How about an idea for Random Enemy Encounter? It's pretty little bit, straighten-up battle.

...I kinda like Riviera just the way it is. They could add animated cutscenes to replace the images, but changing the gameplay is a big no-no.

Yeah, I agree. That should really be the only change, if any.

CG events are part of the whole Dating Sim aspect.

1. Orchestrated soundtrack. It's becoming an important standard in more games in this era. Couple that with the fact that many of them are RPGs and that Riviera had a wonderful soundtrack and you have a deal here.
2. Epic camera transitions for battles. Maybe it's just something I'm picking from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, but against certain bosses, mainly the ones in the Tower of Guidance, the camera angle was different than against normal enemies in order to express the importance of this decisive battle.
3. Updated item system. Less disposing, more storage.
4. Fully-animated cutscenes. Not necessary if Riviera retains its point-click style of traveling, and the GBA did a good job of making cutscenes. But moreso for vital points, CGI would be nice.
5. Areas with very nice design. Lacrima Castle could only be expressed so well in Pocket 16 32-bit, but a console would do it wonders.


1. I wouldn't dream of a choir acting in for particular tracks. Full instrumentals... I think would be nice.
2. No comment.
3. The only thing I would want just from that is merging of ammo (I hate it when I get a somethingx40 and another somethingx40 and can't merge for x80). I started getting that idea when I got too many separate pieces of Longbow ammo in Lacrima that hogged space. That is my only concern logistics-wise. Finite uses and the 15-item limit, I can live with them. Unless you want to make a crazy decision/hack to have a "Strange Sack" that can double your inventory space to 31 (Think Paper Mario 2).
4. Only for some of the real good CG times or very critical story parts (such as the arrival of the Accursed).
5. I would agree about a 3D environment giving the best of areas in terms of realism, but I would have to protest on some counts: that A: it defeats the purpose of storyboard-style traveling, and B: there are redundant screens (such as Tetyth, Mireno, and the Strata Maze).

PLEASE, no HD on perverted scenes. Oh for the love of...


Only 480i Standard up to 480p Progressive. NOT 720p HD or 1080p HD. (The latter two take it too far). Would you be happy with that?

Oh yeah, and... not make the characters look like too much like kids (that's why I kinda liked the WSC art styles better, especially the Lv3/ExL OverDrive art).

It's not fucking ammo. You get something that can be used forty times before it breaks and another thing that can be used forty times before it breaks... Why would you be able to combine the two items into one?

What about potions? and don't say it's the same bottle being used over and over, because Ein gets a Potion X3 and says "Potions! These will come in handy!"

You can't mix game play and story. Otherwise you get the whole "why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down on Aeris" kind of bullshit.

... So one Potion is nick-named Gameplay and the other is secretly known as Story? I have now reached enlightenment.

Okay then, please tell me what that had to do with mixing potion stocks together. I seemed to have completely missed the point with my smartassyness.

Basically Sturm meant that plot and inventory are separate game elements, because a lot of plot points in games can be avoided if items in the inventory are used. This is where the Phoenix Down-and-Aeris thing comes in:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Gameplay-wise for Riviera, a merging feature would be nice--but only for things like Potions, which we usually think of in terms of quantity and not the number of sips left anyway. Unless Ein's just lugging a monstrosity of a Potion bottle around.

Thank you, that's what I've been trying to say.

But... what point of the plot could the Potion have possibly changed? That's what I still don't get.
