[ Midgar ] Sector 6 Sewers: Bestiary
› ost: let the battles begin ( link )

The sewers, only two enemies. Almost done with the first group of enemies in Midgar. Using the battleback as the banner, as it has a sort of nostalgic charm to it that just fits the bestiary pics better. Might do that for the others as well, but I also have a higher quality image ready if that ends up fitting better.

I'm going to start ironing out the first chapter of our story, figure out some tentpoles for the entire thing as well to hit. Try to get everyone's input on how much stat involvement, etc. I'm probably going to just set up a discord server for us to use to chat. It'd be good to get everyone in one place.

I just got to Chapter 13 on the Remake, so I'm that much closer to getting back to finishing the bestiary. It'd be good to have at least Midgar done by the time we begin.

Any other things you'd like to revamp for the system before we begin? Such as using Limit Breaks in RP battles and quests? Like 100 words extra to the total and can only be used after a certain amount of posts where you've taken damage or something like that?

I actually ended up hearing back From Sanarian yeterday as well and seems he is interested in joining us though we haven't had a chance to actually discuss details about that yet. Hopefully we'll be set to go pretty soon.

Cool, and I'll just use a “FF7F-Set Name” type of filename for the pictures I upload so that we can keep it organized as we go.

I'm pretty familiar with words to XP formulas, Tanaka-San and I used them on a couple projects back in the MSN Groups days. They worked really well. Would this just be for RP quests and such, or would this also replace the exp rewards from each enemy in RP battles?

edit: actually now that i think about it, tana and i used a word to point system, since we didn't use exp. it was something like every 10 or 100 words was 1 point to divide into stats. we could still do it with exp though, like every 100 words is 1 exp x lvl or something like that.

The upload on the sub-sites aren't working right now for some reason. As for stuff like word counts, that's all really dated content (circa 2007) if we're going to use counts we'll probably have to come up with something more user friendly, like a word to xp formula or something. All the content here is very old, we can pick and choose what we actually want to use for what we end up doing.

I've tried using the address it has, but the image doesn't show on the post. Is there a certain path we need to use, like /images/green-materia.png or something like that? Also wondering if we can make folders to organize the pictures into separate albums.

If we don't end up getting that to work then I was thinking we could always make an imgur account for FF7 Fortress and just put everything there for now if we need to.

Bestiary:
Added Total stat values. Now everything can be sized up at a glance. I thought the Dex stats would mess things up, but it actually puts everything at a perfect balance for where a character's level and equipment should be at.

The only exception to this would be the boss, Guard Scorpion, but this is fine if multiple people combine their stats to fight it (or a higher level and better geared person who should be able to solo it at that point anyway).

The only problem I see with this is the 100 word and 1 post rule we have set, and the fact that item drops and the steal materia are pretty much out because we're likely not going to be having stat battles. I'm sure the boss battles run differently, but at the moment it seems like it only takes 100 words and 1 post for a group to take on the boss. Not sure if this is the plan, but thought I'd point it out so we can figure that out. We could easily implement an increased word/post count for each level an enemy or boss is ahead of someone, or even for like every 10 stats that something else is ahead of a person or party then it adds another 100 words or something like that. Would be pretty easy to figure out with the stat Totals already being calculated the way they are now. I only mention this so it feels like a couple more turns of combat take place for stronger enemies than just walking in and dropping everything in one shot. Though everyone could reasonably still do that with anything equal to or less than their level/stat total.

Perhaps there could also be optional posts that don't really apply towards the word and post count, but are required to do certain actions such as steal? Like if someone has steal and wants to use it then maybe that could be a post that requires its own word count of trying to steal based on the circumstances, but it doesn't go toward the word/post total to defeat enemy.

As far as uploading images now if you go to the site homepage (dystopiapro.com) and click on dashboard button at the top of the page you should now be able to go to the media tab and upload images. For some reason it's not working on some of the individual sub-sites right now, something I thought I had fixed awhile back, but anyways. Feel free to upload whatever images you need there for now.

That whole photobucket issue is the reason I want to move the images over to here too. Just in case imgur does something similar or something happens to my account on there, at least the images here will be fine.

Also I do like the current images of the weapons, but I was thinking about using the ones from the other FF7 remake that came out, not the actual Remake, but the little HD rerelease that came out. There are some nice new images for the classic weapons and armor. But also I noticed some errors in the boomerangs, like the slots in the 4-point shuriken and the damage of the wind slash for example. Thought it would be a good opportunity to touch up on that stuff as well. I'll tinker around with an example what I'm thinking while I'm at work today. Don't want them to have as much info as the bestiary, just want to see how they look in the blue box.

As for like equipment, the pages here aside from like red xiii's weapons already have images for almost every weapon. As for like bogging the site down, that's not an issue I have unlimited storage and bandwidth. Back when I started moving content and archiving stuff here photobucket was still free, since that's what I mainly used for MSN groups I generally just copy/pasted pages over. Last year or whenever when photobucket added more hosting restrictions a lot of that content went to shit. Slowly but surely I can get all the stuff across all my archives here changed over.
