Which Mod should I do? (POLL)
« on: August 28, 2012, 10:00:15 am »

Hello, this is ElfCollab here, with a set of choices for you lot. I'm the maker of the Final Fantasy mod, which , for the moment, has stopped development while I figure out the kinks of the interaction system. However, I'm doing an interest check: Which mod would you want to see out:

A comparison of the two mods I'm planning:

Final Fantasy:
-Summon system in Fortmode with a 'Summoner's Circle'
-Ronso, Cait Sith, Qu, Black Mage, and Moogle civs
-Nethcite, Magicite, and Auracite
-Anvil of Souls to make some of the series' weapons (Excalibur, Masaumune, the Buster Blade)
-A magic system based on that of the series
-Elemental resistances
-Mod will be based on the series up to X only, not counting side series

Persona:
-Similar summon system, instead using the Velvet Room as a workshop
-'Resident' civs
-Elemental resistances
-Power based on Arcana
-Mod would be based on 3 and 4 only.
-Fusions, if possible (Kill one Persona, evolve the other Persona and add attacks to it, sorry if this isn't convincing,this is the only way I can think of that replicates the Fusion system)

Both would:
-Add new civs
-A summon system
-Roaming monsters (Deadly Nightshade/Deadly Hablerie)
-Unsummonable Megabeasts (Kunino-Sagiri/Sin)
-Items actually USEFUL to adventurers.
-Various fluff like changed fortmode music.
-Drops (Money, potions, etc, etc.)

As stated above, I'm doing an interest check based on what people would like to see out more as a DF Mod now that both are possibilities (Thank you almight Toady). Choosing one over the other won't stop me making the other mod, it'll just make me prioritize the preferred mod.

On the topic of the Final Fantasy mod, I might resume development, but this is also an interest check to see if people like the concept.

Actually, I might work on these mods side-by-side.

Continue on your current, since one highly polished mod is worth more than two medium-polished mods.

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

Said current has been inactive since 31.25 and hasn't been updated since. If I do continue on my current I'd be starting from scratch, since most of the mods content relied on the syndrome system 34.01+ removed and replaced with interactions.

Hmmm I like the concept of the summoning circle, when you figure it out will you make a version thats not Final Fantasy based? Or will I have to steal and mod it myself to have it in a non-conversion fort?
Kinda fell out with the FF series after 7 :P

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

As I said, the Persona version is the 'non Final-Fantasy' version. The 'Velvet Room' will just essentially be the Summoning Circle, just retiled and given different reactions.

Don't make them both at the same time. Just don't.

Also, the final fantasy mod sounds better, but I don't quite understand what you're basing the other one off of.

It's based off another game series, Megami Tensei, from Atlus. To be precise, the Persona series of games.
EDIT: Removed the 'side by side' option.
EDIT 2: Restarted the poll for REAL this time. I need a serious answer, since this is an interest check to see if people would be interested in either Final Fantasy or Persona mechanics in DF.
