I played once NWN2 in a dream… It consisted of parts of the real game, combined with a character I made IRL in the game, adding ot that a village (With a map!) with a couple of sidequests, a persistent world (That is, once I’ve killed someone, their corps stayed. Once I have burned a house, it kept burning) add to that my own private undead (Wich looked like my char but wore different armor and had a different weapon I gave it) And what you get is quite fun.
But the funniest part of all, is that I actually had dialogs like in the game (A number of possible written answers, and a single written response from who I speak to)
I highly advice to have such dreams. I think the best way to have them is to become addicted to a game (Somewhat), and then not touching the computer for a week (Without going on a trip or so, so you are still home)
I’ve been in Doom, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame/Project Zero, Legend of Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Kingdom Hearts and an non-existing Castlevania-game, but not in FF yet.
To me Final Fantasy doesn’t sound like the most interesting game to be in.
That would get really boring really quick. Even if you have a lucid dream every other night, and they last ten minutes, even a short game would take a few months to beat. And that’s not even considering memorizing all the small parts of the game irl and such.
Honestly, just wait 10-20 years, technology will get to the point where you don’t need to LD to do that.
Some people can experience a hundred years within an hour, so I think that a week within ten minutes is enough. And think about that that you never backtrack, you move quickly, you can remmeber things that have never happened…
not really. Dreams are pretty much in real time. You might feel like you have a really long one, but chances are there are a lot of things that didn’t really happen.
Honestly though, I’m not a huge fan of the series… (SEGA and Phantasy Star forever!!!) Reno has just kinda become my universal nickname over the years.
Oh, and I knew what you meant painocus, I was just kidding. Yeah, the standard, “you hit me, I hit you” battle system of the Final Fantasy series wouldn’t be very fun. I would probably just forget the game and just visit places and kill things!
This is an interesting topic since visualizing a world from an RPG (FF, CT, etc) is something I have often tried to do when I attempt to LD. It’s very tough for me to visualize an entire world and the characters within it… though I pulled it off nearly perfectly once, with a pretty bad end result that has deterred me from trying again.
I wouldn’t mind trying again, but the difficulty of it is what stops me most of the time. If anyone has any tips, I wouldn’t mind hearing them!
