Revamp Approaching Chapter 17



I've started up work on Tactics Universe--for real this time--and I've now come up to chapter 17 on the "revamp". You can see the revised ending scene (well, not TOO much is changed, but whatever) posted on youtube below.



Aside from that, I'd like to point out some of the changes being made.

- Noah is now a playable character in part 2
- All main characters can now seize (Siegfried, Anakin, and Kelik--I know Shon is also a "main character" but he's not mainly/manly enough... :P)
- "Respite from Battle" has been taken out. To remedy this, the chapter 16 boss will drop a Celestial Ring. Respite From Battle was a chapter originally intended to act as a filler after one of the patches. It was kept afterwards for entertainment purposes and also to connect the gap between the parts (people would restart the chapter and talk to the Knight who would now let them advance after the new patch was applied).
- Chapter 15x has also been cancelled. It was originally meant to be a mini-game chapter, but was cancelled due to time restraints.
- I am now elaborating on various parts of the story more in-depth. This will make the dialogs longer but will also make more sense of things like the story behind Kelik and his brother, the purpose of the various mementos throughout the story (e.g. Kelik's necklace, Yue's amulet, etc.), the timeline of events in the war, amongst other things. I think this will help improve the plot much more, despite the fact that I am not the best story teller.

There are also many other changes, some of which I simply can't remember to state, some of which haven't been implemented, and some of which I simply can't spoil because they are too great, so you'll have to wait on the completed game to see everything for yourself!

And as usual if you have anything to suggest or report or say, just leave a comment, believe it or not the comments sometimes motivate me because when it comes to hacking I get moody, it's such a pain in the butt. XD
