Hi! I love this idea! Schala is awesome and I always thought she should have been a playable character. Unfortunately, I'm terrible at both scripting/hacking and spriting, so I can't help you, except as a random crazed fan. :p Really great idea, though, can't wait to see it in action. (Schala would actually be perfect for a "Light" spell alignment. I was always wondering why they didn't put in a Holy spell in CT. (I imagine that Luminare is Ultima, and Flare is..well, Flare, but Holy was strangely absent) I think it could also be a good idea to make an Earth spell alignment to counter Lightning...but eh. You can cross that bridge when you get to it) Excellent work so far, though! I don't like the idea of replacing any characters, though. :( All of them are good, unlike in CC, where a lot of characters sucked and were redundant and you only ever used a handful of them GAH WHAT WAS SQUARE THINKING?! >:( It's tricky to do an eighth character, though, if the 8th character mod thread is anything to go by... That "Chrono Trigger Advance" thing sounds really cool, though, can't wait for it. :D Ironically, it will likely be better than CT DS, since it's a non-profit thing, not SE milking a fanbase for all that they're worth for the upteenth time. T.T But yeah, the sprites look great. It's a legitimate problem that you can't really run/fight in great, flowing robes like Schala's... :p I like your idea better. It's 12000 B.C., so she can't just wear normal pants and such like Marle can. :/ Also, I can't view the version 4.1 sprites for some reason. I just get an "error -- page failed to load" thing. Know what's causing this...? I'm using Windows by the way. Oh, also, a suggestion: I noticed for the "casting magic" sprites you seem to use Lucca's twirling-around sprites. I think it would be better if you did something like her Zeal sprite, where she holds her hands out and chants. Maybe. :/ You decide. Have fun with this! It's a real talent you've got, I wish I was as good as you. (Ugh, I'm a TERRIBLE artist, sigh... -.-) Keep up the good work, though. Can't wait to see this in action. :)
Oh, and it actually does make sense to include Schala as a playable character, or at least have her in another game, as it *SPOILERZ FOR CHRONO CROSS AND CHRONO TRIGGER!* doesn't make any sense that the Gate at PD-1 would send her to the DBT. For one thing, it was a time portal, not a dimensional portal, so it wouldn't make sense... *END SPOILERZ FOR CHRONO CROSS!* Secondly, it seems to be strongly hinted that she went into 12,000 B.C. as Gaspar (the first to fall into a Gate) went to the End of Time, Belthazar (the second) went to 2300 AD, Melchior went to 1000 AD, and Janus went to 600 AD. Schala was the last to fall in, so logically, that means that she either went to 12000 BC (most likely...) or 65,000,000 BC. (Since she was technically already in 12000 BC, she might go to 65 mil instead, but...) Or maybe my memory's a bit rusty and I miscalculated something. :/ Whatever. That's my stance on this. But this isn't really the place to be talking about storyline issues, so I'll stop now. *END CHRONO TRIGGER SPOILERZ!*
P.S. How do you add those little banner thingies under your posts like "Schala fan" and "Nu"? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new here... -.-;
