Title: Idea for a DS game
Post by: The Omen on October 14, 2004, 11:33:08 AM
I would like a game like Baldurs Gate. When in multiplayer mode, up to 4 people can play together, but the difference with the DS would be, they can also go off on their own. Once they leave a players screen, the map on the bottom screen shows where they are in the current area. This opens up a whole new way to play, as you could theoretically go for all the gold/reward yourself, making you enemies along the way. But your lack of teamwork could hurt you in battle. You could all work together as well, with two players going around back of a group of skeletons to ambush them as you draw their fire. I mean, really, the gameplay mechanics this opens could be endless. There could be stats at the end of each area, and what you did can change your alignment, such as evil or neutral. Hell, even Gauntlet would work this way.

You stole my idea for a perfect Zelda DS multiplayer!

Yeah, Zelda Four Swords/ FFCC on the DS should make use of this. They should be even better than the GC version.
The thing about those games on the DS is that it's like you're hooking up an extra TV for each player as well. As such, there's no need to keep all the players on the same screen so the camera keeps track of them all...
They should get rid of the mist and crystal cup thing in FFCC DS. They serve no purpose anymore.

I personally dont think they will. Those crystals are a major part of their gameplay mechanic. Most likely they'll add more crystals so two or more players can have one.

That would be awesome. One charismatic party member could use his skills to talk his way through things in a corrupted but rich city and gain money,experience, etc. Then another party member could fight goblins attacking a peaceful village and get rare loot from the goblin bodies. Finally they would join up, share riches, get more powerful and teamwork to fight against the main enemy of the game. The seperation could be for multiple sidequests.
