~ Suggestions & Improvement ~

@Legate of Mineta: I hope that a default ghost familiar can be granted major power-increases by PCs who study gates magic - rather like Luca the ghost in Telepath RPG: Servants of God becoming Luca'ra'il.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Will Y2 feature boxing as a distinct skill? And will the ability to get the Tome of the Heavy Hand as a favor remain?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

I don't think so! As for the Tome, I am not sure. I don't think so, though.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Are any of the Y1 students getting different Clique abilities in Y2?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

(Almost) all Y1 Students have new Clique Abilities. These further depend on whether you have done their Stories.

I hope that Zoe Melis does not have a different clique ability.

Speaking of Miss Melis, I interpreted her Y1 adventure as being, to some degree, about her trying to fit into a role which she had read about (that of the glamourous socially adept girl). I have done similar things in my life, interestingly, being likewise isolated from normality. In several of my writings about her (written and planned), I have her revealing how her readings of various books shape her view of her life. Is this a reasonable approach to take?

[Legate of Mineta]

Sure.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: are there any plans to have some sort of Year end summary in Y2 before a completed game goes to the credits, listing a PC's (and perhaps a player's) achievements?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Yes!

[yurisama]

Whoever designed Cinzia should get a raise

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Will students get different descriptions in Y2? And will the descriptions of some of them be different based upon Y1's actions? (I think of Ana Flavia Bessa)

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

They have updated descriptions, but it's not dynamic. That's a cool idea, though.

[Schwarzbart]

That make me wonder who helped Ana Flavia Bessa with her wand if the player failed, never finished her adventure or even never started it. I suspect its either a Professor or even the one who gave her this wand.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Would it be acceptable to write an adventure in which Uliva would use a live snake in order to prank someone (such as an annoying student from Vernin College), or would that be too out of character for Uliva?

[Metis]

There's an RE in Y1 where Joana goads Uliva into sending a snake to try and spook Professor Pachait during Zoology class, so if it isn't in character for her in general than at least it's in character for her to be talked into it.

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Sure!

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Would it be permitted in Y2 to have a scene in which the PC and another character romantically kiss? It would be brief, hidden from other people, and they would know that they would be violating the rules in the Academagia. Certainly, I could understand if you were to say no.

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

I don't think there's an issue, as long as it's an innocent kiss appropriate to the age. What the Editors would do is another thing- but as usual, go for it and we'll see what happens.

[yurisama]

I do think these scenes would be better for later years, year 3 foward. If in year 2 dating is still forbidden is better for later years just my 2 cents

[Rhialto]

@yurisama and @Legate of Mineta: Many thanks to you for your feedbacks. I will revise my plans - no kissing in my adventures for Y2.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: May I suggest some modified text for various characters' descriptions in Y2 if the PC completed various adventures?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Sure!

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Will Y2 have a search function or in-game encyclopedia to, for example, easily bring for the player a list of the gates phemes which the PC knows?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Not a search, but a sort, yes.

Let me guess the thief guild of Mineta is actual one of the long running sponsors in Academagia. They are around for a long time and have much to gain from this sponsoring.

Lambert Cobo and/or Miya Hikari should claim this in-game.
