Pretty positive he means exactly what you said. He was originally just going to do it with Fire/Blizzard/Thunder, but I suggested for him to do it with Water/Aero/Quake and now he's gonna set that up at some point later, as well. :D

[Takuya]

So, uh. Back to squads. Are we still doing that [clan/squad] point system?

[Wynn]

Also, will the w^5h be up and running or is it irrelevant now?

[Raeneth]

Depends. I'd like to bring back the point system, which we were planning on doing for the 3.1 full release. So yeah, a ranking system among squads will return.

W^sh is totally all D's area. He's the one who can give you an answer.

[Rapidus Procella]

Wow just looked at when this thread was first posted, and the current update..1/4th of the progress done only in two days..wow thats really good.. :D

[matrix8140]

Can you tell us what kinda weapons we will have and will there be few or many keyblades.

[Crimson Crashing]

Man, this is getting me all frisky and excited. =D

I have a suggestion, If this is the right place to put it:

I think we should utilize the party system more.
People only joined up with other people(Mostly) to farm, or beat TEM. XD

I think it would be cool if we could have side quests, so you can have fun with a partner, maybe get some exclusive weapons that you can only get after completeing that quest?

20 weapon types total at the time being. Chapter 1 will see about... *counts*... 10 or 11. I think 11. Chapter 1 has three keyblades.

Can't make conditions for people being in a party. You're able to party with one other friend starting in Area 2, and will be allowed to all the way up until the boss of the chapter. You'll have to face the boss one on one, just like the old days.

I can create like... a Doubles Tournament, where it would be teams of two duking it out or solving riddles or whatnot. Events will probably be the only places you'll see rewards for partying, as it cannot be programmed into the inferno.

Heh from the sound of it Rae, this looks like more of a Press Interview rather than comments on the RPG Inferno hahahahaahha *pulls out a notepad from his Chocobo* now back to the serious questions:

1) Since there will be three keyblades out for chapter One, will they be the usual keyblades and if they are will they have the common modifiers?

2) Will we be able to have enchantments again?

3) In terms of Tourneys and Competitions, Are you guys only able to host it, or can Clans host some of their own, with given permission.

4) relating to question 3, if so, are you going to control the amounts of TnCs that are out in the RPG?

5) Will there be a given basic training like before in the last Demo? or will it be a free for all, where you figure things out on your own?

6) Of course this is a new plot, but will there be any hint of Omega coming back as a teaser? or a Event?

7) Last question i promise *laughs*, seeing as there will only be 10-11 weapons in the first chapter, will the sleights involving said weapons be out as well?

8) oops... sorry again another quesiton, Relating to said items that the heartless drop via munny [or currency you are planning on using] will the prices be as low as the Demo? or will it be like before? If it's like before the Demo or BoD, will prices for things rise due to easy access to munny or will prices slash due to a scarce amount of munny if currency is like the Demo?

Well I'm happy to be here and be interviewed XP

1) Since there will be three keyblades out for chapter One, will they be the usual keyblades and if they are will they have the common modifiers?

-chuckles- that depends solely upon your definition of usual. I can tell you that all of the weapons in the chapter have the same amount of total modifiers.

2) Will we be able to have enchantments again?

Yes, but there will be a few changes in how they are implemented. No, I won't say what changes they will be other than the fact that no enchant will ever be connected to a magic you as the player posess.

3) In terms of Tourneys and Competitions, Are you guys only able to host it, or can Clans host some of their own, with given permission.

As per Sham's original stance before, we encourage Squads to host their own events.

4) relating to question 3, if so, are you going to control the amounts of TnCs that are out in the RPG?

Ideally there would be Official events run by staff, and unofficial ones run by Squads.

5) Will there be a given basic training like before in the last Demo? or will it be a free for all, where you figure things out on your own?

No Basic training. There is a training area, but there will not be places to train spells and sleights. You're on your own there in order to find out where's the best place to train. It won't be hard, miss chances are low, and sleights can be trained easily. Mastered when used 24-25 times.

6) Of course this is a new plot, but will there be any hint of Omega coming back as a teaser? or a Event?

Omega was made solely for a send off and in order to break the 4th wall and end the Inferno. He is not canon at this point in time.

7) Last question i promise *laughs*, seeing as there will only be 10-11 weapons in the first chapter, will the sleights involving said weapons be out as well?

Naturally.

8) oops... sorry again another quesiton, Relating to said items that the heartless drop via munny [or currency you are planning on using] will the prices be as low as the Demo? or will it be like before? If it's like before the Demo or BoD, will prices for things rise due to easy access to munny or will prices slash due to a scarce amount of munny if currency is like the Demo?

No interest rates again, so munny will be scarce. Small munny drops will be your main source in income i think with component combinations being a nice lump sum. Prices were low in demo because there were tons and tons and tons and tons of equips in the chapter. This time around there are a lot fewer, so prices are scaled proportionally.

Hm, Thank you very much Rae, it was a good interview, i'll await the next updates to ask a few more questions. Hopefully theses questions helped anyone with curious concerns of the RPG

EDIT: heh got some more questions that arose lately, and some that i've found that game some confusion maybe you can help again!

1) Even though we are voting and telling our opinions, truthfully, how much is our opinions gonna impact the RPG progress?

2) And in one of your posts, you said that "Weapons" will be in the second Chapter? Are you saying that your already in the progress of not just one chapter but chapter two as well?

3) Are we seeing any exciting new events that you guys are planning on once the RPG opens up again?

4) A clan question, are you guys going to limit the amounts of Clans and Clan Members again?

5) Haha are there any teaser or hints of who the Boss will be fore the First Chapter? Not going to doubt the possibility, but will it be someone from the Kingdom Hearts series? or FF? or will it be of a different game or is it going to be a part of the Plot, you don't have to say who it is, just say which category i said does the boss fall under?

[Raeneth]

After a weekend off, thread's been updated.

[Takuya]

Uhm. So, we're still gonna have squads instead of clans? Squads seem so... together. Like they have to be similar. Instead of individual groups controlling an area with complete sovereignty, every group owns an area for an organization that they're all with. D: That takes out the nations idea.

But I guess since there aren't many players (yet), squads are appropriate. But it's kind of weird having kings and knights in one squad, isn't it? <<

Might switch it back to clans. Would have to bug Silh-friend to change our section names again XP it's really just a name, you know? We have time before release to hash out names.

1. When I ask for opinions, it's for a reason. I don't do it just for fun. I get player information and decide if it's something that we should consider or not. User input is always in the back of my mind when designing. Asking myself the question "Will everyone generally like this?" is important.

2. Not sure which post you're referring to. Hard to answer when I'm not sure what you're talking about. Answer is no. One chapter at a time.

3. We need it to be open before we can do events. Priorities.

4. That's to be decided.

5. No.

[Crimson Crashing]

Meh, I really did like clans better for some reason...
