An idea is to use the entire environment in a boss fight rather than restricting it to a single room.
Also use the surroundings in a boss fight, make it that you can use/destroy your surroundings, because a collapsed tunnel can damage just as easily as the spur.

Question will he have nemisis or blade at the end or both :D

also he can use the spur or blade to shoot down spikes from the roof

and grab the spears or swords off the flying butes and kill them with it :D
that would look cool as :D

note: some sorta matrix feel would make the fighting awesome even though it will be a bit unoriginal

A fast-paced chaotic battle over a large area would look cool. But don't do the slow motion thing that matrix does, will not work.

Have it that Quote and Curly can each use two weapons at once, one for each hand.

What if Quote used the sword for close range and as a shield, and the spur for long range, that would be an interesting combination.

cut arrows up as their fired at him and he can hop on them stab the bute then jump to another.

the spur should be able to bend also like a little be when its fired if he moves his hand a bit to a direction :D

No just block the arrows and other stuff with the flat of the blade.

I want my Balrog back. :D

EDIT:

I don't think so. I got to entering the Castle, and am not sure if it's the end.
Couple of glitches in LoD for Atravir to note:
1. The guy you meet at the pub says "Kayla" even if you change the name.

2. I dunno when this comes into effect, but I finished the first quest (of the necklace) the guards of the castle sent me to do and when I returned I found the same guy at the bar. The game flags to the earlier event and you have to get past the guards again.

3. Similar to 2, even if you finished the feather quest, if you go in the dark forest thingy (where the necklace was) you find the tree monster back and you get the necklace AGAIN and the cutscene follows.

Otherwise

1. Great story
2. Is the music original?

Personal opinion here but I think that wouldn't work visually, and it would be best not to move away from pixels game for the sake of it.

Why should the spur look like a prehistoric bird. :D
p.s. that was a joke.

1. She's a little old lady. She doesn't go far from her house unless need be. that and if you remember, she doesn't have the heart to kill Ballos. she'd probably sit this one out.
Wouldn't she try to SAVE Ballos, he is her brother after all.

Also,
Ucchan said:
Well...

"Like my brother. He killed my brother!" - Toroko

And then..

"Here sleeps the noble Arthur, the true hero to the Mimigas." - Grave

...Could they be a sister and a brother?

Isn't the King's protectiveness for Toroko even more proof of this chance?
And Sue stays at Arthurs place, Toroko is the only friendly person for her?
amoyensis said:
The game explicitly states that Arthur and Toroko were siblings.
In case it might be useful.

Erm, we CAN'T make a 2d 8-bit low res anime series dude. If changing a bit of the game's visual physics is bad, then presenting an old-school sprite as anime definitely is. Just an idea though, since i found it in one of the artworks mentioned in the first page of this thread.

Was that? I never noticed...
andwhyisit said:

I don't think so. Jenka "didn't have the heart to kill her own brother," which clearly implies that she didn't want Ballos to die, but viewed it as her responsibilty towards the people, one she couldn't fulfil.

What's with the rest of the quotes?

I could make you a sig if you want.

What do you think of Yellow so far.

I am just saying that it is rather obvious that the spur shot is a large solid beam but I never said anything about putting 8-bit graphics in a movie, why would you think I meant that? You wouldn't make the fireball shoot ice cubes would you?

Why when I leave for ten hours i come back to three pages on this thread? *Sigh...

To Wazlib:
There are a lot of glitches, especially with the guards. Thanks though, I didn;t know some of those existed.
The game isn't over yet, go get your shadow elixir and give it to the creepy old guy. Then the fun begins... :D
For those who have no intention of playing Light of Dawn, reveal for spoiler:
Quote from game. Party reaches end of dungeon, only to find legendary sword embedded in a podium...
Dale: There it is. The Soul Blade.
Kayla: Well, take it!
...
Dale: I can't.
Alex: Now is not the time to get all sentimental.
Dale: No, literally, I can't. It's stuck!
Skie: Pull on it!
Dale: I am!
Alex: You wuss.
Dale: Wait, I think I got it...
*crack*
...
Kayle: Please tell me that wasn't...
Dale: I broke the soul blade. I BROKE THE FRIGGEN SOUL BLADE!!!
Alex: Aww crap...


On the final battle issue:
Who said they were in a cave? With spikes and brutes? You shall have to see... :D


On weapon issue:
Combining weapons to me sounds...corny. Like something out of Yu-Gi-Oh.
"I combine my Spur and Bubbler to make... THE SPUBBLER!" *crowd gasps*
Honestly, I'll add in the nemesis possibly the bubbler, but beyond that I'm not making some crazy weapon combo to kill Ballos with.

We were referring to having one weapon for each hand, that means using two SEPARATE weapons for two SEPARATE tasks at once. Quote has two hands for a reason ya know.
