Good Sir
"Duckie" is my go-to slightly-sarcastic-but-not-in-a-mean-way term of endearment. Imagine it said with a wry twist of the mouth and you've got it.
ah, i thought you called me "your little duckling" or something.
Also, if I had the means, I'd redo Phantasie entirely. New graphics, adaptable (if for DS) to the touchscreen interface (touching buildings for access to their functionality - like the Bank or Guild - instead of simple panels), and possibly do a kind of Eye of the Beholder view of the dungeon on the bottom screen (and the standard overview on the top). The more sadistic could also have a "disarm the trap" minigame, or just let the thief do it.
*thinks of Oblivions minigames and shivers*
This so could work. GIVE ME FUNDING AND A DEV TEAM, STAT! ...Oh, and the rights to remake it. Bugger. That's one of the harder parts.
dunno if it would be any problem, since SSI got canned permanently in 1994 (that year had to be the darkest year of them all, SSI gets canned, Commodore goes belly up and i broke my wrist. ), i think Ubisoft was the last owner of the brand name.
my guess is that its pretty much freeware by now.
