I have been working on the Dungeon and decided to re-do alot of elements mainly the walls to suit more with the look of the game.
The result below is still a WIP as no details or the main bulk of shading have been added yet.

PS. tell me if you think its overkill

Sounds interesting. But a Dark Force? It's supposed to be gone.

Dark Force is gone..

Okay major spoiler but who cares right.

Dark Force is kinda used as a boogyman in this game.
Its actually a more realistic enemy in this game that hides behind a myth that Dark Force has returned in order to control its population using fear.

Dammit I think I have given too much away lol.

Im totally open to ideas though.

What are you using to create this? It's especially interesting that you intend to also have this available for Dreamcast.

Fenix due to its high portablity rate.

On a side note:
I am currently looking for Character Ideas and would love the community to contribute ideas.
This can be in a simple description or even better fan art.

The game is based visually on OLD school Phantasy Star and not Phantasy Star online/Universe so please dont expect anything like that.

Another question about Lutz is should he be named Rune or do you think it is better that this could be Lutz the 10th for example (eg a different person who is a decendant of Lutz/Rune).

The game will feature gameplay very similar to Phantasy Star 4, the only difference is that in Battle Mode you will be able to navigate the order in which your characters attack even when a macros isnt used.

Small Update above.
I just started work on the futuristic town, obviously its still early in the works and is lacking shadows, details and all the good old extras.
I've tried to go for something similar to PS2 but still sticking to the size of PS4 towns.

Just changed the city example above to a slightly more active one.

Keep this in mind, HTD - the story is the most important thing in a RPG... get that right, and everything else will fall in to place.

I look forward to what you'll come up with. :)

Okay so the update above is my non-animated part of the city (which will look like the above City sprite when finished, I plan on having this City be quite large and am going to have connecting bridge/s to other parts of the City, So take this update as Part 1.
The city is a gambling type place where you will be able to enter Casinos, Fight Tournaments and fun things like that.
The population is very devided amongst the rich and the poor, this will play an itegral part in the side missions of the city.

Amwhere:

I definately will be focusing on the story with V.
The only problem I am having is I would like to connect PS3 to the story somehow but being unable to get into it in the slightest... It has been difficult.
At the moment my story could be considered canon with PS1,PS2 and PS4 but 3 has a few plot holes in the PS mythology, I was hoping to use V originally as a way of clearing some of these things up.
There are many relatives in PSV, Zios family line is explained in detail and how and why they wish to serve Dark Force etc...also I've been keen tobring a certain cyborg boss from PS3 but I know so little about the game I have kind of decided to focus on PS2 and PS4 as my inspirations in the near future.

Thanks for the support guys

the graphics are awesome

Thanks Rodrigo
The graphics are important but the story and gameplay must always come first. My biggest fear was that it all might end up looking similar to PS3 (2 colour tones per civilian urghh).
Im trying to go for a mixture of PS2/PS4 graphic style.

Update above
For some reason Jonas' animation is fine untill i put it through Animation Shop and it ends up becoming mess and pixelated for some reason.
You get the general Idea but expect it to look as clean as the rest of the sprites.

BTW what do you guys think to Ziela, the decendent of Zio?
A good idea / a bad idea tell me what you think guys.
