MV - Celestial Legacy - A 15-20 hour JRPG style game

Chazareth · 2019-08-17T11:33:26+0900

Celestial Legacy SECTION A: SYNOPSIS Spoiler This game pays homage to the old Final Fantasy games from the early to mid 1990's. The story is original but follows very similar plot beats and game mechanics. If you've ever played Final Fantasy 4, 5, or perhaps even 6, you should feel right at home here. Overall, this is a low to medium difficulty game using an ATB system with about 15-20 hours of content, depending on how much or how quickly you get through it. The game makes extensive use of plugins, mostly Yanfly Engine, and the standard RTP, with a few extra sprites, animations, and tilesets gathered from around the interwebs (including here!). A huge thanks to everyone who provided these assets. Random battles which use an ATB system Earn JP to learn new skills and increase stats. Each character has a unique skillset and fulfills a certain role Energy is used to fuel special attacks, while some character spend MP to cast spells. Energy Modes allow you to change how a fighter gains Energy during battle A three row system is used to alter how characters battle, and they can change rows even during battle Build up the Limit gauge and use parts of it to unleash devastating Limit Breaks. The gauge is a party resource, so you must decide when and which Limit Breaks to use in a given situation All battle actions are fully animated with Yanfly's Action Sequences Linear story with a number of rewarding sidequests and powerful items to find Yanfly's Options Menu is included to tweak certain options, including window skins and fonts, as well as gamepad support IMAGES/SCREENSHOTS Spoiler Also, check the Let's Play of Celestial Legacy by TheGameDawg!

SECTION B: CHARACTERS Spoiler Garrett - Garrett is an expert in stealth and subterfuge, having honed his skills as a member of the underground syndicate known as the Crimson Hands. However, Garrett is destined for things for greater than the desires of the Crimson Hands and he is drawn into a struggle to save his world. Garrett is largely a fighter who specializes in speed, capable of multiple strikes, debilitating poisons, and the ability to turn invisible. Keiji - A loyal and honorable swordsman, Keiji is the retainer to the kingdom of Arondight and protector of the realm. His father was a distinguished soldier during the war between Acre and Arondight, and he wasted no time in training his son. Though he is quick to judge others, Keiji helps those in need with the speed and precision of his blade. Keiji's high Strength, Vitality, and HP and allow him to survive on the front lines while delivering high damage with powerful Bushido techniques. Shields and heavy armor also bolster his substantial defenses when protecting allies. Phoebe - Phoebe is a priest of the Arcaneum, an organization of mages and wizards dedicated to understanding the arcane. As a priest, Phoebe is trained in the ways of healing magic. Being bright and optimistic, her personality tends to rub off on others, particularly Garrett, whom she befriended at a young age. Phoebe is at her best when supporting her allies by healing and protecting them. Though she has little in the way of physical ability, her magic can keep the party fighting through the worst of battles. Barth - There are few sailors more skilled than the infamous pirate known as Barth. Though his profession paints the picture of a ruthless cutthroat, Barth's interests lie more in freedom and wealth; that drive for the latter is what motivates him to join Garrett in his quest. A life style of constant danger has given Barth a diverse set of skills and equipment options, including the use of guns. Though he is primarily a fighter, his Plunder skillset includes an ability for nearly every situation, making him almost always a solid choice for the party. If only his luck with women found the same success... Lena - Lena is a powerful witch and former member of the Arcaneum. Her thirst for knowledge combined with her distate for rules and regulations drove her to leaving the Arcaneum to study Celestial ruins independently. Though she can appear arrogant and aloof at times, her knowledge of the arcane grants her terrifying power which she never hesitates to flaunt. She joins Garrett in an attempt to understand his connection to the Celestials. Lena employs a mixed bag of magic, ranging from support to raw offensive power. She is quite nimble due to her high speed, but also frail and best protcted by other party members. Xelltath - Shrouded in mystery, Xelltath is a dark knight who hides a darker secret. A powerful curse placed on him long ago has disfigured his body and given him nigh immortality, forcing him to wrestle with his conscience for eternity. In exchange for protection, Lena agreed to research his ailment in an attempt to undo it, but she has had little success. Xelltath…

I do have a question - I now control the ship - I must have missed something or done something wrong - I cannot get back into a couple towns to get the cats and also there is a cave blocked by rocks I cannot get into ? Any help - thanks !!

There is only one cat you can get now. The one you saw before is not accessible until later, as is the blocked cave.

The team gets back to pick up Phoebe and goes to Floating Island. I choose Phoebe to go and set her as a warrior. She cannot longer to collect MP when she receives and does damage anymore. Why?

Energy Modes only affect how an actor gains Energy, not MP. Putting her in the middle row causes her to regain a little MP after each turn, though.

The keys for the doors are scattered throughout the game. Later on, you can come back to the mansion with keys that you've found to unlock new rooms. It will be close to the end of the game before you can unlock everything.

I am at the point to take control of the boat, where should I go next? how to load the map to learn locations. At this point, I only found one key to unlock rooms in the mansion. How do I find the rest? How do I find essence of mastery to learn skills. I only found one.

The next place you need to go to advance the story is the tower that appeared. On the world map, press the 2 key to display the map (you can change this in the keyboard settings).

There are two keys to the mansion you can get right now: one is in the orphanage near Arondight and the other is at Cutty's hideout. You'll find more Essence of Mastery later in the game.

Where is Cutty's hideout? What is the name of the key?

His hideout is the ruin east of Seaknell. Sword Key is what you're looking for.

That isn't until later in the game. To change party members, get on board your ship and press 1 to go to the deck. Go downstaires and speak with any party member to change your party.

I'm amazed how seemingly calm Chazareth answers this impolite t28nguye guy's mostly unnecessary questions. :D

I think I found the problem, there was a switch that allowed you to go back to the final dungeon and it was getting turned off. I have added the switch back to the portal, so what you should do is download the new version of the game which I'm uploading now and create a "save" folder in it. Move all of your save files into this folder and then start the game and load your save. Fly the airship to the portal and it will take you to the cockpit. Talk to the pilot and tell him to take off and you will go back to the world map. Now fly into the portal once more to return to the cockpit and you should now be able to go out the exit hatch and return to the final dungeon. That was a small oversight on my part.

Please me know if it works or not.

Great - it works !! I can come and go from the portal as I want to now ! Thanks for the fast reply and the fix !! The reason I went out was to look for an arcane sprite to steal from ! I like your list of who you can fight and what they drop and what you can steal, but it doesn't tell where they are at ! Do you remember where to find an arcane sprite ? Thanks again !!

That might be a good thing to add to the compendium in a future update. To answer your question, you should be able to find them in the desert region.

My notes say that the arcane sprite is definitely found in the dessert on the world map. I think I had to travel to the southernmost part of the dessert to find them. Also, an earlier, very helpful, posting listing synthesis materials and where to find them, incorrectly states that arcane shards are dropped from the arcane sprites. You actually have to steal the arcane shards.

Yes, southern end - found one - stole shard - Thanks !!

The post was correct, I just changed arcane shard to steal in one of the updates. The reason was because if you fought this enemy randomly and got an arcane shard to drop, it would be stuck in your inventory for the rest of the game if you already used one. Basically, since you only ever need one, I changed it to a steal so that you wouldn't accidentally get more. The same concept applies to the Lacquered Bamboo, which is also a steal.

I just edited my drop/steal list accordingly. Thanks for the clarification. I was really wondering if/how I got that wrong, but it seems all of us were right. :)
