  -_-
