    Black Ribbon (New and IMPROVED!)

    I finally got my second copy of PS1 RPG MAKER in the mail today around 2:30, so I've been working on Black Ribbon since. Ever since the game was first released (nearly two years ago), people have complained, and complained, and complained about the difficulty, so I decided to test play the game myself and fix the battles so they'll be a little more balanced.

    In addition to that, I'm also fixing up the God-awful grammar in the game. Good lord...I don't even know what I was trying to say or spell half the time...

    Anyway, to refresh your minds, here's the basic storyline of the game and the cast of playable characters.

    STORY: In the future, the world is in bad shape. The cities are not getting enough money and children are working at an early age. However, that is not the concern people have now; it's the Black Ribbon. The Black Ribbon is a magic spell that creates a Ribbon above the Earth that opens the gates of hell, causing demons to come to Earth. To chant this spell, you need the Sacred One. According to the myths, every 1500 years, a Sacred One is born and has the magic to create the Black Ribbon. Everyone in the world knows about that myth, especially the most dangerous people. The year is 3520, it's the time of year where the Sacred One is born and everyone who believes in that legend, is scared. The Sacred One is hidden, no one can find it or feel it. It is completely unsearchable. However, with the magic of the Holy Child, you can easily find the Sacred One. Because of the Black Ribbon spell, many people are after the Holy Child to find the Sacred One so they can kill it. Groups like SEG (Scared Execution Group), Magnum X and HASS(Holy And Scared Search), Zodiac, a group of demon worshippers who want the Black Ribbon. A beauitful witch named Aekia Celsus, is the only one that knows who REALLY is behind the Black Ribbon. Leon, is sent to protect the Sacred One for unknown reasons. With his ring, Issac. Leon must find the Sacred One to protect it from those who want it.

    Leon Saga
    Age: 20
    Leon wishes he were a normal man with a normal life. Four years ago, Leon found a black ring. This ring is actually a ring you can use to summon a dark magician named Issac. Issac was summoned and commanded Leon to find the Scared One. The Sacred One is the one that can be used to summon the Black Ribbon. This will obviously kill many people. Leon's job is to find the Sacred One and protect it from people who want to kill it. Leon's a nice man. He's very curious and very strong. He uses his Issac Ring as a source of magic. Other then that, he uses no magic. He lacks usage of Techs as well.

    Cilia Woodman
    Age: 20
    Cilia lives in a small ritual forest town. Her mother moved in with her and has been causing hell since. Cilia wants her mother to move out but she won't do it. Cilia can be snobby at times. She acts like a 5-year-old brat most of the time. She meets Leon after a argument she has with her mother. She asks Leon to take her to Crest City away from her mother.
    Cilia can be nice and sweet, to boys anyway. When she saw Leon she helped him out instantly. Cilia's quest to get away from her mother turns out be more serious as it continues...

    Aekia Celses
    Age: 22
    Aekia is a witch that lives in a shrine in Crest City. She is “best friends” with Quilia. She knows the truth about the Sacred One and the Holy Child. Aekia predicts the future and what happens. She is a beautiful 22-year-old woman with blue hair and a white robe. She saw the Black Ribbon and what will happen to the world. She wants to do everything in her power to prevent the Black Ribbon. She joins Leon and Cilia to stop the Black Ribbon.

    Quilia Wymono
    Age: 19
    Quilia-lives in Crest City which is like a giant slum. She is best friends with Aekia. Aekia predicted that Quilia will be raising a child. Quilia got really excited, but, the child she will be raising is the Holy Child. Quilia didn't understand what the Holy Child is, her love for children keeps her excited anyway. On her way to the store she meets a kid named Alen. Who, has had a bad past.
    Quilia is nice and innocent girl. She likes helping people and wants to do good deeds. She can't stand to sit at home with nothing to do and no one to help. Unfortunately, Quilia isn't very smart. She always acts before thinking.

    Alen Gemin
    Age: 8
    Alen is a kid that lived a really bad life. He's been absused often throughout his life. He hasn't been loved and cared for like most 8 year-olds are. Alen was tought things that most people don't learn at 8 years old, making him very smart for his age. Alen is shy and doesn't talk much. He has powers that mages use.


    Eliza Rolonae
    Age: 28
    Eliza is the boss of a group called Magnum X. She is famous for spying on her enemies and getting as much information as she can get. Eliza is a tough and smart woman while she's working. But outside her job she's a nice, funny and caring. She loves to joke around just as much as she likes to get her work done. However, there are many things about Eliza that people don't know, not even her partners. Eliza loves to arm wrestle.

    Ira Ishigami
    Age: 19
    Ira is the youngest member of Magnum X in terms of membership. He thinks Eliza is cool and wants to use the same Techs that she uses. Ira is very careless. He acts very brashly. He loves to fight battles. That's the best part of the job, according to him. Ira joined Magnum X because he's trying to beat someone in something. But who?

