Hi HwitVlf,
Several things:
First and foremost, thank you.
I remember being 13 years old at a video game xchange store and randomly seeing Suikoden and Brigandine on the shelf. Those were the days when box art still played a significant role in the game purchasing decision. Needless to say, as an rpg fan, I picked both of the games up. That was a good day.
Ever since, Brigandine has been one of my favorite games. I usually sit down for a run through annually. I know the whole Bulnoil boss fight in LOF has been a big point of contention between Brig players for years, but I still swear that I fought him one time when I was a kid......or maybe that was just a 13 year old boy's dream one night. I'm still determined to beat that pesky wizard in LOF someday.
Your work of translating GE to English is truly a labor of love and something many of us strategy rpg lovers have been waiting years for and such dedication does not go unnoticed.
I personally am a fan of LOF's 3D cutscenes. I leave them on through all of my play throughs. I like the anticipation of seeing whether an attack hits or not and I love the sens of scale between the units.
I also agree with you on the voice overs. Subtitles are great, but I'd love to see GE with English voice actors, that would be just awesome.
I read your post about wanting to be a teacher and I agree with you on the politicized educational field. I used to teach grade school, but I left, got an advanced degree, worked in the private sector and now teach college. It is a much, much better environment for learning in my opinion. If you ever have an opportunity to teach auto mechanics at a tech college, go for it!
Lastly, I'm interested in making a mod for LOF. One thing I love about GE is that it shows the player what their odds of hitting an opponent with a certain attack is. What I'd like to do is create a mod for LOF that displays the chances of an attack/spell connecting, prior to committing to the action. My problem is that I guess I just don't know where to start. Any advice or resources you could offer on this project would be greatly appreciated, even if the advice is "You're nuts don't even try it" that would also be helpful!
Thank you again so much for your hard work and communication. I have truly enjoyed reading this thread and watching the process unfold.
