    Strangely enough, in manuals, a Mana potion can regain up to 30 Magic Pts. Which leads me to believe that at some point there might have been more than a 20pts maximum. 20 is mostly OK, given that you return to town often. Except maybe late-game where you have the lasting power to spend a lot...

    Heh heh heh. My plan for the charisma would've been to NOT cap it at 15k gold. Some races would be exorbitantly expensive to level with low charisma. For example, in a rework table I made, it costs 102k gold to level from level 14 to 15, and by the time you reach level 20 it's about 750k. To...

    Hey Harlin, I don't know if you're still working on that project, but in the event that you are... I really thought things over after the failure that was the Phantasie Memorial Set fiasco of last Christmas, and beside the updated sounds/graphics from P3 (and even basic ones from P1) both on...

    On another note, we had a discussion about the monster races having less points value than the basic 6 races, making them less interesting as character Picks So I reworked the table to equilibrate them. The total excludes Charisma, as to the best of my knowledge it is a "Dump Stat" No abilities...

    Okay, see... now that sucks majorly. I did not know that.

    While I 100% agree with you that is a NO EFFORT cash grab, the games themselves as they are on Steam are playable from start to finish with nothing a non-veteran player will notice (as far as little bugs go). So if you can play all 3 games from start to finish, to me it's worth at least a couple...

    Does anyone have the experience table for class/level ? I tried digging a bit into Google but it did not return anything. Talking here about say, a thief needing 500xp for level2, or a Ranger needing 4 million XP from level 16 to 17. Kinda like those AD&D tables I used to see in Baldur's Gate...

    I mean at the extreme minimum, we're talking uplifting NOTHING, they ****SHOULD**** have recompiled Phantasie2 for DOS and triple-checked that the character import feature worked from 1 to 2 then from 2 to 3. There's WAY more bugs/annoyances than that, but IMHO that would have been the strict...

    I finally wrote my Steam review for the Phantasie Memorial Set (had to play it first before I could write the review... Took a while because there's no reason to play it if you use AtariST emulation). Here it is in case ppl want to read it. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =...

    Yes, it basically drains your MP (Magic Points). If you look after a battle where it happens, provided you survive it, you should see your MP reduced even tho you have not cast anything. :)

    Phantasie series

    100% correct. Basically a high level Wizard casts the spell (say on turn #1) - You'll get a message like "The elemental is starting to form" On turn #2, you'll have an extra party member (say the Fire elemental), which you get to control and assign commands to, like you would any other party...

    The Pixie one looks gorgeous IronEye. There's so much potential for a proper remake. For ogre tho, limited size of the box will constrain what you can do. But it already fits very well with the P3 scheme, I'd totally be ok with that.

    Phantasie series

    That I do not know. It's one of those hidden mechanics. I do know there are 2 ways you can have a dead character : Lower than 0 HP, or getting Head or Torso body part "Removed". So Healing 4 being able to regrow body parts as well as recuperating HP, it make sense given the above that a...

    Make sure to post it if you ever make it. And yeah it's good. Map looks better a bit zoomed (as it would be if I where to ever go ahead and remake P1 in the P3-syle engine). And I've since then corrected the 2 mistake still present on this one. (Water tile directly west of the southern...

    I was able to put KROAH's gif into "Tiled" and recreate the map from the overworld of P1. The only thing is that there was no desert tiles for "Deep Desert" nor for "Deep Ocean" so I managed something for deep desert but it does not look good. I did not bother for Deep Ocean and it wasn't...