    Rei Yanami
    Age: 17
    Rei is the only mage in Magnum X. She was the only one in her family born with the gift of magic. She is the youngest one in the Magnum X group, but, she's one of the oldest members, membership wise. Rei came from a very poor household. She joined Magnum X to get enough money to take care of her parents. Rei is a caring girl. She cares for everyone and tries to help them out any way she can.

    Britis Zackard
    Age: 33
    Britis lived a long life of crime. He's been in many jails for most of his life. Britis is the number one man to be executed in many areas around the world. Britis was kidnapped from Jail and put in a tube in Crest Factory. Eliza, Ira and Rei help him escape. Britis is a tough man, who is very strong. Nothing can hurt him. To be in so many jails, Britis does not act like a criminal. He is helpful. Britis is trying to atone for his sins.

    Mooble Vella
    Age: 23
    Mooble is a gremlin that looks terribly young for his age. He's been working for the SEG for five years now. Mooble is a master at traps. He isn't a fan for killing, so he traps his enemies, which is way he is a key member. Mooble is a funny person and is enjoyable. He likes to have fun and be serious when both are needed. Because of his somewhat lying and conniving nature, people find it hard to trust him.

    Vengstin Takal
    Age: 25
    Vengstin is a traveler that travels for answers to his questions. He used to own a manison long ago, but it was destroyed. Since then Vengstin has been searching the world for the one who destroyed his mansion and the people in it. Vengstin can be very cold at times. He doesn't really care about other people or what they have to think. Vengstin never explain his motives to anyone, and if he does, he'll kill them. Being a traveler, he knows a lot about the world and it will prove useful
    to the group.

    Shar Astey
    Age: 30
    Shar works for SEG as well as a "Rough Guard". Shar is very strong and people are afraid to talk to him, thinking that he'll hurt them. Shar is very mean towards "weak" men, which to him, is everyone. In other words, he's ****y. Shar has a family who he protects and visits often. He's more like a family guy. However, Shar is very nice and caring towards woman. Shar joins the group to find Eliza, his crush.

    Fakle Coreshemo
    Age: 21
    Fakle is a man born with strange ears. He has been picked on because of that as a kid. When Fakle grew up he left his family to go on a long journey. Fakle doesn't like all the choas over the Sacred One and wants to stop it. He left his town with his best friend Sierra. On one tragic day, Sierra and Fakle were on their way to Miltod when Britis shot her from above. Fakle was completely divested and since developed pure hatred for Britis. Fakle wishes to kill Britis for killing Sierra someday.

    Pili
    Age: 5
    Pili is Resal's pet and guardain. He is a talking cat. Really, Resal's cat is just a vessal for the spirit inside, Evagrasp. Pili is very wise and always thinks before acting. He constantly nags Resal to do the same. Pili thinks the Sacred One will never be found and they'll die by the Black Ribbon. Pili is always a negetive thinker. He knows who truly is behind all of the chaos, and who wants the Black Ribbon. Pili keeps it away from everyone for their own safety.

    Resal Crestent
    Age: 8 1/2
    Resal used to be a normal kid, until Evagrasp came along and gave him magic. Resal loves his new power. Resal's obsession to becoming an adult annoys the others. Resal consider himself an adult and thinks he can kill everyone with his spells. He is very bossy and persuasive. He can completely change someone's personality with what he says. His main reason for traveling is to learn how adults act. He looks at Alen and thinks he's little kid and needs to grow up. What Resal really wants, however, is simply a best friend.

    I'm going to try to finish this by the end of the week. So in the mean time, if you liked what you read, feel free to drop a comment. And don't...and I mean DON'T download the Black Ribbon already on this site by ANY means! Trust me, you will regret it!

    The new and improved verison of Black Ribbon will come with a guide (proofread, unlike the last one) and some added pictures.

    Thanks for reading, and God bless.

    Re: Black Ribbon (New and IMPROVED!)

    The story for this game was certainly promising. I wish I got past the power plant.

    But yeah, the first areas at least were definately hard. The first place I had to wander around the save point for a couple levels hoping I would be lucky enough to win a battle, and eventually find it safe to travel through the place. The first boss fight, the boss seemed plenty overpowered, like I was supposed to be using high-level characters, though the characters were new.

    Can't comment on the grammar. It's been a while. Though I think I recall a few instances where I noticed some errors.
    "What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change. Imagine the best friendship that could be found there."

      I think I speak for all of us when I say ... "whoa." (imitates Keanu Reeves from the Matrix.)

      You really have something great going here! Keep up the awesome work, and good luck with your project!

        Thanks, Misty!

        Oh, and Draygone, yeah, the Rock Trail dungeon (the one with Eliza, Rei, and Ira), it was intended that you gain a couple levels first around the save point (since you fight those enemies pretty often through the first few hours of the game). Once you're around level 7-8, the Rock Trail becomes a piece of cake.

        And the first boss fight...that's been fixed. Definitely! I died twice myself yesterday, so that's when I knew something was wrong.
