They actually originally posted more posts as a Guest, but I decided to only keep one, for posterity.

We should change "Banned" to "Inferior Being."

Oh, nice! Done and done.

Speaking of which, should we come up with different ranks based on post count? For those who aren't already assigned a special title, obviously.

Let's see... how about we use something similar to the Title system from Symphonia?

SPOILERS, I T'INK:

0) Inferior Being (0 posts)
1) Swordsman (1-9)
2) Mercenary (10-24)
3) Magic User (25-49)
4) Magic Swordsman (50-74)
5) Summoner (75-99)
6) Grand Swordsman (100-149)
7) Warlock (150-199)
8) Master Swordsman (200-249)
9) Wiseman (250-349)
10) War God (350-449)
11) Elemental Summoner (450-549)
12) Eternal Swordsman (550-699)
13) Mana Master (700-849)
14) Ultimate Summoner (850-999)
15) Judgement (1k+)

I'm a little biased towards Kratos, but oh well... oh, that Wiseman one is from Raine's 'Wisewoman' title, but I decided it would be an easier read to make them all the same gender. I dunno.

I know the numbers are a little uneven, but that was the most 'clean' I could get it.

EDIT:
I see you already did it. Nevermind, then. ^_^

Interestingly enough, Lea and I discussed using various titles (and possibly Attack names) from ToS for that. I might bring down the numbers a bit (1,000+ posts on this forum? I'm not really sure about that... ), but those are great! Thanks, Rhyhon.

NP. I actually brought down the numbers considerably already, thinking of how small this forum is (no offense, but you've seen OCR), but you're right, 1k+ is still a little much...

And thank you for spelling my name correctly. You get a cookie.

EDIT:
How low are we talking? Just tell me what to replace 1k+ with and I'll edit the rest of them down from there.

I think if kyle made more sections for other things, 1000+ Posts could be possible.

I suggest makeing an Off topic forum,And some other stuff. Like Video games or soemthing. Just an idea

Well, since this is supposed to be forum about the project, other sections would seem kind of frivolous. That's what OCR's for. Besides, off-topic discussion is fine in this forum right here, with the amount of traffic we have.

So, back on topic...

Who's your favorite character from Phantasia and Symphonia?

Personally, Chester and Klarth are tied for me in Phantasia - Chester's amazing in battle with the Beserker Bow, but Klarth's freaking hilarious and can do amazing damage as well, with his Gremlin summon.

For Symphonia, I vote Kratos for pure badass factor (I.E. the Judgement costume), and Sheena's summons for battle prowess. Now all they need to do is tone down the power of the summons, and let her cast them all she wants... there should be some uber-secret item that lets you go into every battle on Overlimit (whatever it's called, I can't remember).

I like pretty much all the characters to a degree, but Klarth, Arche, Presea, Sheena and Zelos are probably the overall faves. I'm too tired to say why.

As for Sheena, she's actually the easiest character to get into Over Limit, and you can make it even easier by setting her as your cook and having her cook anything that contains rice.

O_o

Eh? How in the world does that work? I didn't know that, otherwise I'd be playing Sheena myself... (*absolutely adores Celsius*)

Celsius has such a neat design.

Okay, Over Limits are triggered when a character reaches a certain number of tension points (you can't see these anywhere, but you might have seen the "increase tension" option in the Grade Shop). Some characters require more than others (Sheena's the lowest, and I think Kratos and Presea need like double what she does) to go into Over Limit. Stuff like getting hit or having a party member die raises tension (if someone dies, the other three party members get +10 to their tension, but it resets for the person who died), and in a fit of insane intricacies, Namco decided to not only make cooking increase tension, but give everyone food preferences that also affects things. Each character seems to have a fav food item (Sheena's being rice) that you can usually determine by seeing what additional ingredients they often use (I think Raine seems to favour lemon?) and cooking that adds more tension points. Apparently least favourite foods (Kratos and Lloyd don't like tomatoes - there's even a skit with Lloyd showing his dislike o_O) are less/not effective.

So... there ya go.

O_O

Where did you find all this out?! Damn, I would have gotten 'increase tension' from the Grade Options if I hadn't thought it was just a decrease in relationship levels.

Heheh... mostly, I just lurked around some other boards on occasion. You get the five million "Dur, I cant get multiplayer to wurk" and then the occasional neat tidbits from people who spend their days playing the game and their nights translating Japanese strat guides for it. =P

Increase Tension is pretty fun, especially if you like summons, but it also makes "human" enemies go into Over Limits faster as well, so it makes it harder to get high combos because it takes less hits for them to get it.

Erm... do you think you could link me to one of those boards you mentioned?

And holy crap, it works! I got Sheena to overlimits three times in an hour and a half!
