A look at the new items

FourBound 1.5 already has a lot of new content, but even the character stats and some of the battle system is changing too!
Here's how.

The Chosen Four's weaponry
Really only two of the chosen four have a definite theme going for them, but here they are:

 Ryan

• Bat
• Defensive items

• Equippable headset

  Obviously, in the original version, I was literally no different from Ness. At all. This time around though, some tweaks are being made. For the most part, the changes make the game a little easier. You may be able to notice on the sprite a headset. The means of obtaining it will be kept a secret until you actually get to play the game, but it has some really cool features-- you can chat with NPCs you've met through your journey over long distances (think of Pokemon Gold/Silver), and they can actually send you items with very little wait, unlike using Escargo Express. 
Of course, you will notice the trusty bat in that sprite too, but as it turns out, the different bats you can use throughout the game are based on elements. Therefore, some have their weaknesses and strengths, but have overall similar strength to their original forms.

Danny

• Scythe
• Wings
• Additional carrying items
• Defense items

Danny's changes are the most diverse from EarthBound, but not the original FourBound hack. Her trademark scythes return, but now she can equip wings and use them for added defense, and also increased speed/evasiveness. Pretty neat!


Note that the sprites above are obviously subject to change since the final sprites are going to be made by none other than her, but for the time being I'm using the betas for promotional stuff, because hey, why not? 


Last thing. As soon as I finish Twoson/Happy Happy village, I am going to upload a video of Onett gameplay. Expect a short one with some development glitches soon too!

44th post, and check out the new blog skin! This is about 75% customized. Thanks to whoever converted the original theme CSS from Wordspress.
