a.) Original Story, not Comic's Story. Just need to say that :?
b.) According to the mouseover it "took all morning to fill it", so yes there was water in it :D

Maybe it will be like "Water Balloon War II", the first one was called "The Great Water Balloon War" cause they where not expecting a second one, *wink wink* ;)

Sorry for going off topic, won't happen again. And believe me, I could have done a lot more, be glad I stopped. 8-)

Also, glad to see original story won. That will make the game more fun to play for people, because they won't know exactly how it may end. It would also give it more replayability.

But... But... I also have the official comic pairings in my mind, even if they aren't on the top.

And I do believe I have many good ideas, just look at hat list. It is full of many ideas.

I really need to stay on topic here, I have been yelled at about that before. I try, but all that comes out is shipping and other crap. :D

Okay, here's an idea for the premise.
-
Babylon Gardens is a peaceful pet-friendly neighborhood. However odd occurrences have started appearing. Tarot, no longer having her link with the Spirit Dragon, asks Peanut and Grape to investigate. They soon discover something on the high end of the Celestial scale is going on and something needs to be done. Assisted by Tarot and Sabrina's remaining magic Peanut and Grape head around Babylon Gardens and the neighboring areas tracking down the sources of the odd happenings, all the while recruiting other characters like Max, Bino, King, and Fox.
-
How's that for a start?

Seriously, it does look good. However if you are going to use Sabrina again, PLEASE also have Fido in there. You'll make the Fibrina shippers very happy.

Never intended not to have Fido there, it's just his name didn't come of the top of my mind right away like the other 4 did.

I understand that, I'm just saying that I never intended to exclude Fido, I just simply didn't mention him because it was meant to be a vague idea.
PS, should Fido use Guns when he joins the party? :P

How about rubber pellets? "Cause they don't trust K-9 with real guns."

Here are some ideas for how different characters fight:

Peanut will use Balls as his weapons. One of the stronger variants will be of course the Mega Ball.

Grape
will fight using brooms, maybe some other pole weapons later on.

Bino
will fight with Balls similar to Peanut, but his stats will be different.

Max
I'm a little stumped on, but maybe he could use brass knuckles. Admittingly it is a little simple in comparison to other characters, but it works with him being a half-feral, and I think there could be a joke about it being implied that he is de-clawed.

Sasha
I think could use a purse as her weapon, and she throws random junk out of it to harm enemies.

Fox
of course will use a bo-staff, and he'll be a sort of Grape clone, except his stats will be different much like Bino to Peanut.

King
, I have 2 ideas for him. One is a Shovel cause, well you know. Two is a old RPG fashioned Sword, as a reference to him being a more serious character.

At first, I thought that Max having brass knuckles would be a problem, since last I heard, those things are illegal. But somehow, that would still make sense.

Seriously, I keep imagining King using a ninjaken! Don't know why!

Yes, I agree with these choices. It is also apparent to me that everyone has the same mind set as to what the HP! characters would use as weapons, we know these characters very well it would seem :P .
However, hadn't though of brass knuckles for Max, it's quite clever and makes the most sense.

Also, I forgot this one.

Tarot should use basic RPG magic, and would equpi different books to represent different spells. The strongest variant should be "U&U Strategy Guide".

Are you planning on going past the 'Heaven's Not Enough' arc? Considering that Tarot and the Dragon are seperate at that point, it might be a good idea to have her stop using magic (or cut her from the party).

Maybe have her magic slowly go away until there are only basic spells. Over powered in the begining, and later on, just normal.

I do agree with the other characters though. I love the second idea for Kind. And with Max, that does make sense, I could see him using those.

I like the weapon selection nice thinking If Tarot will be heavy-plot involved she can be out of the party, giving hints, missions, selling potions, or something else as NPC.

Maybe we can start with the plot ideas, if someone had already one(s), to see which characters fits better in what kind of roll.

I have an idea where Tarot is a party member, but only for the very beginning of the game, when her magic is stronger. She'll serve as a sort of crutch for the beginning, but quickly leaves the party and takes the role of an Assistant NPC after her magic starts disappearing.

I second getting on to plot ideas!

Or to make the game more balanced, Tarot can be a Jagen-style character where she carries the team but becomes extremely weak mid-game onwards.

Honestly it's much easier to think about specific character strengths with Fire Emblem archetypes :P

Okay, another thing that needs to be cleared. RPGMakerVXAce is a fantasy RPG maker, so it has little to no "Modern" tiles and other things. I tried searching for a "Modern Texture Pack", and I did. However it costs 6 dollars, and it looks sort of dull, though maybe we could customize it to look brighter and more up beat.

This is a good idea, she could serve as early Tutorial, and be part of the party for some of the first missions helping to get used to the gameplay.

I think the idea of Tarot being a party member at the beginning, then becoming an NPC is a great idea. :D

The second best is to have her magic slowly go away throughout the game. Maybe if this happens, at the beginning, magic is her weapon, then as it goes away, she gets a weapon or attack that she can use that isn't magic. :)
