And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

There, got all that? Good. Now, event stuff. Not quite an experiment this time. You know that big ol' Battle Dome? Well, the two NPCs residing under it have been making some tweaks on behalf of the Lucetians. Unfortunately a certain Intern has not quite yet mastered Sixth Level Shifting Fundamentals and... well, things will go a bit awry.

On the 26th, the Dome's chambers will no longer function. Though the clinic and vending areas will be fine, the chambers will be locked off entirely. The viewing areas will be blanked out, preventing anything from being seen.

On the 27th, at about noon, suddenly Luceti will be... a little bit odd. All the sort of things that usually happen in the dome? Now it's all over Luceti. Most significantly this will include 'enemies'. They aren't real and they can't kill, but they can hurt you (though not severely). These can range from RPG monsters, generic enemies (like soldiers, bandits, knights, etc), and so on. When they are defeated, they will vanish in a flash of light. However there's a good chance they may just 'respawn' elsewhere. Annoying right?

Unfortunately the scenarios have followed with it, seemingly at random. While your hallway may now seem like a jungle with all the vines all around, your bedroom looks more like a castle dungeon. Even stranger given that your house looked like a skyscraper from outside. Or, you know, perhaps your home is just fine. Only your neighbors have it bad. This means your house could be infested with bad guys AND/OR look completely different. (In other words, it's only as annoying as you want it to be.)

These shenanigans will persist until the 31st, in the evening at 6PM. Everything will be back to normal... but better! At least in the Dome. After it's been fixed to the way it should be, the Dome will now allow for more freedom. Enemies are no longer required, you can simulate a control console inside the scenario to build a world as you go, you can even script stories together if you like. But that stuff is boring, right? The better part is that vehicles can now be simulated - lasers, racecars, and airplanes. It's a duck blur.

The usual safeties of course are still enabled and nothing in there can kill you. Not even crashing spectacularly in a huge explosion. At best you'll just walk away dizzy.

As usual, plotting and questions can be done here. Have at it, ye scurvy players!

Breath of Fire IV. Breath of Fire III is one of my favorite games ever - pretty much the first game I was ever exposed to - and Breath of Fire IV was only a small step down. But damn - for early PS1 games that had barely mastered cell shading, the storylines could be brutal.

I don't think I've even heard of it, unfortunately. Still, that sounds rough @.@

No one has, unfortunately. The last game was released nearly ten years ago, and it never made it past PS2. Still, it's a series I've always adored for their storytelling and their characters - if I ever get into video game design, I'm programming a sequel to Breath of Fire III just so it's a little less tragic. And Breath of Fire VI is fast going the way of Duke Nuken Forever, but I stil lhae hope.

[blessedbyfarore]

Hopefully it won't be as godawful as Duke Nukem Forever XD;; Oh man, the reviews... ew.

And heh, that makes sense. The only Playstation game I've ever played is the original Soul Blade, so... (The first Soul Calibur was on Dreamcast and I've never played it, Soul Calibur II we have for Gamecube - Link is in it! 8D) - and III and IV we have on XBox.)

*facepalm* GOOD GOD I HOPE NOT. I just...I don't even like that kind of game, and I was upset on behalf of every fan waiting for it. Granted, the last game (Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) wasn't that great, it deviated a lot from the standard formula and a lot of fans are of the opinion that it killed the franchise. But it has been stated that the lack of new games comes from a lack of manpower rather than a lack of interest. So, fingers crossed!

[blessedbyfarore]

Huh... will keep them crossed!
