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…

Updated the game to version 2.2 and the download link goes through itch.io now.

A few of the notables changes below:
-Dravax has a new look
-There is now a 10 step minimum you can walk before random battles can occur
-Initial ATB gauge amount is now randomized when battle begins. This applies to both actors and enemies, so battles now have some variance in the initial order in which
everyone is acting. In addition, enemy ATB gauges are now visible. Since they share space with HP gauges, both have been reduced in size to avoid cluttering the screen
-Meditate: MP recovery amount from Luck reduced to 2 * user's Luck
-Spell Shield: Now correctly blocks several skills and magic that it was not blocking, and no longer blocks healing spells
-Xelltath's Unholy Pact: Now restores allies to full HP

Plus some other tweaks to enemy and boss behavior. The Version History file has the full list of changes. A huge thanks to everyone who played/is playing/will play.

I forgot I dL this game. When I reached the part in the walkthrough where it said point of no Return I thought I had reached the endgame. Then I read on the walk-through; there are literally 40 more boss fights.
I just got bored. The characters are all generic. The amnesia hero with a mysterious past that is secretly the chosen one. The childhood gal pal who decides to go with him. For no reason. The honourable knight. An ex-pirate. A bookworm. The most famous war hero who can die from scorpions in a dungeon. An almost mute guy also with a mysterious past. A generic villain.
And Masotun, who is the most pointless character. Only there to give the player a new item. He has no backstory, no actual personality, and is annoying. "Oh, no. The guy we barely knew and cared even less about sacrificed himself. But he did say, "You can do it!" Inspiring? If you are gonna make a 15-20 hour game, you should at least give these guys personality. Instead of their job, being their personality.
Bosses just show up because there needs to be one there. It's not like the villain is putting them in their way. The bosses aren't even slightly challenging. The only time my party was wiped was against a random high-level enemy and that sea monster that you automatically lose against.
Some of the puzzles and secret passages were interesting.
I don't think I can finish it. 40 more bosses? Really?
