It was SO hard not to release it last night with chapter 14 :).

I'm so glad C99 convinced me to do it his way ;)

The boss in this chapter (no spoilerys for those who haven't watched the videos) is a nasty son of a bitch. It's hard to tell, because Faust is running an NG+ with uber-powerful characters, but is this chapter's boss one of the bosses who had his difficulty rebalanced from the alpha?

Hehe, Chrono'99 seem have a huge contribution in polishing the games, congratulation on you two. Without any fight and debate from you two the game will be turn out slightly unpolished.
Again I thanks you two :lol:

99's polish is what makes the game good. I focused on getting the overall picture done, making sure the skeleton code was there, that battles were triggered in the right spot, getting dialogue/cutscenes in, basic maps etc.

But none of that matters if the game look good/ flow well and that's where Chrono'99 just.....went above and beyond my wildest dreams.

That was...so sad. :( I know it would have happened anyway, but it would have been sad THEN, as well--just in a different way.

And they STILL didn't get rid of him...! He needs to go down!

a little bit of comedy in an otherwise tragic scene. this chapter probably was the defining chapter of echoes.

Yea, I felt like it was important to have some funny CTesque scenes in this otherwise depressing chapter.

I'm not going to lie I still laugh when Taban catches that Porre guard, and root for Gato in Leene Square.

Fun Fact: I thought about having Gato get killed there (a la Robo in CT) and then bringing him into Lucca's house to get repaired (again....similar to CT).

AMAZING CHAPTER :') ...

Masamune, noooo!! (and I guess its almost time for this blade of heroes to be cursed... *sigh*)

I just can't believe that the entire world will never get to play this gem of fan work... Please, any update with the Square Enix side of things? (Any contact with SE of Jap?)

**Sorry for asking and not dropping the issue so simply... I just... The story really does... *sigh* (I haven't been following the recent threads as of late, and I dunno if FW has gathered any news [>.>]?)

Yeah usually I polish the scenes and maps and there are a few scenes I coded myself (for instance the Mystic Den and Glenn's decision, and the Atash Kedah), but here I didn't have to do anything, everything just blew my mind :)

I'd like to know why Cakulha is so kind all of a sudden though. He killed Marle and laughed at the death of rags-Cedric and the humans of the Reptite 1 AD... Why didn't he want to take over Chronopolis in this timeline? In my plot draft, he was supposed to still have caused a nuclear threat and whatnot, with the only difference being that the Central Regime wouldn't believe the Time Fortress rumors that spread after the missile base attack, and so Chronopolis wouldn't risk being discovered (which is the initial reason why Belthasar wanted to restore the Masamune timeline).
