For now though, I can say that this comparatively casual venture takes a great deal of influence from things like [i]Rune Factory[/i] and [i]Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles[/i], a premise centered around a (hopeful) balance between adventure and the days in between. And since that isn't quite enough for me, the bulk of events will be set within a vast ocean of clouds, in a vein not too dissimilar to [i]Skies of Arcadia[/i]. [color=F0E68C][h3][b]Discussion[/b][/h3][/color][sup]————————————————————[/sup] And actually... that's pretty much where this project stands as of now. You see, what the RP will for the most part be centered around, in true life simulator fashion, is the settlement where everyone lives. And that's part of what I really wanted to get feedback on, particularly from anyone whom a group RP like this might appeal to. Really it's conceivable for all players to take up residence on something similar to that flying city pictured above, perhaps as the center of a journey that runs the course of the entire RP. A mildly unique concept in theory, but if that's the case, then I feel that there should be a concerted effort to map out as much of the ship while at the same time offset how potentially limiting the immediate backdrop might be. [i]Or[/i] it could happen that despite how viable a scenario like that is, what most potential players would prefer is a town or village situated on a floating island of some kind. I'm open to suggestions one way or another, very much because I currently can't decide either way. I would also like to mention that picking one choice doesn't necessarily prevent the other from occurring in some manner during the RP itself. And so, since this is what the rest of what's to come of this project hinges on, I decided to open the floor if anyone felt strongly in either direction. I suppose this isn't the only avenue through which I'll ask for anyone's imput on this idea, but it's the first if nothing else. Thank you to anyone curious enough to read this as always.
