Welcome to Gaia! ::


Okay, there's been ALOT of confusion lately, with most people spreading false and just plain wrong information, and others just confused as to how things will actually work. Well I'm here to clear up everything, and this is straight from the what the admins have said.

First, the battle system isn't coming out soon. Fleep has stated recently that it's so early in devlopment, they can't even release a public demo. But rest assured, it IS being worked on.

SECOND, RINGS ARE NOT SUBSTITUTING WEAPONS. They've stated that rings will function sort of like materia. Some will up stats, some will give new attacks and skills, and some can be combined with other ones for new, better effects. For a price though.

Third, the clothing and weapon type items our avatars CURRENTLY can wear will be used as sort of accesories, giving us stat boosts.

Fourth, the admins have stated that donation items will NEVER play a large part in the battle system because it would make it unbalanced to those who can donate more.

Fifth, the style of play will NOT be like in the little preview video with Lanzer punching the rock puppy. They've stated that the video was just a little intro type thing, designed to segway into the design part. In fact, the battle system is apparently going to play like "A game that's part Paper mario, Final Fantasy tactics and Ragnarock online in one". However, it's to early to even guess what system they might end up going with.

Sixth, they've stated they don't want to confine us to cliche premade classes, so we can create our own classes. Own name, stat distribution and whatever skills we choose to equip.

Seventh! The battle system will also herald the pet system. Will these pets help us in the battle system? Most likely!

So. Plenty of discussion here. Questions are welcome as well.


SOURCES: Monster concept art, and some shiz. (Remember, the rock puppy thing IS NOT indicative of the actual combat)

Why not put out an actual demo? :]
Where we can play it.
Demos have glitches.
And people catch those glitches.
GAME-TESTERS.
Right? ^_^

Because it's not demo ready yet crying

But, I suppose if you assume anyone could be lying about anything that you haven't seen with your own two eyes, there's not much more point in discussing it.

So the last I'll say on the subject (i.e., what will probably be my last post on this thread): it is in development, it's come a long way, and so far, it looks great.

otakon Q and A part 1

pretty much every video has something to do with the battle system.

Hey, first screen! User Image
Does the 3d background mean a download?
All my sources so far, some of the stuff has been lost to the analness of time. If anyone has some more stuff to back me up, don't hesitate to post it!
Oh snap. That means I can't use my Katana.

Yeah. But they'll probably release a katana weapon, so it's a really good bet you can use A katana.
It's going to be fun killing all of you. Ohoho!

While you said weapons are NOT gonna be a large part of the battle system, is it safe to assume that we can use our weapons (swords, staffs.) in the arena? Maybe not high power, but at least to hit a rock puppy over the head.
thank you this was realy helpful -Glomp-
Hmmm more and more I am seeing "The World."

I heard about the rings and how what clothes you wear can help dictate your classes. But, since they didn't want to limit classes, we can create our own. Let us hear the joyus cheers from the Robot-Ninja-Pirates.

And personally, I'd like if when you fight a monster, a magic barrier was formed to keep it fair and one-on-one.

Whoops, forgot to put in the class thing. Thanks for reminding me!
What does never play a large part mean?

And, although there are balancing issues which would prevent it and things, in an RP sense, someone with a Halo is probably going to to be freaking powerful xD

I heard that no donation items/monthly collectables will ever be specifically made for the Battle System/No game items would be in envelopes D:
