Okay, I had, like, three hours of free time in school today, so I started some plotting for the story and game.
For the story...
-I'm thinking a 3rd person omniscient narrator. What this means is that we never know who the narrator is or what it is, but it can read the minds of all characters and isn't one of the characters. What I like to do with my 3rd person omniscient narrators is make them seem like they're entirely 3rd person, but at the end or somewhere in the middle, it's revealed that they are their own character. Like what I plan for my story. What I'm planning for the end of the series is that a new group decides that it isn't the Center of the Universe's fault their lives suck, but the higher power's. And I am the higher power. If I did that, the narrator would probably be us.
-We would follow Chris through Althrad and beyond, and use flashes of other places and times for important events away from Chris's group. The other characters' stories will be told via flashback sequences.
For the game...
-I work with the graphics, yes? Yes. I'm going to be reworking most of the Chrono Trigger sprites to make them our characters.
---Aderyn will use Marle. She's very much so like her and I can give her a book instead of her crossbow. The ponytail can easily be turned into pigtails.
---Seren will also use Marle for the same reasons. Will probably make a new set of graphics for Rogue, as well as a victory pose. The most difficult part will be the dress. Poofy things are hard to animate.
---Caelum will use Crono. Nerdy has already started work on that. But I'll polish it, most likely.
---Schala will use the custom sprites the various Schala projects use, if she's playable. If not, I'll probably just work with her NPC stuff.
------Lady Fate will use a recolored Schala. I'm thinking white dress and blonde hair, like what she has after you free her from the Time Devourer.
------Neo Zeal has been described as looking exactly like Zeal, so that's a no brainer.
---Zak will probably use Crono. Not sure on this one, though. If so, new victory pose is a must.
---Gin/Ginsuke will use Magus. Duh.
---Chris will be fun, as he normally uses an NPC sheet. I'm thinking a really edited Frog... probably not. Um... Crono, maybe?
---Shadow and Eket will be the challenging ones of them all. I know they're all difficult, but these guys will be fun. I think Eket will use Magus, but I have no point of reference for Shadow's character sprites. As obviously Richter Belmont has sprites... EDIT: From the picture Shadow provided, I do believe that his character will use Crono as a base, but not sure about it.
That's what I'm planning. What do you think?
