The graphics were well defined, and I'm kind of partial to RPGs. (Especially Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior)
A decent RPG game on Newgrounds would be sweet indeed.
My only idea, birds eye camera angles so one could see more of the field he/she was running on. (Adjustable of course, because some people like to see it up close like it did here)
That's one thing crucial with camera angles. Never make one, make several, beacuse if one favors 3rd person views and always have to move around in 1st person, they are not going to enjoy it as much. If they can do 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person views, it gives it variety, a crucial factor in any RPG. Or any game for that matter.
Author's Response:
Ugh... you've got to realize that it's a lot of work even with one camera angle... Flash isn't actually a 3D program and so I can't make a multi- angle 3d game like FF7 and above (although FF7-FF9 games did't actually use 3D backgrounds but they had quite a few views...)
Creating multiple views using 2D is only going to add to the amount of action script, spritework, and a little to the background work I have to do and already the project is practically too much for me...
Still... I appreciate your comment. If I had the time and the energy I would probably implement these multiple camera angles into the game... I'm also glad you liked some of the graphics...
If you would like to see a version of the actual game be sure to check this link out...

Since I've scrapped the battle system used in the demo DrNeroCF is working on a new and more promising battle system with a similar layout... unfortunately it hasn't yet been implemented into the game...
Thank you,
